Commander Inventory for Test Readiness (CITR)

Is now the right time for psychological testing? 33 statements about your goals, readiness, and timing.

The CITR helps you (or your child) explore readiness, motivation, and possible barriers to testing. It isn't a diagnostic assessment. Your responses highlight areas where testing may be helpful, and situations where it might help to wait or clarify your goals first. You'll get feedback right away.

Private by design: your answers stay in this browser window. Nothing is sent to us or saved. This screener is not a diagnosis or a substitute for an evaluation.

Instructions. Answer each statement as honestly as you can. If you are completing this for your child, answer from your child's point of view. There are no right or wrong answers.
