Psychometric Testing — What We Measure
A catalog of validated instruments across personality, attachment, cognition, interpersonal behavior, psychopathology, and implicit motivation. All scored deterministically against published norms.
Personality
Five-Factor Personality Inventory
The most replicated structure in personality research — Openness, Conscientiousness, Extraversion, Agreeableness, Neuroticism — scored against published normative samples. 120-item full form with 30 facet scales.
Attachment Style (Experiences in Close Relationships)
Wei et al. (2007) short form. Two-dimensional adult attachment scoring (anxiety × avoidance) with quadrant classification into secure, preoccupied, dismissing, and fearful styles.
Interpersonal
Interpersonal Circumplex
32-item measure of interpersonal style across the Dominance (D) and Love (L) axes. Yields an octant classification and vector length (interpersonal intensity). Markey & Markey (2009); items from the public-domain IPIP.
Core Conflictual Relationship Theme
Free-response relationship episode narratives coded using Luborsky's (1998) standard category taxonomy for Wish, Response of Other, and Response of Self.
Need to Belong Scale
Leary et al. (2013). 10-item measure of the fundamental motivation to form and maintain interpersonal bonds. Key differential predictor for avoidant vs. schizoid features.
Cognitive
Visual Digit Span
Working-memory span task. Digit sequences are presented and recalled forward, backward, or in ascending order. Scored as raw maximum span and sequences correct.
Mental Rotation
Visuospatial transformation task. Participants judge whether paired figures are the same or mirror images across varying angular disparities, indexing Gv (visuospatial processing).
Lexical Decision Task — Semantic Priming
Semantic-priming reaction-time task. Word vs. non-word decisions across two blocks measure associative priming and the short-vs-long prime interval (SOA), reported as within-subject priming in milliseconds.
Lexical Decision Task — Age of Acquisition
Word vs. non-word decisions on 80 words drawn from the Kuperman et al. (2012) AoA norms, split into early-acquired (≤4 yr) and late-acquired (≥9 yr) sets. Reports the AoA effect in milliseconds.
Variable Tempo Stroop (Experimental)
Colour-naming Stroop across four blocks with a shrinking inter-stimulus interval (1000–250 ms). Reports Tempo Amplification Ratio, Dynamic Inhibition, and Executive Flexibility — novel within-person constructs without published norms.
Psychopathology screeners
Depression Screener (PHQ-9)
Brief depression-symptom screener. Decision-aid only — not a diagnosis. Spitzer, Kroenke & Williams (1999). Widely validated in primary care and research settings.
Generalized Anxiety Disorder Scale
Spitzer et al. (2006). 7-item anxiety screener validated against structured diagnostic interviews. Decision-aid — not a diagnosis.
PTSD Checklist
Weathers et al. (2013). 20-item DSM-5 aligned PTSD symptom checklist. Widely used in VA settings and trauma research. Decision-aid — not a diagnosis.
Revised Social Anhedonia Scale
Chapman et al. 40-item measure of social anhedonia — the absence of pleasure in social contexts. Primary predictor of schizoid personality features in the Winarick & Bornstein (2015) model.
