WHAT THE TEST MEASURES

About This Assessment

Communication Skills Questionnaire Test - Symptoms and Signs

assertiveness social competence

Communication is a learned behavioral repertoire that develops across adolescence and can be evaluated with brief self-report measures. The Communication Skills Questionnaire is designed to provide a rapid snapshot of perceived interpersonal communication functioning in common social contexts.

The instrument consists of 27 items and typically takes about 5 minutes to complete. Items are presented in questionnaire format and are intended to support screening and initial case formulation by highlighting relative strengths and potential areas for further assessment.

In clinical, counseling, and school-based settings, results from the Communication Skills Questionnaire may be used to structure discussion of communication patterns, guide goal setting, and inform targeted skills-focused intervention. The measure is attributed to Brian H. Spitzberg and William R. Cupach.
