Coaching Tools: TAIS ® (The Attentional and Interpersonal Style inventory) Certification Program

Psychologist Bob Nideffer observed that the quality of attention mattered most in the performance of athletes. The more he studied attention, it became apparent that attention has several channels and the capacity to appropriately use the right channel at the right time makes the difference.

Nideffer explored attention in terms of external/internal and broad/narrow. He found that external scanning is quite different from external focus. As his work continued, he found the role of various interpersonal qualities such as expressiveness of ideas or anger influenced attentional qualities. Further he discovered the role of distractions in limiting performance. His model is as follows:

TAIS

Dr. Nideffer developed the TAIS ® instrument , a 144 item self-report inventory that measures twenty different concentration skills, personal and interpersonal attributes.

The TAIS ® is a rich report that is complete with attention, distraction, and interpersonal related results.

Without going into the details of the names of each of the scales, note the results show how an individual compares to a "standard" population in terms of percentiles and a specific norm group (the gray bar).

An example of a profile of the instrument is as follows:

Comprehensive in data presentation, the recipient of the TAIS ® report and profile will know what specific areas to address to aid development and enhance performance.

For a copy of the report, please contact us at info@qualifying.org

TAIS ® is an excellent instrument to use in coaching and leadership development.

For individuals to become qualified to purchase the TAIS ®, you are asked to complete our web modules on instrument construction, theory, and interpretation. You will then work one-on-one with a trainer to complete the qualifying program.
