Abstract

Achievement, personality, and interest tests are widely used in the schools. Some of the tests that are often employed include the Strong Vocational Interest Blank, the Kuder Preference Record, the Otis Quick-Scoring Mental Ability Tests, and the MMPI. These tests have proven useful in assessing individual differences, and in providing the basis for decisions by educators in respect to student grade placement, achievement standing, counseling services, and vocational training. However, social behavior is another important facet of a student's performance. The social behavior of a student is, of course, associated with a student's performance in school. Ways to objectively and systematically describe a student's pattern of behavior are not widely used in the schools today. Accordingly, the need exists to construct an inventory to describe the behavior initiated by a student as well as the social behavior of others toward the student. Thus, additional objective information to assess the social needs of a student is provided to educators.
