designed
for
use
with
Hind:
knowing
school
students
of India. The

adjusted students in the three areas of adjustment: Emotional, Social and
####### Educational.
orly
ad
A list of 100 questions indicating the sigaificant problems of school
students in the three areas were prepared. The questions wcre to be
answered in 'Yes' cr No'. This list was presented to 25 judges, all of
whom were psycholegists engaged in teaching, counselling, or vocational
guidance work, to judge each item in term of its merit for being included
in the inventory. Only such items were retaincd about wbich the judges
were unanimous. This Jed to the elimination of 12 out of 100 items.
Before undertaking the work of item analysis, the inventory was adminis
tered to a sample of 100 stuidents to remove the language difficulties, if
any,
reported by
them in urcderstanding
clearly
the
diferent items.

The list of remaining 88 items was administered on two groups of
subjects-8roup
A and
group
B. Group
A
consisted
of 100
such studeats
who were jvdged to be well-adjusted and Group B of 100 students judged
to be
poorly
adjusted by
a
group
of five
teachers who knew them
well.
Chi-square
test was
applied
to compare
the
responses
of
the two groups
in
respect
of
each item.
Fourteen out
of a
total of
88 items
which
did
not discriminate the two groups significantly were eliminated from tne
test. The 74 items that were retained were administered to a group o
370 secoodary scbool students of Patna. The distribatioasof soores for
