Which of the following tests is useful to detect the maladjustment ?

  • A.The Bell Adjustment inventory
  • B.Allport's test
  • C.Colman's test
  • D.Shaffer and Shoben's test

Answer: A

The test for maladjustment is The Bell Adjustment inventory.

Hugh M. Bell's Adjustment Inventory (1934) is a self-report questionnaire that gives separate scores for home, health, social and emotional adjustment (and occupational adjustment in the adult form). Unusually high scores in an area point to maladjustment there, which is why it is widely used in school guidance.

Allport's best-known instruments, the Study of Values and the A-S Reaction Study, measure values and the ascendance-submission trait rather than adjustment. Shaffer and Shoben are known for a textbook, The Psychology of Adjustment, not for an adjustment test, and 'Colman's test' is not a standard measure of maladjustment.
