Designed for both special and general education students, this self-report inventory assesses 10 primary constructs associated with academic motivation, learning strategies, and studies—strategies shown through research to be related to academic success.

  • Seven constructs focus on student strengths and three focus on student liabilities.
  • Scores help you identify problems that interfere with academic development. An Inconsistent Responding Index is also included.
  • The Child Form is appropriate for students ages 8-12 years; the Teen Form is appropriate for students ages 13-18 years. Both forms are written at a 3rd-grade reading level.
  • The SMALSI College Form allows you to evaluate learning strategies specifically in college students.
  • Scored by hand or computer.
  • Standardized on a sample of 2,921 students that reflected U.S. population demographics.
