Fourteen items from the Short Form ATMI were analyzed. When these items were examined using higher-order analysis, the results revealed an additional six items could be removed without negatively impacting reliability. Removing those six items further reduced the short form inventory to nine items, one item under the targeted goal of ten. Given its potential for a short administration time, schools can administer this inventory test throughout the school year to measure changes in attitudes over time.
