California Psychological Inventory (Socialization Scale)
The California Psychological Inventory (Socialization Scale) measures socialization in order to predict criminal behavior and delinquency. It is a relatively well-researched and validated inventory that retains its reliability across several different populations, including both adolescents and adults. It has successfully differentiated between delinquent and non-delinquent groups in longitudinal studies, and has also been used to measure sociopathy/psychopathy. More generally, it reflects one's social maturity and personal integrity.This test consists of 53 true/false questions and takes about 10 minutes to complete. Lower scores indicate a higher risk of delinquency.
