WHAT THE TEST MEASURES

About This Assessment

Activity Threshold Test

activity

This self-report measure is designed to screen for an individual’s typical propensity for activity and decisive action. Activity Threshold can be used to support an initial clinical impression regarding initiative, action orientation, and behavioral follow-through in everyday contexts.

The questionnaire contains 18 items and typically takes about 4 minutes to complete. Responses are intended to be interpreted as an index of relative tendency toward acting versus delaying, and may be used alongside interview data and other measures rather than as a stand-alone diagnostic indicator.

In clinical or counseling settings, Activity Threshold may help structure discussion of motivational barriers, confidence in decision-making, and habits that support sustained engagement with tasks and goals. The measure is attributed to Donald O. Hebb.
