Frequently Asked Questions

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

Estimated completion time is about 6 minutes. The questionnaire contains 28 items.

WHAT THE TEST MEASURES

About This Assessment

Boredom Proneness Scale (BPS) Test

boredom

This measure assesses an individual’s tendency to experience boredom as a relatively stable dispositional characteristic. The Boredom Proneness Scale (BPS) is commonly used to characterize how readily a person becomes disengaged in routine or low-stimulation situations. It was developed by Richard F. Farmer and Norman D. Sundberg.

The instrument includes 28 items and typically takes about 6 minutes to complete. Results are generally interpreted as an index of boredom proneness that may be considered alongside related clinical features such as attention, motivation, affective engagement, and behavioral regulation. The Boredom Proneness Scale (BPS) may be used in clinical screening, research, or other applied settings as part of a broader assessment process.
