Complete your TAIS
The Attentional & Interpersonal Style (TAIS) Inventory measures how individuals concentrate and behave. It is an inventory of style, not ability or intelligence. There are no right or wrong answers.
The TAIS Inventory consists of 144 items. Please allow approximately 45 minutes of uninterrupted time to complete the assessment. You will not be timed, so please take whatever time you need.
Each TAIS Item describes a thought, behavior or a general statement. One of five responses to each item will be presented:
Never | Rarely | Sometimes | Frequently | Always
Please select the response that best describes you.
As you respond to each item, the next one will automatically appear. If you are unsure of your response to an earlier item, a Previous button is provided for you to navigate back.
Please be advised: DO NOT USE YOUR BROWSER’S “BACK” OR OTHER HISTORY BUTTONS.
There is no “pause and resume” feature. Occasional slight pauses may occur, due primarily to variations in network activity and connectivity.
