To help you become familiar with the new platform, a getting started guide will be provided the TAP welcome email. Our team will also be available to help answer any questions you may have.
The MSCEIT® assessment is available in English and French on TAP.
If you would like to administer the assessment in another language, please note that MHS offers the following languages via paper administration: Finnish, German, Korean, and Spanish. If you would like to administer the assessment in one of these languages, you can administer it via paper and use TAP to score participants’ responses and generate reports.
Reports are only available in English.
