The TIA is an assessment tool designed to determine strengths and weaknesses in areas related to a basic understanding of computer, Internet, and information technology skills. Upon submission and approval of your institution number, 60 statements will be presented that relate to your knowledge of these areas.

You are to read each statement and then select a response according the following key:

<--- Click on the pull-down menu to the left to select your response.

To help you decide which responses to select, we would like to explain what is meant by each term.

  • By Not at all typical of me, we do not necessarily mean that the statement would never describe you, but that it would be true of you only in rare instances.
  • By Not very typical of me, we mean that the statement generally would not be true of you.
  • By Somewhat typical of me, we mean that the statement would be true of you about half the time.
  • By Fairly typical of me, we mean that the statement would generally be true of you.
  • By Very much typical of me, we do not necessarily mean that the statement would always describe you, but that it would be true of you almost all the time.
