Q: What is the RTS Utility?

RTS is a utility to aid those customers who want to score data they
have collected outside of ADM. An input file of data passes through
RTS. RTS produces scores in a scored data file. RTS can also produce an
ADM Data Transfer file. The ADM Data Transfer file is used to import
raw, unscored data into ADM.

Do you have ASEBA item ratings stored in non-ADM files, such as SAS, SPSS, SYSTAT, SQL, Access, or Excel? If so, do you want to compute ASEBA scale scores from the item ratings? RTS can help you by using the item ratings to compute raw scores, percentiles, and T scores for current and legacy scales of all ASEBA forms except the SCICA and DOF. Simply export your data to a file that RTS will check for errors and then use for computing ASEBA scale scores. Choose from various output types, including files for use by the A2S utility, which prepares scores for SPSS analyses. RTS can also export your item ratings to ADM for storage and cross-informant comparisons.

What RTS is Not:

  • NOT a substitute for ADM
  • NOT an entry program ? Does NOT store data
  • Does NOT produce profiles, narratives, or cross-informant reports
  • Does NOT produce cross-informant scores
  • NOT a server-type application allowing simultaneous access (allows one user at a time)

NOTE: ADM Multi-user License cannot be used with RTS

Q: What are the functions provided by RTS?

  • Scores data from all forms except SCICA
  • Produces all scores for both current and legacy norms (but not
    cross-informant scores)
  • Scores available in file formats (several to choose from)
  • Produces files that will allow raw data to be imported into ADM

Q: Who will need RTS?

Customers who have data entered in some data entry system other than ADM

  • They want scored data only
  • They want to get their data into ADM

Customers with data from DOS programs

  • They want scored data only (If they want to get data into ADM, they should use ADM to import, not RTS)

Q: What are RTS usage requirements?

RTS requires that the input data files follow a fixed format. Customers will have to create these input files following documentation provided with the program.
