Personal Report
The Social Skills Inventory (SSI), also known as the Self-Description Inventory, assesses basic social skills that underlie social competence. It evaluates verbal and non-verbal communication skills and identifies strengths and weaknesses. The instrument is useful in individual and couples counseling, management and leadership training, and health psychology.
- Assesses communication skills as they relate to overall social competence
- Clients respond to items using a five-point scale, indicating the extent to which the description of the item applies to them
- Scores are reported for each of the scales and a combined score is given to indicate global social intelligence
- Ninety items can be completed in thirty to forty minutes
- Efficient to score
- Requires an eighth grade reading level
The SSI assesses skills in these key areas:
- Emotional Expressivity
- Emotional Sensitivity
- Emotional Control
- Social Expressivity
- Social Sensitivity
- Social Control
The Manual/Sampler Set contains valuable information about the use and interpretation of scores as well as current reliability and validity information.
