The HIT questionnaire is sold in sets of 20 and is accompanied by the How I Think (HIT) Questionnaire Manual by Dr. Alvaro Q. Barriga, Dr. John C. Gibbs, Granville Bud Potter, and Dr. Albert K. Liau. This 44-page manual contains instructions for administration, scoring, norm-referenced interpretation, and research and clinical applications. It also describes the questionnaire's theoretical rationale, development, and strong reliability and validity.
