How long does it take to complete, and how many items are included?

Estimated completion time is about 11 minutes. The questionnaire includes 60 items.

WHAT THE TEST MEASURES

About This Assessment

Assessment of Benziger Thinking Styles Test

Benziger Thinking Styles Assessment Test

laterality thinking style

This self-report inventory is designed to describe individual preferences in how information is processed and tasks are approached. The Benziger Thinking Styles Assessment yields a profile of relative thinking-style tendencies based on responses to situational prompts and self-descriptive statements.

The measure includes 60 items and typically takes about 11 minutes to complete. It was developed by Benziger, K. Results are generally interpreted as indicating predominant patterns of thinking preference that may inform self-reflection, communication, and role fit, and should be considered alongside other assessment data when used for applied decision-making.

Because versions and scoring approaches may vary across settings, documentation for the specific Benziger Thinking Styles Assessment administration should be reviewed to support appropriate interpretation and to clarify intended use and psychometric support.
