    The following elements are measured within Gibb's TORI Self-Diagnosis scale. Tori Self-Diagnosis Scale Trusting-Being: A person who scores high on this set of items is saying: View of Myself: "I trust myself, have a fairly well-formed sense of my own being and uniqueness, and feel good about myself as a person." View of People: "I tend to see people as trusting, and as providing a good environment for me to live and be in." A person who scores low on this set of items is saying: View of Myself: "I feel less trusting of myself, have a less well formed sense of my own being and uniqueness, and feel less well about myself as a person. View of People: "I tend to see people as un-trusting, as impersonal and in role, and as providing a somewhat threatening and defense producing environment for me and for others." Opening-Showing: A person who scores high on this set of items is saying: View of Myself: "I feel free to show myself to others, show who I am, and express my feelings and attitudes with little pretense of cover-up. " View of People: "I tend to see people as open and spontaneous and as willing to show themselves to each other." A person who scores low on this set of items is saying: View of Myself: "I feel un-free to be open, feel vulnerable and unsafe, and I think it is necessary to keep large areas of myself private and unshared." View of People: "I tend to see people as fearful, cautious, and unwilling to show feelings and opinions, particularly those feelings and opinions that are negative or non-supportive." Realizing-Becoming: A person who scores high on this set of items is saying: View of Myself: "I feel free to take risks, assert myself, do anything that I really want to do, and follow my intrinsic motivations. I have a sense of self-realization." View of People: "I tend to see people as allowing other's their freedom, and as providing an environment for me and others that nourishes our striving for intrinsic goals. People allow others to be who they are. " A person who scores low on this set of items is saying: View of myself: "I am aware of the pressure of extrinsic motivations. I feel that I must try to do what I am supposed to do and that I must attempt to meet the expectations of others." View of people: "I tend to see other people as exerting pressures on me and others to conform, to do things that we may not want to do, and to work towards goals that are not significant to me as a person." Interdepending-interbeing A person who scores high on this set of items is saying: View of myself: "I have a strong sense of belonging to the groups that are important to me, and I enjoy working with, helping, or meeting with other people." View of people: "I tend to see other people as cooperative, working effectively, and relatively well integrated into the life around them and the groups they belong to." A person who scores low on this set of items is saying: View of myself: "I do not have a strong sense of belonging to the groups of which I am a member and do not especially enjoy working with others in a team way. I have competitive, dependent, or other feelings that get in the way of my teaming with others." View of people: "I tend to see other people as not being cooperative and not working well with others. I see people in general as not easy to work with or team with and as having feelings that get in their way."
