Wellness Inventory of Student Effectiveness (WISE)
W.I.S.E. Self-Assessments - Software
This involves the use of a psychological assessment tool and software that generates baseline and progress measures, sort of like taking before and after pictures. The Wellness Inventory of Student Effectiveness enables self-assessments in 18 areas, some of which are related to psychosocial conditions, some related to individual differences in coping behavior and personality traits. All 18 areas are related to success in college and in life and represent concepts typically covered in introductory psychology classes.
Freely available for research and college use.
