The Taylor-Johnson Temperament Analysis (T-JTA) evaluates interpersonal relationships in premarital, marital, family or vocational suitability counseling settings. This widely used personality assessment has options for both individual testing, and "Criss-Cross" testing, a feature that allows one individual to give their perception of the other person.
The T-JTA is a widely used, quick and convenient personality assessment especially designed for use in premarital, marital and family counseling. This brief, 180 item test takes approximately 30 minutes to complete and can be administered to individuals, couples, or groups. Two different forms of the test are available. The Regular Edition is written at an eighth grade reading level while the Secondary Edition is appropriate for junior and senior high school students and others who have at least a fifth grade reading level. Only the Regular Edition can be used for "Criss-Cross" testing.
The T-JTA manual and several research studies provide strong support for the reliability and validity of this carefully constructed assessment.
The T-JTA is hand scored in 5-10 minutes using a set of templates and a special Percentile and Sten-Locator Ruler for hand scoring ease and accuracy. Three types of profile sheets are available: Shaded Profiles (with zone designations) are used to plot percentile scores and include the clinical designations: Excellent, Acceptable, Improvement Desirable, and Improvement Needed. These are the standard profiles. Shaded Profiles (without designations) contain four shaded zones without printed designations of their clinical meaning. These profiles may be used when presenting results to clients without supplying labels. Sten Profiles are used for plotting sten scores. These profiles contain no shaded areas. The profiles are designed to present either individual or "Criss-Crossed" results.
