There are several levels of PI interpretation, ranging from viewing the Parolee Inventory as a self-report to interpreting scale elevations and scale inter-relationships.
A problem is not identified until a scale score is at the 70th percentile or higher. Elevated scale scores refer to percentile scores that are at or above the 70th percentile. Severe problems are identified by scale scores at or above the 90th percentile.
At one sitting of approximately 30 minutes duration, staff can acquire a vast amount of information, which includes information from each of the Parolee Inventory (PI) Scales: Truthfulness Scale, Violence Scale, Antisocial Scale, Self-Esteem Scale, Distress Scale, Alcohol Scale, Drug Scale, and the Stress Coping (Management) Abilities Scale.
