EXAMPLE DVI-JUVENILE REPORTThe DVI-Juvenile report is presented below for your review. It consists of three pages. Each page will be briefly discussed below prior to the presentation of an example DVI-Juvenile report. Within 2˝ minutes of test data entry, automated (computer-scored) reports are printed on-site. These reports summarize a lot of information in an easily understood format. For example, reports include a DVI-Juvenile Profile (graph), which summarizes scale scores at a glance. Also included are attained scale scores, an explanation of what each score means and specific score-related recommendations. In addition, "significant items" (direct admissions) are highlighted, and answers to a built-in interview (last sequence of items) are presented. Emphasis is placed on having meaningful reports that are helpful and easily understood. The first page of this report begins with the juvenile’s name and some demographics. The DVI-Juvenile profile summarizes scale scores by name, score and graphically. Next, comes the court-related information provided by the juvenile. The first page ends with a reproduction of all the juvenile’s answers to the DVI-Juvenile test.

These DVI-Juvenile answers also provide easy reference to juvenile answers in the future. ![]() The second page of the DVI-Juvenile report consists of scale summary paragraphs for the Truthfulness Scale, Alcohol Scale, Control Scale, Drugs Scale and the Violence (Lethality) Scale.
