Psychometric Evaluation of the "Discover Yourself" Assessment Battery: A Pilot Study

Dr. B. Pradeep Kumar Anand, Pattapusetti Srinivasa Rao

Abstract: This pilot study evaluated the psychometric properties of the Discover Yourself Assessment Battery, a multi-domain mental health and behavioral screening tool. The study examined internal consistency, item-total correlations, and preliminary validity across 20+ short-form scales covering mental health, psychosocial, occupational, and behavioral constructs. A convenience sample of 79 participants completed the assessment battery. Statistical analyses included Cronbach?s alpha, Kuder?Richardson 20 (KR-20) for binary scales, and Corrected Item?Total Correlation (CITC). Results demonstrated acceptable-to-excellent reliability across most scales, supporting its utility for wellness screening, early risk detection, and behavioral insights in both clinical and organizational settings. Recommendations for further large-scale validation are discussed.
