WHAT THE TEST MEASURES
About This Assessment
Social Interaction Competence Assessment Scale Test

Social Interaction Competence Assessment Scale Test

This measure is designed to support a brief appraisal of social-interaction skills in context. The Social Interaction Competence Assessment Scale presents respondents with interpersonal situations and asks them to indicate how they would typically respond, allowing clinicians to characterize perceived effectiveness and adaptability in social problem-solving.

The instrument includes 30 items and typically requires about 6 minutes to complete. It may be used as part of a broader assessment to identify relative strengths and areas that could benefit from skills development or targeted intervention, with results interpreted alongside clinical history and other data sources.

The Social Interaction Competence Assessment Scale is attributed to Ronald E. Riggio and is intended for use in educational, organizational, or clinical settings where social functioning and interpersonal competence are relevant to case formulation or treatment planning.
