Assessment Instruments

The full battery of validated psychological and cognitive measures available on the ImplicitifyAI platform, organized by measurement approach and domain.

Explicit Self-Report Measures

Validated psychometric instruments measuring conscious trait patterns through structured questionnaires.

Five-Factor Model (FFM)

Openness, Conscientiousness, Extraversion, Agreeableness, Neuroticism. NEO-PI-R equivalent with 30 facet scales across the Big Five domains.

IPIP-IPC

Inventory of Interpersonal Problems — Interpersonal Circumplex. Maps interpersonal difficulties along the agency and communion axes.

ECR-SF

Experiences in Close Relationships — Short Form. Adult attachment along anxiety and avoidance dimensions.

DSQ-88 / DSQ-40

Defense Style Questionnaire. Self-report of defensive organization across mature, neurotic, and immature defense clusters.

IPDE-SQ

WHO Personality Disorder Screen. 77 true/false items screening all 10 DSM-IV personality disorder categories.

PHQ-9 / GAD-7

Gold-standard brief screeners for depressive and anxiety symptom severity. Widely validated across clinical and research settings.

Implicit & Performance-Based Measures

Techniques revealing unconscious motives, defenses, and relational patterns not accessible through self-report.

Picture Story Exercise (PSE)

Story-based implicit motive assessment using integrative PSE scoring for Achievement, Power, and Affiliation motives. McClelland’s tradition.

CCRT

Core Conflictual Relationship Theme method. Luborsky’s transference paradigm: wish, response of other, response of self coded from narratives.

AIMS

Autobiographical Interview Memory Specificity. Schema-congruent vs. neutral cues measure retrieval specificity — a probe of personality organization.

SCT

Washington University Sentence Completion Test. Gold-standard measure of ego development — Loevinger’s master trait.

Cognitive Measures

Objective measures of cognitive capacities: processing speed, working memory, fluid reasoning, and performance validity.

Lexical Decision Task (LDT)

Word recognition speed and semantic priming effects. A validated index of semantic memory access speed and automatic lexical processing.

Color Stroop

Response inhibition and selective attention. Name ink colors while ignoring conflicting words — a high-resolution index of inhibitory control.

SCDT

Scene Change Detection Task. Visual working memory capacity and susceptibility to change blindness — 20 trials, 4-object arrays.

MaCA

Manhattan Cognitive Assessment. Eight subtests spanning fluid reasoning, visuospatial processing, memory, executive function, and crystallized knowledge — with embedded performance-validity check.

Schema-Based & Emotion-Based Paradigms

Within-person scoring paradigms — no external norms needed. Each participant serves as their own control.

Emotional Stroop

Attentional bias for emotional content: color-naming interference from negative, neutral, and positive words indexes emotional preoccupation.

Schema Stroop

Personality schema interference: select a Millon schema and measure attentional capture by schema-congruent words.

Valence LDT

Valence-based lexical decision: word recognition speed across negative, neutral, and positive content indexes affective priming.
