WHAT THE TEST MEASURES
About This Assessment
Ambivalence Toward Men Inventory, AMI Test

Ambivalence Toward Men Inventory (AMI) Test

The measure is designed to assess attitudes toward men, including potentially mixed or conflicting evaluative components. The Ambivalence Toward Men Inventory (AMI) uses 20 items to sample both favorable and unfavorable beliefs and feelings in a structured self-report format.

Administration typically requires about 4 minutes, supporting use in research, educational, and clinical contexts where a brief appraisal of gender-related attitudes is needed. Results from the Ambivalence Toward Men Inventory (AMI) are commonly summarized as scale scores that can inform case formulation or hypothesis generation, and should be interpreted in context alongside other clinical and psychosocial information.
