Antagonistic Behavior: The goal of this assessment is to identify where a person is along a continuum from being too soft, giving, and warm to aggressive, easily angered, and ultimately harassing or even prone to violent behavior. Scales that only measure potential harassment or violence (negative end) run a major risk since they are looking for overt behavior that most people do not like to admit or claim. Therefore, if you can get a feel for where a person is located along a scale from very meek to physically aggressive, you have a better sense for the likelihood of socially abusive or antagonistic behavior. Actually displaying antagonistic behavior is multi-determined but it is realistic to assume that people with higher scores are more likely to exhibit overt abusive behavior. Additionally, since claiming or admitting abusive behavior is not socially desirable, an honesty scale is included to pick up a bias where people may distort the way they really are but claim the opposite.

NOTE: The first two scales tend to show meekness, the next two show a more assertive/aggressive stance and the next two actually tap into the likelihood (or actual claiming) of abusive behavior.
