How the Scales are Structured

example score

8/14

Present Orientation (PO)

Measures how strongly a person tends to focus attention and value on the current moment rather than the past or future.

Low present focus

Balanced present focus

High present focus

2 – 7: Low present focus | 8 – 10: Balanced present focus | 11 – 14: High present focus

A score of 8 suggests a generally balanced orientation to the present, with attention split between current experience and thoughts about past or future.

example score

15/21

Self-Organization (SO)

Measures how consistently a person uses external tools (e.g., planners and diaries) to structure tasks and manage time.

Low

Moderate

High

3 – 5: Low | 6 – 15: Moderate | 16 – 21: High

A score of 15 falls in the Moderate range, suggesting generally adequate use of planning tools with some room to strengthen consistency and prioritization.

example score

32/35

Fixation (F)

Measures rigidity in planning and the tendency to adhere closely to a pre-set schedule and structure over time.

Flexible planning

Balanced structure

Strong fixation

5 – 14: Flexible planning | 15 – 24: Balanced structure | 25 – 35: Strong fixation

A score of 32 falls in the Strong fixation range, suggesting a pronounced preference for sticking to pre-planned schedules and structured routines.

example score

21/35

Perseverance (P)

Measures willpower and follow-through in completing tasks and maintaining organized activity despite obstacles.

Low persistence

Moderate persistence

High persistence

5 – 14: Low persistence | 15 – 25: Moderate persistence | 26 – 35: High persistence

A score of 21 indicates moderate persistence—typically able to keep working toward completion, though sustained follow-through may vary under higher difficulty or competing demands.

example score

28/42

Goal Orientation (GO)

Measures how strongly a person can focus on goals and persist in achieving them through planning and prioritization.

Low

Moderate

High

6 – 27: Low | 28 – 37: Moderate | 38 – 42: High

14/28

Planfulness (P)

Measures how consistently a person applies structured principles in day-to-day tactical planning and task follow-through.

Low consistency

Moderate consistency

High consistency

4 – 13: Low consistency | 14 – 23: Moderate consistency | 24 – 28: High consistency

A score of 14 suggests a moderate level of consistency, indicating some structured daily planning is used but not yet applied steadily across tasks.

example score

70/175

Overall Self-Organization Index (OSOI)

Measures how effectively a person structures activities by balancing planning, prioritization, and flexibility in response to changing conditions.

Low

Moderate

High

25 – 93: Low | 94 – 124: Moderate | 125 – 175: High

A score of 70 falls in the Low range, suggesting that planning and time/resource organization may be less consistent and may benefit from clearer routines and prioritization.

WHAT THE TEST MEASURES

About This Assessment

Activity Self-Organization Questionnaire, ASOQ Test

Self-Organization of Activity Questionnaire Test - Symptoms and Signs

persistence organization self-regulation determination

This brief self-report measure is designed to screen how an individual structures tasks and time in day-to-day work and goal pursuit. The Self-Organization of Activity Questionnaire provides a general index of perceived organization behaviors relevant to planning and prioritization.

The measure consists of 25 items and typically requires about 5 minutes to complete. Respondents rate statements about their usual approach to organizing activities, which may inform discussions about functional routines and self-management strategies. Authors: Feather, N.; Bond, M.; Carver, C. S.

In clinical, coaching, or occupational contexts, the Self-Organization of Activity Questionnaire can be used as an initial assessment of self-regulation habits and to help identify areas that may benefit from skills-focused intervention or further evaluation. Results should be interpreted in conjunction with clinical history, current demands, and other assessment data rather than as a standalone indicator of functioning.
