The Grady Life Adapatability Satisfaction Scale (GLASS)

My psychology students have been helping me develop an "Adaptability" inventory this semester. They took it and gave it to over 400 people. Thanks, guys!

It is called The Grady Life Adaptablity Satisfaction Scale (GLASS), and it is now available on my web site - Grady Psyc Stuff. You can get to my web site by clicking the link in the upper right corner of my blog.

The inventory is based on the characteristics of Carl Rogers' "Fully Functioning" people, and William Menninger's "Emotionally Mature" people. Discussion of those terms is found in their writings.

I have chosen to refer to individuals who possess 12 characteristics as "Adapatable." My inventory lets you determine how satisfied you are with your level of adapatability in life, and to compare yourself with others. Are you more, or less, adaptable and satisified than most people?

You can take and score the inventory in less than 5 minutes. Everything you need is on my web site.

Want to know what someone else thinks about you? There is a second version of it that you can have them take on you, to compare your self-view with their view of you.

For the statisticians among you - norms, validity, and reliability information can be found with the inventory. It has a positive correlation co-efficient with Richard Ryan's Basic Needs Satisfaction in General inventory that measures Autonomy, Competence, and Relatedness.
