Assessment test that measures grip strength. Participants are seated in a chair with their feet touching the ground. With the elbow bent to 90 degrees and the arm against the trunk, wrist at neutral, participants squeeze the Jamar Plus Digital dynamometer as hard as they can for a count of three. The dynamometer provides a digital reading of force in pounds. A practice trial at less than full force and 1 test trial are completed with each hand. This protocol is adapted from the grip strength testing protocol of the American Society of Hand Therapy. The test takes approximately 3 minutes to administer and is recommended for ages 3-85.

Assessment test to measure the memory of patients using their ability to sort objects. It requires immediate recall and sequencing of different visually and orally presented stimuli. Pictures of different foods and animals are displayed with accompanying audio recording and written text (e.g., elephant), and the participant is asked to say the items back in size order from smallest to largest, first within a single dimension (either animals or foods, called 1-List) and then on 2 dimensions (foods, then animals, called 2-List). The score is equal to the number of items recalled and sequenced correctly, and the test takes approximately 7 minutes to administer. This test is recommended for ages 7-85, but is available for use as young as age 3, if requested.

A supplemental instrument that is a measure of speed of processing. The participant is presented with a set of nine symbols on the computer screen, each associated with a number 1-9, and is then presented with a series of symbols without numbers and is asked to orally say each number that should go with that symbol, without skipping any. The score is equal to the number of symbols correctly identified orally within two minutes. Recommended for ages 8-85 as a supplement to the Pattern Comparison Processing Speed Test or as a potential alternative in cases where a participant's motoric limitations would preclude administering the Pattern Comparison Processing Speed Test. Takes approximately 3 minutes to administer.

Assessment test that measures speed of processing by asking participants to discern whether two side-by-side pictures are the same or not. Participants' raw score is the number of items correct in a 90-second period. The items are designed to be simple to most purely measure processing speed. The test overall takes approximately 3 minutes to administer. This test is recommended for ages 7-85, but is available for use as young as age 3, if requested.

Assessment test that measures manual dexterity recording the time required for the participant to accurately place and remove 9 plastic pegs into a plastic pegboard. The protocol includes 1 practice and 1 timed trial with each hand. Raw scores are recorded as time in seconds that it takes the participant to complete the task with each hand (a separate score for each). The test takes approximately 4 minutes to administer and is recommended for ages 3-85.

Assessment test that is a measure of gaze stability, which helps identify individuals who may have a deficit of the vestibular system (which regulates internal balance). The NIH Toolbox Visual Acuity Test must be administered followed by the DVA Test. Participants are seated 12.5 feet from a computer monitor at eye level. For the DVA Test, participants wear lightweight headgear that contains a rate sensor, and are asked to move the head back and forth, as if saying no. Once the head is measured to be moving at greater than 180 degrees per second, an optotype flashes on the monitor, and the participant is asked to identify it. Smaller optotypes are displayed as the participant correctly identifies letters, and larger ones are displayed if the participant cannot correctly identify the letter shown, until the computer has calculated the smallest size that the participant can see with the head moving. This is calculated separately for head rotation leftward and rightward from center (though the participant continues shaking the head both ways), and this performance is compared to the participant's visual acuity when the head was stationary (the NIH Toolbox Visual Acuity Test score, sometimes referred to as static visual acuity in the context of the DVA test). The difference between static and dynamic visual acuity represents the vestibular contribution to gaze stability. The DVA Test takes approximately six minutes to administer and is recommended for ages 3-85.

Assessment test that directly measures participants' visual acuity, or distance vision. The participant is seated 12.5 feet away from a computer monitor at eye level, and letters (called optotypes) are displayed one at a time on the screen for the participant to identify, using both eyes at the same time. As the participant successfully identifies optotypes of a given size, smaller ones appear on the screen, until the computer program ascertains the smallest-size optotype the participant can successfully see. Conversely, the program displays larger optotypes if the participant cannot see the letter size that is first displayed, until a size that he/she can accurately see is found. For participants ages 3-7, only the letters H, O, T, and V are used, and children may point to a laminated card showing the letters if they cannot verbalize or cannot recall the letter names. For participants ages 8 and above, the entire set of optotypes is used, following a common protocol used in professional vision testing. This test takes approximately three minutes to administer and is recommended for ages 3-85.

http://personality-testing.info/tests/NPI.php
A test to measure narcissism as a personality trait in social psychological research. Although there are several versions, a forty-item forced-choice version (Raskin & Terry 1988) is the one most commonly employed in current research. It is based on the DSM-III clinical criteria for narcissistic personality disorder (NPD), although it was designed to measure these features in the general population. Thus, the NPI is often said to measure normal or subclinical (borderline) narcissism (i.e., in people who score very high on the NPI do not necessarily meet criteria for diagnosis with NPD). Raskin and Terry (1988) identified seven factors of the NPI (i.e., Authority, superiority, exhibitionism, entitlement, vanity, exploitativeness and self-sufficiency), mapping roughly onto the DSM criteria for NPD. Since then, several studies have further examined the factor structure of the NPI with varying results. It should take most people five to ten minutes to complete.

http://psychology-tools.com/eat-26/
A widely used standardized self-report measure of symptoms and concerns characteristic of eating disorders. The original 40-item version was developed for a study to examine socio-cultural factors in the development and maintenance of eating disorders. A 26-item refinement of the original test has been made and it has been translated into many different languages and used in hundreds of studies. The EAT-26 has been useful as a screening tool to assess eating disorder risk in high school, college and other special risk samples such as athletes. It can be used in a non-clinical as well as a clinical setting not specifically focused on eating disorders. It can be administered in group or individual settings and is designed to be administered by mental health professionals, school counselors, coaches, camp counselors, and others with interest in gathering information to determine if an individual should be referred to a specialist for evaluation for an eating disorder. It is intended primarily for adolescents and adults. The EAT-26 should be used as the first step in a two-stage screening process. According to this methodology, individuals who score 20 or more on the test should be interviewed by a qualified professional to determine if they meet the diagnostic criteria for an eating disorder. The tests are rated on a six-point scale in response to how often the individual engages in specific behaviors. (adapted from Wikipedia)

http://psychology-tools.com/altman-self-rating-mania-scale/
A 5-item self-reported diagnostic scale used to assess the presence and severity manic and hypomanic symptoms, most commonly in patients diagnosed with bipolar disorder. It assesses differences in normal or baseline levels in five subjective and behavioral areas: positive mood, self-confidence, sleep patterns, speech patterns / amount of sleep, and motor activity. Scores above a 5 are indicative of mania, or hypomania, with the severity of symptoms increasing with higher scores. Examining score changes over time is also used to determine the efficacy of a particular treatment in a clinical setting and to qualify whether the severity a manic episode is increasing or decreasing. (Adapted from Wikipedia) Scoring: * 0-5 Normal * 6-25 Probable Manic or Hypomanic Condition, Further Testing Recommended
