WHAT THE TEST MEASURES

About This Assessment

Ageism Questionnaire Test

ageism aging

This brief self-report measure screens for perceived experiences of age-based bias and related subjective impact. The Ageism Questionnaire is intended to capture how frequently an individual notices or feels affected by age-related stereotyping or differential treatment in everyday contexts.

Developed by Erdman B. Palmore, it consists of 14 items and typically requires about 3 minutes to complete. Responses can be used to support clinical interviewing, consultation, or research by identifying areas where age-related experiences may be relevant to distress, functioning, or interpersonal dynamics.

The Ageism Questionnaire is not a diagnostic instrument; results should be interpreted in context, considering the respondent’s age, setting, and broader psychosocial factors.
