AIM (Achievement Identification Measure) was developed to provide a measure of the characteristics that distinguish achieving students from underachievers, children who are not performing to their ability level. It is an easy-to-administer parent report inventory that is both reliable and valid. It provides results that include an overall achiever characteristics score and five dimension scores: Competition, Responsibility, Control, Achievement Communication, and Respect. Using AIM for identification permits diagnosis and treatment of underachievement while in early stages, thus preventing the more difficult failure experiences that are likely to follow.
