example score
99/275
Personal-Situational (P)
Measures the ability to anticipate interpersonal and everyday situations by considering one’s typical behavior and context-specific factors.
Lower anticipatory capacity
Higher anticipatory capacity
55 – 165: Lower anticipatory capacity | 166 – 275: Higher anticipatory capacity
A score of 99 falls in the Lower anticipatory capacity range, suggesting less consistent foresight in predicting interpersonal and life situations compared with higher scores.

Anticipatory Competence Test

forecastingtemporal perspective

This measure evaluates an individual’s capacity to anticipate upcoming events and to plan responses in advance. The Anticipatory Competence Test is intended to support a structured appraisal of predictive competence across common everyday demands.

The instrument includes 81 items and typically takes about 15 minutes to complete. Item content samples anticipatory functioning across personal–situational, spatial, and temporal domains, reflecting how a person considers their typical behavior in context, tracks changes in the environment, and anticipates event sequences and timing.

Results from the Anticipatory Competence Test may be used to inform clinical formulation and decision-making in settings where prospective planning and adaptive forecasting are relevant. Authorship is attributed to Albert Bandura.
