Anyone or organization having any interest in possible utilization of the PSSPQ is invited to contact Dr. Stone. There is no other instrument or prediction paradigm available in the marketplace that was designed to accomplish what is done using the PSSPQ.  The PSSPQ is available for use, at this point in time, only in a ‘paper & pencil’ format. Scoring of PSSPQ responses is limited, for proprietary reasons, by Dr. Stone’s office. Various arrangements for use of the PSSPQ can be explored with Dr. Stone.  A separate web-subpage, http://www.home.earthlink.net/~lastone2/individualsales.html, has been developed especially for individuals, who would be interested in 'taking' the PSSPQ, so as to learn their chances for success/failure were they to be processed by the U.S. Government for high-level security clearance.   Individuals/organizations having interest in the PSSPQ are strongly advised to also check Dr. Stone's listing of published journal articles and papers read (at behavioral science organization meetings), especially in the late 1980s and 1990s, in the Publications section of this Web Site.  A large number of his published articles and presented papers are highly focused upon the psychology of traitorous behavior.  Any organization's human resources or security offices that might be interested in possible use of the PSSPQ should read the discussion presentation that can be found at:
http://www.home.earthlink.net/~lastone2/hrandsecdirectors.html.

     Another new psychological test, developed by Dr. Stone, which bears some similarity to the PSSPQ, is the Probity/Honesty Inventory (PHI).  More information can be found regarding the PHI at:
http://www.home.earthlink.net/~lastone2/trustworthinesstests.html, as well as:
http://www.home.earthlink.net/~lastone2/phitest.html.

    For anyone truly interested in the subject material presented in this PSSPQ Web Page section, the reader is strongly encouraged to also take a look at the listed additional following Web Page sections' addresses, which also describe important aspects and matters associated with use of the PSSPQ.  There may be some duplication, but not necessarily so, between the below given links and some of the links given in some of the above paragraphs.

http://www.home.earthlink.net/~lastone2/moneybackguarantee.html
(Very recently, a money-back-guarantee fee arrangment was created by Dr. Stone for the PSSPQ.  The less-complicated and lower fee arrangment that was originally set for 'taking' the PSSPQ still stands but no money- back-guarantee is involved with this traditional fee amount.

http://www.home.earthlink.net/~lastone2/hrandsecdirectors.html

(Describes the technical psychometric reliability and validity information that pertain to the PSSPQ)

http://www.home.earthlink.net/~lastone2/securityclearancewaiting.html (Being administered the PSSPQ and learning its results can be expected to be a very smart job-hunting decision that can easily lead to increased chances for job-obtaining success.  To decide to 'take' the PSSPQ can prove to be a very wise decision indeed!)

http://www.home.earthlink.net/~lastone2/britishcommonwealth.html
(Describes that the PSSPQ logically, and based upon empirical data
results, can accurately predict success/failure for being granted
high-level security clearance status by some of the more major
British Commonwealth countries)

http://www.home.earthlink.net/~lastone2/natocountries.html
(Describes that the PSSPQ logically, and based upon some limited
empirical data results, can accurately predict success/failure for being
granted high-level security clearance status by some of the more major
NATO Countries)

http://www.home.earthlink.net/~lastone2/governmentdisliketest.html
(This presentation describes the very interesting history of the
development of the PSSPQ, especially involving the description of how various U.S. Government agencies [including some military services],
back in the late 1980s, attempted to sabotage or stop any further
development of this testing instrument.  Dr. Stone was issued 'cease
and desist' instructions by his then employing intelligence agency
regarding any further development of his PSSPQ.)

http://www.home.earthlink.net/~lastone2/psspqprice.html
(This section details how use of the PSSPQ can result in great financial savings; on the order of spending $1.00 in order to save $200.00.  Use of the PSSPQ can results in making an investment that can pay off at better than a 200 to one ratio.  Such payoff ratios are seldom encountered.)

