“…Stinnett, Havey, and Oehler-Stirlnett (1994) and Anderson, Cancelli, and Kratochwill (1984) had response rates of 31 % and 36%, respectively. Additionally, the response rate is also similar to those obtained in survey research investigating assessment practices of American Psychological Association (APA) members and directors of programs (Harrison, Kaufman, Hickman, & Kaufman, 1988;22%). A second limitation of this study is that the results are based on self-report.…”

A multistate survey of 859 school psychologists who indicated prior experience conducting bilingual psycho-educational assessment found that over half had used interpreters. Seventy-seven percent of the school psychologists who reported using interpreters had received no or very little training to do so. Only 37% of the school psychologists reported that their interpreter had received formal training. In only 7% of the cases reported were both school psychologists and interpreters trained in the interpretation process.

“…Standardized testing is the expected and accepted approach for evaluating intellectual functioning in cases involving claims of mental retardation. Although the American Association on Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (AAIDD) maintains that “…limitations in adaptive behavior should be established through the use of standardized measures…” (Schalock et al, , p. 43), adaptive functioning measures do not appear to be as widely used as intelligence measures in general clinical practice (Harrison, Kaufman, Hickman, & Kaufman, ; Hutton & Dubes, ; Stinnett, Havey, & Oehler‐Stinnett, ) or in Mental Retardation evaluations for capital cases (Kan, Boccaccini, McGorty, Noland, & Lawson, ; Young, Boccaccini, Conroy, & Lawson, ). For example, Young et al () interviewed 13 Texas psychologists who had performed evaluations of mental retardation in capital cases and found that only seven (54%) reported that they would use a standardized adaptive functioning measure for pre‐trial evaluations and only four (31%) would use a standardized measure when evaluating an inmate on death row.…”

Are Self‐Report Measures of Adaptive Functioning Appropriate for those High in Psychopathic Traits?

There is ongoing debate about the methods that evaluators should use to assess the adaptive functioning of an individual in an Atkins claim, including the appropriateness of using self-report measures and extent to which adaptive functioning measures are valid for persons with a history of violent offending. This study examined whether offenders' self-report adaptive functioning scores tended to decrease as their level of psychopathic traits increased. Eighty-five male felony probationers completed the self-report version of the Adaptive Behavior Assessment System - II (ABAS-II: Harrison & Oakland, 2003), the Psychopathic Personality Inventory - Revised (PPI-R: Lilienfeld & Widows, 2005), and a brief intelligence screening measure. ABAS-II composite scores were negatively correlated with PPI-R Self-Centered Impulsivity and Coldheartedness scores, but positively correlated with Fearless Dominance scores. These relationships appeared to be due, in part, to over-reporting symptoms of impairment across measures, suggesting that scores on self-report adaptive functioning measures may be especially susceptible to feigning.

“…most commonly used for adolescent and adult assessment (Harrison, Kaufman, Hickman, & Kaufman, 1988), and "probably the best interest inventory available" (Westbrook, 1985(Westbrook, , p. 1483. Although the 1985 version of the SII has been replaced by the 1994 version (Form T317), the fact that the present study utilized the previous version does not minimize the importance of the investigation.…”

This article relates the six General Occupational Themes (GOTs) and the 23 Basic Interest Scales (BISs) yielded by the Strong Interest Inventory (SII) to age, gender, and performance on the KAIT. The sample included 936 males and females aged 16 to 65 years. MANOVAs and MANCOVAs (covarying education) were conducted, followed by univariate ANOVAs and ANCOVAs. IQ level on KAIT was significantly related to the Investigative and Realistic themes and to numerous interest scales, most notably Writing, Nature, Teaching, Mathematics, and Art. The discrepancy between fluid and crystallized intelligence on the KAIT related significantly to a few variables, but relationships were generally small in magnitude. Significant relationships with age were few; gender related significantly to most variables, consistent with previous research. These findings were interpreted in the context of previous research on the Strong, and on the integration of interests and intellect.
