WHAT THE TEST MEASURES

About This Assessment

Assertiveness Questionnaire Test

assertiveness

This measure is designed to support a brief screening of assertive communication and self-advocacy in interpersonal contexts. The Assertiveness Questionnaire includes 26 items and is typically completed in about 5 minutes.

Items reflect everyday situations in which individuals may need to express thoughts, feelings, or preferences directly while maintaining respect for others’ boundaries. Responses can be used to estimate the respondent’s typical tendency toward assertive behavior relative to passive or aggressive patterns, and to help identify potential targets for clinical discussion or skills-focused intervention. The Assertiveness Questionnaire is commonly referenced in work by Andrew M. Alberti and Michael L. Emmons.
