The graph below interprets your responses to the LASSI. The numbers on the left-hand side of the chart show percentile ranks. You can use these percentile ranks to compare your scores to other individuals’ scores. For example, if you scored in the 80th percentile in Attitude (ATT), you scored higher than 80 percent of other individuals answering the same questions.
| 75 - 99 | If you scored above the 75th percentile on any of the ten LASSI scales, you probably do not have to give a high priority to improving your strategies in those areas. |
|---|---|
| 50 - 75 | If you scored between the 75th and the 50th percentiles on any of the ten scales, you should consider improving your strategies for those scales. |
| 1 - 50 | If you scored below the 50th percentile on any of the ten scales, you need to improve your skills to avoid serious problems succeeding in college. |
Your ANX score indicates that anxiety is likely to interfere with your academic success. In other words, you seem to worry about school performance to a degree that directs your attention away from academic tasks. You can overcome this difficulty by learning techniques for coping with anxiety and, with practice, developing skills for lowering it.
Your ATT score indicates that you have real doubts about the value of a college education. These doubts put you at a disadvantage when competing with other students. You may not have a strong desire to get your work done and succeed in college. There are activities and discussions that will help you develop a better understanding of how college relates to your life. Seek these opportunities and find an agreeable path to your future.
Your CON score indicates some prolonged breaks in your attention to academic tasks. That tendency seriously hinders your acquisition of knowledge and needs to be addressed. To solve this problem, you need help in learning monitoring skills that will promptly alert you when concentration wanes. That awareness, with practice, will improve your ability to concentrate.
Your INP score indicates some weakness in applying what you already know to what you are trying to learn. You are likely to have difficulty acquiring new information and/or remembering it. To strengthen this weakness, you are urged to seek help in skills such as imagery that will build bridges between your past and the present. You will find it easier to retain new material when you incorporate it with what you already know.
Your MOT score indicates that you are normally not highly energized when engaged with academic tasks. As a consequence, you may do “enough to get by” without making diligent efforts to excel. It is a risky approach that threatens your college success in two ways. First, you might miscalculate and fail. Second, those who observe you will form negative opinions about your behavior. You are urged to accept more personal responsibility for your actions by setting reasonably high goals and exerting the effort necessary to achieve them.
Your SMI score indicates that you have difficulties identifying important information when you are reading or listening. If you can learn to separate key points from supporting details, learning the material will be much easier. There are many people you can approach for help and you are urged to seek such assistance.
Your SFT score indicates that you may not always practice this technique. An essential part of learning is a consistent review of material; this is normally accomplished by answering questions that monitor your grasp of what has been learned or not learned. Gaps in your knowledge are discovered by self-testing. Results guide your study to fill those gaps.
Your TST score indicates a need for improving the process used to prepare for a test. Adequately learning the material is one aspect for improvement, but knowing the type of test that will be given is another. In either situation, your test results will improve if you seek assistance from someone that can analyze your test preparation and suggest ways to improve it.
Your TMT score indicates that you are properly planning your time to meet your academic tasks while enjoying social contacts. Apparently, you do not procrastinate and you handle other responsibilities without disrupting your studies. A written schedule each week that details all academic responsibilities and assigns times to reasonably complete them may make your time management efforts easier.
Your UAR score indicates that you may not be taking advantage of people and programs that are available to assist in your academic success. Perhaps you are unaware of their existence. Maybe you are reluctant to seek help. Hopefully, some past experience has not led you to reject those services. Whatever the reason, you are urged to increase your use of such services and make contacts that may prove to be of great value when you encounter academic difficulties.
