IVA+Plus - Where Do I Find the IVA+Plus Manual ?

As with any psychological test or software program, we HIGHLY recommend reading the manuals thoroughly before proceeding with a test administration.  We also highly recommend administering a test on yourself or a willing participant prior to a "real" test session to familiarize any clinicians with the different stages of the IVA+Plus test.

The IVA+Plus has several manuals available to assist with the proper administration and interpretation of the IVA+Plus test.  The 2 major manuals, the Administration Manual and the Interpretation Manual, may be found by clicking on the Manuals menu located at the top of the screen from within the IVA+Plus Main Options or any report or data analysis screen.

The Administration manual covers topics related to database management, database security, proper procedures for administering the IVA+Plus among other topics.

The Interpretation Manual covers in great detail the research history of the IVA+Plus including in-depth discussions of the validity and reliability studies for IVA+Plus, along with in-depth discussions of each of the 85 IVA+Plus scales and how to use these scales in your interpretation.

Various other documents are available to facilitate the use of the IVA+Plus test.  The Interpretative FlowChart is available via any Help menu from within IVA+Plus.  The Interpretive FlowChart provides a 13 step, logic tree that may be used to facilitate the interpretation of the IVA+Plus test to arrive at a working diagnosis. 

Also available from Help are the Summary of IVA+Plus scales and abridged Interpretation documents for each data analysis scale set.  These abridge documents provide basic definitions for each scale without the statistical derivation information that is provided in the Interpretation manual.  These documents are intended to be used a quick reference guide and NOT as a substitute for reading the Interpretation Manual.
