The T-JTA is a brief psychological assessment that measures key personality traits which influence personal, interpersonal, scholastic, and vocational functioning and adjustment. It serves as both a diagnostic measure and in-session counseling tool. The brief 180-question test can be administered in 30 minutes or less to individuals, couples or groups. The T-JTA is applicable for use with adolescents through senior adults.

The T-JTA measures 9 personality traits and their opposites:

• Nervous ↔ Composed
• Subjective ↔ Objective
• Expressive-Responsive ↔ Inhibited
• Depressive ↔ Light-Hearted
• Dominant ↔ Submissive
• Sympathetic ↔ Indifferent
• Active-Social ↔ Quiet
• Hostile ↔ Tolerant
• Self-disciplined ↔ Impulsive

The T-JTA will allow you to work more efficiently and effectively with your clients. You will quickly discover their strengths and understand their needs for more successful interventions. While being a useful diagnostic measure, the T-JTA Profile is simultaneously helpful to clients as an in-session diagram that is easy to understand. The T-JTA acts as a springboard, launching productive conversations and bringing to light issues that your clients may not be aware of or able to articulate. For couples, the T-JTA helps partners to better understand each other and improve their relationship skills, allowing current problems to be addressed and future conflicts prevented.

The T-JTA is commonly utilized in premarital, marital and family counseling due to its unique "Criss-Cross" testing feature, which graphically illustrates how people within a relationship view themselves and one another. The T-JTA is equally well-suited for individual assessment within a variety of counseling applications.

Your client will receive an email invitation to take the T-JTA, and once their test is submitted, results are immediately generated and sent to your online account for download in PDF format. Handwritten answers can also be transcribed online using the numerical keypad for quick and accurate scoring.

The T-JTA is a scientifically-based psychological assessment with high levels of validity, reliability, stability and consistency. Backed by over 50 years of normative data, the T-JTA is frequently restandardized and updated through continuing research. The T-JTA is highly correlated with the MMPI and 16-PF, two of the most widely used and respected psychological tests.
