This questionnaire is used to assess how young children describe themselves in relation to gender-linked personality characteristics. The Children's Gender-Related Personality Traits Questionnaire is typically administered as a brief, structured self-report or interview-style measure suited to early childhood.

It consists of 18 items and is usually completed in about 4 minutes. Items are designed to elicit children’s endorsements of traits they associate with themselves, which can be interpreted in the context of gender-role concepts and related developmental factors.

Results from the Children's Gender-Related Personality Traits Questionnaire are generally used to inform a broader developmental or psychosocial evaluation and should be interpreted alongside clinical interview data, behavioral observations, and relevant collateral information.
