  1. Which standardized instrument uses a 5-point Likert scale to measure leisure satisfaction across six dimensions including psychological, educational, and social?

    Answer: Leisure Satisfaction Scale (LSS)

    The Leisure Satisfaction Scale (LSS) measures satisfaction across six subscales using a 5-point Likert response format.

  2. When administering the Functional Independence Measure (FIM), a score of 5 in a motor domain item indicates:

    Answer: Modified independence with a device

    A FIM score of 5 means the individual performs the task independently but requires an assistive device or modified technique.

  3. The Comprehensive Evaluation in Recreational Therapy – Psych/Behavioral (CERT-Psych/Behavioral) was primarily designed for use in which setting?

    Answer: Psychiatric and behavioral health

    The CERT-Psych/Behavioral scale was developed specifically to assess functioning in psychiatric and behavioral health contexts.

  4. In standardized assessment, 'criterion-referenced' means test scores are interpreted by comparing them to:

    Answer: A predetermined standard or level of performance

    Criterion-referenced assessments measure performance against a fixed standard rather than against a peer group.

  5. Which assessment tool is specifically designed to evaluate a client's leisure barriers and includes subscales for internal, interpersonal, and structural barriers?

    Answer: Barriers to Leisure Scale

    The Barriers to Leisure Scale systematically measures constraints across internal, interpersonal, and structural domains.

  6. A recreational therapist uses the same assessment tool with the same client two weeks apart and gets very different scores with no intervening treatment. This suggests a problem with:

    Answer: Reliability

    Consistency of scores over time without change in the client's condition reflects test-retest reliability, and inconsistent results indicate poor reliability.

  7. The Global Assessment of Functioning (GAF) scale ranges from 1 to 100; a score between 41–50 indicates:

    Answer: Serious symptoms such as suicidal ideation or severe obsessions

    GAF scores of 41–50 reflect serious symptoms or serious impairment in social, occupational, or school functioning.
