The three driver related tests are presented in the following order

  1. Driver Risk Inventory-II and its example report.

  2. DRI-II Short Form and its example report.

  3. Reinstatement Review Inventory-II and its example report.

These navigational links are provided so that visitors interested in one of these tests can go directly to that tests webpage.  The website flows from one test and its example report to the next test.  Some visitors will want to read through the entire webpage, whereas others will want to proceed directly to the tests that interest them. 



 
Driver Risk Inventory-II

Driver Risk Inventory-II.  The DRI-II is a DUI/DWI offender assessment instrument or test.  It was developed specifically for DUI/DWI offender assessment.  The DRI-II test booklet contains 140 items and takes 25 minutes to complete.  If a person can read the newspaper they can read the DRI-II.  The DRI-II contains six scales (measures): 1. Truthfulness Scale, 2. Alcohol Scale, 3. Drugs Scale, 4. Substance Abuse/Dependency Scale, 5. Driver Risk Scale and 6. Stress Coping Abilities Scale. 

As reported in Government Technology (Vol. 3, #5, May 1990) “NHTSA concluded the Driver Risk Inventory (DRI) was the best . . .  It (DRI) appears to be by far the most carefully constructed test.  As you know the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) is the highest federal authority in the DUI field.  And now, after years of research the DRI has been improved.  This improved test is called the DRI-II.

Click on this DRI-II Research Study link to review a DRI-II reliability and validity  research study.  You can then click on the "Back" link to return to this webpage. Many DRI-II studies have been completed by several different Ph.D.'s and scientists.  The linked study is representative of that research.

The DRI-II has impressive reliability, validity and accuracy.  Some of this research is reported in the "DRI-II: An Inventory of Scientific Findings" and other studies are reported in the   www.bdsltd.com website.  Several research studies can be available upon request.  If interested contact Behavior Data Systems, Ltd., P.O. Box 44256, Phoenix, Arizona, 85064-4256.  Telephone Number: (602) 234-3506, Fax Number: (602) 266-8227 and e-mail address bds@bdsltd.com.

The DRI-II expanding database has over one million DUI/DWI offenders in it.  And the DRI-II’s six scales measure client truthfulness when tested, alcohol abuse severity, drug abuse severity, driver risk (independent of substance abuse), and stress coping abilities while concurrently classifying offenders as "substance abusers" or "substance dependent" in accordance with DSM-IV criteria.

SIX  DRI-II  SCALES  (MEASURES)

  1. Truthfulness Scale: Measures how truthful the offender was while completing the DRI-II.  This scale identifies denial, minimization and lying.
     

  2. Alcohol Scale: Measures alcohol (beer, wine and other liquors) use and abuse.  It measures severity of alcohol abuse.
     

  3. Drugs Scale: Measures the severity of illicit drug (marijuana, crack, cocaine, amphetamines, barbiturates and heroin) use and abuse.
     

  4. Substance Abuse/Dependency Scale: Utilizes DSM-IV criteria to classify substance abuse or substance dependency in DUI/DWI offenders.
     

  5. Driver Risk Scale: Measures driver risk independent of substance (alcohol or other drugs) use or abuse.  Some people are simply poor drivers.
     

  6. Stress Coping Abilities Scale: Measures one’s ability to cope effectively with stress.  Stress exacerbates symptoms of emotional and mental health problems.

To help avoid comparing apples to oranges, the DRI-II Test Comparison Checklist sets forth important DUI/DWI offender test features.  This provides a checklist for test comparison.  To review this checklist click on the DRI-II Test Comparison Checklist link.

There are several levels of DRI-II Scale interpretation ranging from viewing the DRI-II as a self-report to interpreting scale elevations and scale inter-relationships.  Click on the "Scale Interpretation" link for an introduction to DRI-II Scale Interpretation.

Confidentiality: Behavior Data Systems encourages test users to delete DUI/DWI offender names from diskettes before they are returned to Behavior Data Systems. Once client names are deleted, they are gone and cannot be retrieved. Deleting client names does not delete demographics or test data, which is downloaded into the DRI-II database for subsequent analysis. This proprietary name deletion procedure involves a few keystrokes and insures client confidentiality and compliance with HIPAA (federal regulation 45 C.F.R. 164.501).

EXAMPLE REPORT
DRI-II EXAMPLE REPORT

The DRI-II Example Report is presented for your review. Each DRI-II report is organized around the same outline or format, yet these reports are highly individualized. Each report is 3 pages in length. And, all DRI-II reports are saved and printed within 2½ minutes on-site.

The first page of the DRI-II report begins with the DUI/DWI offender's name and some demographics, e.g., age, gender, ethnicity, education, and marital status. The first page then summarizes DRI-II scale scores, presents scale scores and sets forth the DRI-II profile with a graph. This explains the DUI/DWI offender's test performance at a glance. Self-reported driver history completes the first page of the DRI-II report.

The second page of the DRI-II report contains scale score paragraphs. Each paragraph presents that scale score, explains what each scale score means and sets forth specific scale score related recommendations. Paragraphs include the Truthfulness Scale, Dependency/Abuse Classification, Alcohol Scale, Driver Risk Scale and the Drugs Scale.

