Use of this score report requires a complete understanding of the Job Stress Survey (JSS) and its interpretation and applications as presented in the JSS manual. This report contains raw and standardized scores from the JSS and does not provide interpretation of the scores. Users should refer to the JSS Professional Manual for procedures and guidelines for the interpretation of this score report and psychometric characteristics of the JSS.

Use of the JSS Score Report

The summary information presented in this report is based on the individuals responses to the JSS. The T scores for each of the JSS scales are standardized scores that have a mean of 50 and a standard deviation of 10. Percentiles indicate the percentage of individuals in the norm sample who fall below a given raw score. The JSS is scaled so that higher T scores and percentiles indicate greater levels of stress. The T scores and percentiles are based on the occupational group listed in the Information section and on the respondents gender. The following steps are recommended for interpreting JSS scores.
