About This Assessment

Boredom Proneness Scale-Short Form (BPS-SR) Test

boredom

This measure assesses individual differences in the tendency to experience boredom as a relatively stable trait. The Boredom Proneness Scale-Short Form (BPS-SR) is a brief self-report instrument intended to capture how readily a person becomes disengaged, loses interest, or feels understimulated in everyday contexts.

The questionnaire includes 8 items and typically requires about 2 minutes to complete. Items ask respondents to rate common reactions to monotonous or uninteresting situations, supporting efficient screening in clinical, counseling, and research settings. The Boredom Proneness Scale-Short Form (BPS-SR) was developed by Richard F. Farmer and Norman D. Sundberg.
