    The Jeepers Scale... skewing the results?
    by Jim Burke, Orientation & Mobility Specialist, 11/6/96

    The Jeepers Scale appears to be a valid measurement of social interaction up to a point. My concern is that by revealing the score to the client and/or by encouraging greater participation in order to increase the score; one is colouring the results. Thus skewing the readings of what one is originally trying to measure. The scale than becomes a tool for increasing social interaction, rather than a tool for measuring social interaction. This is not my area of expertise and I'm sorry if I seem critical.
