The Anxiety Scale (ANX) measures the degree
of confidence or anxiety someone experiences about performing well
in learning situations. It is reverse-scored so the higher a score,
the lower the reported anxiety.
Do participants worry so much about learning new
things that it is difficult for them to pay attention and learn
what they will need to know?
Are they easily discouraged about being able to
use the new information or skills in a work setting?
The Attitude Scale (ATT) measures general
attitudes toward training and the degree to which it is valued.
How important is professional and personal development
to the participant?

The Identifying Important Information Scale
(III) measures how well participants select important information
from training to learn and transfer to the work setting.
Do participants identify the important material

The Knowledge Acquisition Strategies Scale

manner that will facilitate their retention and later use in the work
setting.
Do participants try to find relationships between
what they already know and what they are learning during training?
Do participants think about how they will use what
