It takes about 2 minutes to complete. It includes 15 statements.
How should the items be answered?
Rate each statement based on how well it describes typical feelings and behavior. Respond quickly and avoid overthinking single items.

Brief Self-Actualization Index Test

existential psychologyself-actualization

This measure is intended to provide a brief screening of perceived self-actualization and alignment with personal values and internal resources. The Brief Self-Actualization Index can be used when a rapid, low-burden snapshot of self-reported personal growth and fulfillment is needed in clinical or applied settings.

It consists of 15 items and typically takes about 2 minutes to complete. Responses may be used to summarize the individual’s perceived level of self-actualization and to support discussion of goals, strengths, and areas for development over time; the Brief Self-Actualization Index is not a stand-alone diagnostic instrument and should be interpreted in the context of other clinical information.
