WHAT THE TEST MEASURES
About This Assessment
Assessment of the Developmental Stages of Subjectivity Formation Test

Comprehensive Assessment of Developmental Stages of Subjectivity Formation Test

This measure is designed to support a brief appraisal of developmental subjectivity, with attention to shifts in self-awareness and responsibility. The Assessment of the Developmental Stages of Subjectivity Formation is administered as a self-report questionnaire and can be used in educational or organizational contexts as an initial screening of perceived developmental position. It contains 10 items and typically requires about 15 minutes to complete.

Content is organized around a staged framework of subjectivity formation, progressing from basic self-observation to increasingly autonomous, reflective, and generative functioning. Results are intended to be interpreted descriptively to inform individualized goal-setting and to identify potential areas of developmental stagnation or transition. In some settings, the Assessment of the Developmental Stages of Subjectivity Formation may be complemented by an external informant perspective (e.g., educator ratings) to compare self-perceptions with observer impressions; authorship is attributed to Erik H. Erikson and Lawrence Kohlberg.
