Products & Services advancing psychology and techonology

Licensing Licensing allows you to add high quality content to your project, be it a website, workshop or publication, without the hassle or high cost of developing it yourself. The most popular option is the use of our interactive tests as new and sticky website content. PsychTests.com creates customized pages that seamlessly integrate licensed content into your layout. With over 300 tests, quizzes and brain teasers to choose from, you are sure to find the right fit.

Co-branding Co-branding is very similar to licensing. It also includes customization of PsychTests’ content to have the “look and feel” of your website or publication. Each page displays a co-branded logo and link to PsychTests.

Research PsychTests’ tests are widely used for academic research. To satisfy the needs of researchers, we have identified three solutions for test administration and data collection. Academics may use existing online versions of our tests free of charge; purchase stand-alone software versions for offline use on a PC; or order a customized online testing center with built-in data collection.

Human Resources Tools PsychTests’ battery of career, personality health, IQ and aptitude tests are valuable tools for any company’s Human Resources department. Why develop your own assessment kit when PsychTests already has the tests you need? We can even create a password-protected database where your company can store test results, manage data from thousands of applicants, monitor progress or trends and transfer information into your own database system. If needed, we also offer our expertise in statistical analyses of collected data.

Custom Test Development Is your company looking for a test that is not presently available on PsychTests? We offer our expertise in test development to those interested in creating a custom-made assessment tool. PsychTests’ tests are designed by a team of psychologists and statisticians using the most rigorous of scientific methods and each undergoes extensive validation and reliability studies.

Why use a Test?

There are a thousand reasons and PsychTests has just as many options.

Just think of the possibilities...

Experts in organizations worldwide are using PsychTests’ assessment tools, including private practice psychologists, members of governmental agencies, universities, and HR departments. Why?

Test and help.

PsychTests’ battery of tests has served many professionals. Psychologists and clinical social workers use our tests in private practice as a starting point in therapy or for monitoring client’s progress.

Coping Skills Test - Scoring Add points according to the indices below: Questions 1, 3, 8, and 9 Give 10 points for each Almost never, 8 points for each Rarely, 6 points for each Sometimes, 4 points for each Quite often, and 2 points for each Most of the time.

Questions 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 10 Give 2 points for each Almost never, 4 points for each Rarely, 6 points for each Sometimes, 8 points for each Quite often, and 10 points for each Most of the time.

Range of score: 0 (extremely poor coping skills) to 100 (excellent coping skills)

Interpretation of scores: 0 - 50 You appear to have very underdeveloped coping skills. This doesn't mean that your are not smart or fun to be with. What it does mean is that, when dealing with stress, you are basically left defenseless.

People with a profile similar to yours tend to crack under pressure; to become anxious and depressed.

Lack of efficient coping skills may make it more likely for you to give up without a fight, to feel overwhelmed and helpless and to perceive yourself as less in control over your life. We suggest that you take the full version of this test, which can pinpoint your specific problem areas and offer custom-tailored advice.

51 - 80 You appear to have average coping skills. This means that you are not left completely defenseless when it comes to coping with stress. You don't crack under pressure but you may still become anxious, depressed or very nervous when things become difficult.

80 - 100 You appear to have excellent coping skills. This means that most of the time, you are able to deal efficiently with stressful situations. You don't crack under pressure, and find your way out from most precarious situations. You are not a victim of your environment and feel pretty much in control.
