This manual is for PSY FPX 6820 Assessment 2, start to submission. Analyzing TAIS Results asks you to interpret an athlete's results on the Test of Attentional and Interpersonal Style, usually provided in the courseroom: what the TAIS measures and why it matters in sport, the athlete's attentional and interpersonal strengths and weaknesses, priorities for performance, and a recommendation, such as whether the athlete suits a role or what to work on. The grade turns on accurate interpretation linked to performance. Explaining what each score pattern means for this athlete's position scores above restating scores. Below is the method our tutors use, a structure that maps to the criteria, and an annotated sample excerpt. Prefer to hand it off? A premium original sample for this exact assessment comes back in 24 to 48 hours, revised free until it meets the guide. Capella's catalog lists the course as PSY-FPX6820, and some courserooms print PSY6820; both point to this same Assessment 2. In current courserooms this assessment typically appears as "Analyzing TAIS Results".
One honesty note before the manual: Capella revises courses and scoring guides over time, so always write to the exact scoring guide attached to your assessment in the courseroom. The course identity above is verified on capella.edu; the method and structure below are our tutors' approach to it, not Capella's official rubric text.
How PSY FPX 6820 Assessment 2 is scored
FlexPath does not use letter grades. Each criterion in the scoring guide lands on one of four levels, and the level descriptions are the real writing brief:
| Level | What it means on a TAIS analysis |
|---|---|
| Distinguished | The TAIS analysis is specific to the organization or case, applies course concepts accurately with credible sources, and ends in justified conclusions or recommendations. |
| Proficient | The TAIS analysis is accurate, but the application or recommendations are general. |
| Basic | The TAIS analysis describes concepts with little application. |
| Non-performance | A required part of the TAIS analysis is missing. |
Use the results and TAIS materials your courseroom provides.

Annotated sample excerpt
An original model excerpt from our team, written to show the register that reaches the top of the guide. Learn the moves, then write your own version.
The quarterback's high score on broad external attention fits a position that requires reading the whole field before the snap, which is a clear strength.1 His higher score on overload, the tendency to become overwhelmed by too much information under pressure, suggests he may lock onto a single receiver late in plays.2 The priority is training to narrow focus quickly after the snap, for example with pre-snap routines that set one or two reads.3
- 1Links a strength to the position.
- 2Identifies a weakness and its effect.
- 3Sets a training priority.

The five mistakes that cost Distinguished
- Definitions without application. Apply each concept to the organization or case.
- No sources. Cite credible business sources.
- Vague recommendations. Make them specific and justified.
- Restating scores. Interpret them for the sport.
