   The SL-TDI Software is the latest addition to our suite of user friendly applications. The SL-TDI Software allows your client to take the SL-TDI interactively on a computer and within seconds of finishing, have his or her results. It eliminates hand scoring and can give two different Reports-—the Basic Report and the Full Report. Both reports present information about the client's personality functioning in a compact, easy to understand format using both graphic images and narrative text. The language is nonjudgmental. It simply describes how the particular individual's personality operates. No one is portrayed as good or bad, better or worse. The purpose of developing this specific kind of report is to provide a portrayal of personality processes that can be studied through time and, if further development is sought, can provide the baseline for enhancing and strengthening personality functioning.

THE BASIC REPORT
The Basic Report cover page has the client's name in the upper right corner, a graphical image of the SL-TDI Type Modes and a statement describing the purposes of the report. The next page describes the design characteristics of the inventory. The third page presents the client's SL-TDI results in a numerical format based on raw scores obtained on each of the eight individual Type Mode™ scales and the four aggregate scales of Introverting, Extraverting, Perceiving and Judging. The Type Mode scales are arranged to show how much each of the four relevant Type Modes contributes to Perceiving and how much each of the other four scales contribute to Judging Page four contains a graphical representation of SL-TDI results. These scores and the corresponding graph, which shows how the individual's psychological energy flows into each Type Mode, are based on percent scores and can, therefore, be used to compare the visual shape of one individual's results with another person's. In addition, the Type Mode Profile™ is presented on the lower part of the page. The Type Mode Profile shows the rank order of the eight Type Modes. The most influential Type Mode appears at the top and the least influential appears at the bottom. A very brief definition of each Type Mode is included in the Type Mode Profile. The last page of the report provides a one paragraph definition of each of the eight Type Modes. The software user has the choice of printing the last page of the Report in language that is designed for general usage, for use in organizations, for use in medical environments or for an academic environment.

  
 THE FULL REPORT
The SL-TDI Full Report is 32 pages long. The cover shows the individual's name in the upper right, the the Type Mode graphic and describes the more complex purposes of the Full Report. The next page gives a roadmap to the five parts of the Full Report. The next page presents the core features of the SL-TDI so that the user can understand how the inventory works and how it generates information. The next page begins Part I and is exactly the same as the Basic Report—a page that is a numerical representation of SL-TDI results and a page that is a graphical representation and has the Type Mode Profile. Part II addresses Introverting and Extraverting. It starts with a section on introverting, describes what is involved in introverted perceiving and introverted judging and portrays the individuals scores with comments about strengths and limitations. Extraverting is treated similarly in the next section. At the end of the section there is a comparison of how much overall introverting and extraverting the individual does and commentary about implications. Part III of the report, which addresses Perceiving and Judging, is structured the same way as Part II. Part IV focuses on the individual's Type Mode Profile and discusses the relative role of each Type Mode depending on its position in the overall rank order of influence. The four levels of influence portrayed in this part of the report are Dominant, Auxiliary, Mid-Mode and Least Used. Part V has the individual use the paragraph long definitions of the eight Type Modes to build an individually crafted personality description. References and suggested readings appear on the last page.

Hardware & Software Requirements

   The software offers two ways your client's responses to the SL-TDI can be entered in the program and can provide two different reports. A special charging structure is built into the software. It is based on usage units. As the software is used, a specific number of units is charged against the existing pool of usage units. The units charged vary according to how the SL-TDI data is input to the software. The cost of units declines with the quantity of units purchased.

USAGE UNITS
DATA INPUT	Basic Report	Full Report
Interactively on computer	6	20
Data entry from recording form	3	17

Unit Costs
The software requires a units package to draw upon when reports are generated. These may be purchased electronically through the software or by calling the Moving Boundaries toll free number, 1-888-661-4433.

Units Package	Per Unit Cost
250	$0.75
500	$0.67
1000	$0.60
2000	$0.54

 

There are two ways to input data to the software: (A) by doing the SL-TDI
interactively on the computer of the licensed user; (B) by having a client record item responses on the SL-TDI Response Form and then key-in the
responses on a special screen in the software. Option (B) requires the
following materials.
