WHAT THE TEST MEASURES

About This Assessment

Early Adolescent Temperament Questionnaire-Revised (EATQ-R) Test

self-regulation structure of temperament

This brief measure is used to screen adolescent effortful control, including attention regulation and behavioral self-management across everyday contexts. The Early Adolescent Temperament Questionnaire-Revised (EATQ-R) supports rapid appraisal of concentration, impulse control, and related self-regulatory capacities.

The instrument includes parallel youth- and parent-report formats to provide complementary perspectives on the adolescent’s functioning. It consists of 16 items and typically takes about 3 minutes to complete.

Results from the Early Adolescent Temperament Questionnaire-Revised (EATQ-R) may help identify areas of relative strength and difficulty that can inform follow-up assessment and targeted intervention planning in educational or clinical settings. Citation: Samuel P. Putnam.