http://www.home.earthlink.net/~lastone2/psspqcertificate.html
{This set of pages details Dr. Stone's recent decision to 'award' an
attractive certificate that communicates that it's recipient 'passed' the
PSSPQ at a 'high level' and that this implies that the recipient can be
expected to be highly successful regarding the granting of high-level
security clearance status.}

http://www.home.earthlink.net/~lastone2/psspqcomparison.html
{This section describes in detail how the PSSPQ is exclusively the only actually available source of predictive information regarding possible
success/failure to be granted high-level security clearance status.} 

http://www.home.earthlink.net/~lastone2/psspqhelpsgetclearance.html
{This set of web site pages is devoted to description of advantages of
becoming knowledgeable regarding whether oneself will be successful
or not in eventually being granted high-level security clearance status.}

http://www.home.earthlink.net/~lastone2/adjudicationreliability.html
{These few pages describe a sound mathematically-based, psychometric argument that the governmental officials' adjudication decision process, upon which their decisions of approval or denial regarding the granting of high-level security clearance status most likely is not an overly reliable evaluation process.  This implies that the government officials, who make these kinds of adjudication decisions, most likely, make a goodly number of mistaken or error-prone decisions and that some individuals, who have been "turned down" for being granted security clearance status,, may have some real foundations upon which to base legally made appeals of suspected 
government's decisions.)

http://www.home.earthlink.net/~lastone2/clearanceappeal.html
{If one has just been informed that he/she has been DENIED being granted a needed security clearance, it might be a wise idea to initiate an appeal of the government's decision.  These pages describe how the PSSPQ might prove to be of some assistance in the event that one may be thinking of filing such an appeal.}

http://www.home.earthlink.net/~lastone2/careercounseling.html
{These pages were especially written to be of potential interest to 
career/vocational counselors.  It issuggested that, in addition to interest, aptitude, skills testing to ascertain whether an individual being counseled stands any chance of success if evaluated for future security clearance status granting.  It is pointed out that the PSSPQ has already proved to be of some assistance in such coounseling situations.}

http://www.home.earthlink..net/~lastone2/careergamble.html
{These pages are focused upon the idea that being denied security
clearance status can, for several reasons, represent a career or vocational disaster.  It is pointed out that use of the PSSPQ, which has been shown to  haveat least a 95% prediction accurate ability,, can potentially "save one" from experiencing such a career/vocational disaster.}

http-//www.home.earthlink.net/~lastone2/psspqforfuturestatus.html
{It has been discovered that several USA citizens have used results from the PSSPQ to predict how they, at some time in the future [i.e., five years or so], would most likely be viewed by government security clearance adjudicators regarding the matter of approval/denial regarding security clearance status for the involved individuals.  This PSSPQ type of utilization can be appropriate when the involved individuals are 'of the mind' that at the present time they most likely would be denied being granted a security clearance, and are wondering if they changed their ways, in the coming years, could they then be possibly viewed by governmental adjudicators in a more positive fashion.}

http://www.home.earthlink.net/~lastone2/clearanceprocessingdanger.html (This presenation, giving a number of very specific examples and instances,  describes the very potent dangers and pitfalls that someone being processed and evaluated for being potentially granted high-level security status, should be aware prior to the start of any such processing/evaluation.  It is suggested that it would be wise for anyone contemplating making application for any employment that 
requires one tobe processed for a requied security clearance to be first
administered the PSSPQ; the result being that the involved individual would then have some basis for believing that a security clearance investigation would produce positive results, i.e., a governmental decision would be that a clearance  should be granted.

http://www.home.earthlink.net/~lastone2/tnt.html
(For those readers who are wondering or questioning whether they personally or situationally are in a position whereby they could likely benefit from being administered the PSSPQ, which is a rather new 'test' that has been developed, the Testing Need Test (TNT).  The TNT is a 10-item, True/False type test that can provide information as to whether an individual would be likely or not to benefit from
information arising from their 'taking' the PSSPQ.  The TNT is presented in this sub-web site along with scoring instructions and score interpretation standards.

If you have read the entire above presentation or have simply scrolled down to the closing portion of this web page, you most certainly have determined that the background music has changed from "The Third Man Theme" to that which identifies the early (and clearly the best) James Bond films.  If you take a look at the immediately above presented image, you will clearly see that a goodly portion of it also resembes the PSSPQ symbol/icon whose original selection as an icon was accomplished several years ago.  The above image can be regarded as the defining image for those early James Bond movies.  Dr. Stone, obviously, was very fond of those movies.

Further information regarding the PSSPQ can be requested and obtained from the instrument's developer.  Dr. LeRoy A. Stone's Email address is:  lastone2@earthlink.net