 

      
 

        NAME: Example Report             -2-                      DRI-II REPORT

 
 
        * * SUMMARY PARAGRAPHS EXPLAINING CLIENT'S ATTAINED SCALE SCORES * *
            ------------------------------------------------------------   
 
       TRUTHFULNESS SCALE: LOW RISK RANGE                   RISK PERCENTILE:26
        This is an accurate DRI-II profile and other scale scores  are  accur-
        ate. This person responded to the DRI-II test items in a nondefensive,
        cooperative and truthful manner. Denial and  distortion  are  minimal.
        This  person  has  adequate  reading  skills  and  was  truthful.  The
        Truthfulness  Scale  identifies  self-protective,   recalcitrant   and
        guarded people who minimize or even conceal self-report information. 

       DEPENDENCY/ABUSE CLASSIFICATION: Three or  more  of  the  seven  DSM-IV
        dependency  items  (or  their  equivalents)  are  not  admitted    to,
        consequently the classification of 'dependency' as defined  here  does
        not apply. Moreover, this person reports (item #84) that he or she has
        not been diagnosed 'substance dependent' in the past. One or  more  of
        the substance abuse items (or  their  equivalents)  are  admitted  to,
        which meets the criteria of 'substance abuse' as defined  here.  These
        admissions include: # 123,   6,    36.  This  client  describes  their
        drinking as a mild problem and their drug use as  a  minimum  problem.
        This person's Alcohol Scale score is elevated (at or  above  the  70th
        percentile) whereas their Drugs Scale score is not (at  or  below  the
        69th percentile) elevated. This profile is not uncommon in  the  early
        stages of substance use, or after relapse.  In  summary,  this  client
        meets the DSM-IV substance abuse classification. And within this abuse
        category their degree of risk is represented by  their  Alcohol  Scale
        score.
 
       ALCOHOL SCALE: PROBLEM RISK RANGE                    RISK PERCENTILE:81
        This person's response pattern on the Alcohol Scale is in the  Problem
        Risk (70 to 89th percentile)  range.  A  drinking  or  alcohol-related
        problem is indicated. An interview will establish if this person is  a
        "recovering" alcoholic. Recovering usually  means  the  person  has  a
        problem but is  abstaining.  If  recovering,  establish  the  recovery
        history.  Relapse  risk is high.  Consider counseling  (individual  or
        group) and/or  attendance at  Alcoholics Anonymous  (AA) meetings.  An
        alcohol-related problem is indicated.  Although this person  does  not
        meet the DSM-IV dependency criteria, their scale score indicates  that
        the person does represent a substance use risk. The severity  of  this
        client's Alcohol Scale score is an area  of  inquiry  that  should  be
        explored in interview. The severity of this  person's  score  reflects
        problematic substance use.

       DRIVER RISK SCALE: MEDIUM RISK RANGE                 RISK PERCENTILE:69
        Some indicators of driver risk are evident. There is  a  tendency  for
        this person to be aggressive, irresponsible and easily  angered  while
        driving. Even under "normal" conditions this person could be an  impa-
        tient and perhaps unsafe driver. Substance (alcohol  or  other  drugs)
        use or abuse could increase this person's "driver risk". 

       DRUGS SCALE: LOW RISK RANGE                          RISK PERCENTILE:15
        This person's response pattern on the Drugs Scale is in  the Low  Risk
        (zero to 39th percentile) range. Few, if any,  significant  indicators
        of at-risk drug use are evident. If present, drug involvement  may  be
        historical, experimental or minimal. Review other DRI-II scale  scores

 

 

The third page of the DRI-II report completes the Drugs Scale paragraph and presents the Stress Coping Abilities Scale paragraph. Significant items (direct admissions or unusual answers) are presented for the Alcohol Scale, Drugs Scale, and Driver Risk Scale. The final sequence of items (#119-140) represent multiple choice answers. Each of these items is multiple choice, and the answer selected by the DUI/DWI offender is printed on this page. These answers are the offender's self-report with all of their biases. It's interesting to compare offender answers with their empirically based scores. Space is provided for staff member's comments/recommendations and signature. The report ends with a reproduction of the DUI/DWI offender's answers to all the DRI-II items.

 

      

      
 NAME: Example Report             -3-                      DRI-II REPORT

        along with the Significant  Items  in  a  Structured  Interview.  This
        arrest is of concern. An interview will help clarify if  substance use
        is episodic or represents non-habitual abuse.

       STRESS COPING SCALE: MEDIUM RISK RANGE               RISK PERCENTILE:63
        Although generally manifesting average stress coping  abilities,  this
        person's  emotions  can  interfere  with  judgment--particularly  when
        frustrated, angered, rejected or during periods  of  substance  abuse.
        Stress does not appear to be a focal issue in  this  person's  adjust-
        ment. This score is in the Medium Risk (40 to 69th percentile) range.

       SIGNIFICANT ITEMS:  The following self-report responses represent areas
       that may help in understanding the respondent's situation and status.
 

