Self-Report Tests of Personality

Self-Report Tests of Personality

Self-report inventories are objective personality assessments that use multiple-choice items or numbered scales, typically ranging from 1 (strongly disagree) to 5 (strongly agree). They are often called Likert scales after Rensis Likert. These inventories are widely used due to their ease of administration and cost-effectiveness. One of the most prominent examples is the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI), initially developed in the 1940s to assess abnormal personality traits.

Background:

Screening tests are essential for assessing communication and speech-language abilities.
Accurate evaluation, screening, diagnosis, and treatment of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) rely on effective tools.

Purpose of the Study:

To conduct a comprehensive review of existing autism screening tools.
To analyze subtests, administration, scoring, and clinical/research applications of these tools for children and adults.
To identify trends and preferences in autism screening tool usage.

Main Methods:

Systematic electronic literature search of PubMed, Scopus, Medline, SID, and Magiran databases (2000-2021).
Evaluation of 19 autism screening tests based on publication year, duration, age range, assessment method, subtests, and psychometric properties.
Detailed review of selected screening instruments.

Main Results:

The Autism Spectrum Quotient (AQ) demonstrated the shortest administration time.
The Gilliam Autism Rating Scale (GARS) exhibited the longest administration time.
The Autism Screening Instrument for Educational Planning (ASIEP) was the only test with variable duration; the Childhood Autism Rating Scale (CARS-2) is highly validated.

Conclusions:

Autism screening is complex, with a growing preference for tools with specialized subtests or rapid administration.
The selection of screening tools is influenced by factors like efficiency and validation status.
Timely autism screening is critical, particularly in public health emergencies like the COVID-19 pandemic.
