About This Assessment
Tromsø Social Intelligence Scale Test

Tromso Social Intelligence Scale (TSIS) Test - Symptoms and Signs

This brief self-report measure is used to screen perceived social intelligence in everyday interpersonal situations. The Tromso Social Intelligence Scale (TSIS) consists of 15 items and typically takes about 3 minutes to complete.

Items assess perceived capacity to understand social cues and navigate interactions, including attention to others’ feelings and behavior and confidence in social engagement. The Tromso Social Intelligence Scale (TSIS) may be used in educational or clinical contexts to support case formulation, monitor change over time, and help identify areas for targeted skills support when interpreted alongside other clinical information.
