Assessment
name: Theistic Intellectual
Humility Scale
Scale
overview: The Theistic
Intellectual Humility Scale (TIHS) is an 11-item self-report rating scale of
intellectual humility in relationship to God.
Authors: Peter Hill and others (2021)
Response Type: Items are rated on a 6-point scale of agreement from strongly disagree to strongly agree.
Scale
items
There are
11 items associated with three factors:
1. Intellectual submission to the Divine
2. Human Finite Limitations
3. Belief Bias and Limitations
Although
the scale is labeled theistic and the factor 1 refers to “the Divine”, the
items refer to God or the Bible. Item 11 includes the phrase “Christian
beliefs.”
Psychometric
properties
The first
sample included 353 Christians who were mostly Protestant. The second sample
included 318 Christians—some of them were from a Christian university. And the
third sample included 235 Christians.
The results
of factor analyses supported the three factors. Also, the research team
reported the results of convergent and discriminant validity. In study 3, Alpha
= .83.
The
relationship between the THIS and other measures is available in the research
article (Hill et al, 2021). Following are examples of relationships considered
at least moderate ( r > ).49):
Religious Commitment Inventory 0.65
Flourishing Scale 0.55
Other
correlations were statistically significant and available in the research
article.