       ALCOHOL                             DRUGS
       -------                             -----
        2. Client concerned about drinking 24. May or may not use drugs

DRI-II Short Form 

DRI-II Short Form.  The Short Form is particularly appropriate for use with DUI/DWI  offenders that are reading impaired, in high volume assessment settings and as an alternative retest.  The DRI-II Short Form has 73 items and requires 20 minutes to complete.  Reports are scored and printed on-site within 2½ minutes.  In comparison to the DRI-II, the DRI-II Short Form does not have the Stress Coping Abilities Scale because of its length.

 FIVE  DRI-II  SHORT FORM  SCALES 

  1. Truthfulness Scale: Measures offender truthfulness while completing the   test.  This scale detects denial, problem minimization and attempts to fake good.
     

  2. Alcohol Scale: Measures alcohol (beer, wine and other liquor) use and abuse.  It measures the severity of alcohol use or abuse.
     

  3. Drugs Scale: Measures the severity of illicit drugs (cocaine, marijuana, crack, amphetamines, barbiturates and heroin) use and abuse.
     

  4. Substance Abuse/Dependency Scale: Utilizes DSM-IV criteria to classify substance abuse or substance dependency.  A classification scale.
     

  5. Driver Risk Scale: Measures driver risk independent of substance (alcohol and other drugs) use or abuse.

*  *  *  *  *

The DRI-II Short Form scales correlate highly significantly with corresponding DRI-II scales.  Several levels of scale interpretation are possible.  They range from viewing the DRI-II Short Form as a self-report to interpreting scale elevation and inter-relationships.  Staff can then place DUI/DWI offenders DRI-II Short Form findings within the context of the offender’s life situation.

EXAMPLE REPORT
EXAMPLE DRI-II SHORT FORM REPORT

The DRI-II Short Form report is 3 pages in length and takes 2 minutes or less to score and print on-site. An example DRI-II Short Form report is printed below. The DRI-II Short Form incorporates 5 DRI-II scales, and the format of its report closely resembles that of the DRI-II report.

The first page of the DRI-II Short Form report begins with the DUI/DWI offender's name and some basic demographics like age, gender, ethnicity, education, etc. The DRI-II Short Form Profile presents each scale's name, its attained percentile score and a graphic presentation of these scores. This profile summarizes the offender's test performance at a glance. The first page concludes with the respondent-provided court history. It's often interesting to compare the information provided by the offender with their driving record or court history.

            ------------------------------------------------------------   

 

       TRUTHFULNESS SCALE: LOW RISK RANGE                   RISK PERCENTILE:24

        This is an accurate DRI-II profile and other scale scores  are  accur-

        ate. This person responded to the DRI-II test items in a nondefensive,

        cooperative and truthful manner. Denial and  distortion  are  minimal.

        This  person  has  adequate  reading  skills  and  was  truthful.  The

        Truthfulness  Scale  identifies  self-protective,   recalcitrant   and

        guarded people who minimize or even conceal self-report information.

 

       DEPENDENCY/ABUSE CLASSIFICATION: Three or  more  of  the  seven  DSM-IV

        dependency  items  (or  their  equivalents)  are  not  admitted    to,

        consequently the classification of 'dependency' as defined  here  does

        not apply. Moreover, this person reports (item #64) that he or she has

        not been diagnosed 'substance dependent' in the past. One or  more  of

        the substance abuse items (or  their  equivalents)  are  admitted  to,

        which meets the criteria of 'substance abuse' as defined  here.  These

        admissions include: #13. This client describes  their  drinking  as  a

        moderate problem and  their  drug  use  as  a  minimum  problem.  This

        person's Alcohol Scale  score  is  elevated  (at  or  above  the  70th

        percentile) whereas their Drugs Scale score is not (at  or  below  the

        69th percentile) elevated. This profile is not uncommon in  the  early

        stages of substance use, or after relapse.  In  summary,  this  client

        meets the DSM-IV substance abuse classification. And within this abuse

        category their degree of risk is represented by  their  Alcohol  Scale

        score.

 

       ALCOHOL SCALE: PROBLEM RISK RANGE                    RISK PERCENTILE:83

        This person's response pattern on the Alcohol Scale is in the  Problem

        Risk (70 to 89th percentile)  range.  A  drinking  or  alcohol-related

        problem is indicated. An interview will establish if this person is  a

        "recovering" alcoholic. Recovering usually  means  the  person  has  a

        problem but is  abstaining.  If  recovering,  establish  the  recovery

        history.  Relapse  risk is high.  Consider counseling  (individual  or

        group) and/or  attendance at  Alcoholics Anonymous  (AA) meetings.  An

        alcohol-related problem is indicated.  Although this person  does  not

        meet the DSM-IV dependency criteria, their scale score indicates  that

        the person does represent a substance use risk. The severity  of  this

        client's Alcohol Scale score is an area  of  inquiry  that  should  be

        explored in interview. The severity of this  person's  score  reflects

        problematic substance use.

 

       DRIVER RISK SCALE: PROBLEM RISK RANGE                RISK PERCENTILE:81

        This person presents as a driver risk  and  may  be  an  irresponsibly

        aggressive driver. This person is  likely  impatient,  quick  tempered

        and easily angered while driving. Even under "normal" conditions  this
