Standardized on a nationwide sample of more than 3,000 people from 7 to 90 years of age, the
TSCS:2 is available in Adult and Child Forms. This downward extension allows you to use the test to
evaluate self-concept across the life span.
Each form can be group or individually administered in just 10 to 20 minutes. The Adult Form, written
at a third-grade reading level, is designed for individuals 13 years of age and older. The Child Form,
written at a second-grade level, can be used with 7- through 14-year-olds.
The first 20 items on either version serve as a Short Form, which is convenient when you need only a
quick summary of self-concept.
The TSCS:2 can be hand scored in just 10 minutes. Scoring procedures have been simplified
considerably, and the manual includes extensive interpretive guidance, as well as detailed case
studies and recommendations regarding therapeutic intervention.
The TSCS:2 can also be computer scored, via CD, Mail-In Answer Sheet, or FAX Service. The report
generated by these computer scoring options has been designed for clarity and ease of use.
