Comprehensive Intellectual Humility Scale (CIHS) Test - Symptoms and Signs
This self-report measure assesses intellectual humility, including openness to revising one’s views and the capacity to engage respectfully with differing perspectives. The Comprehensive Intellectual Humility Scale (CIHS) is intended to capture individual differences in how people respond to new information, feedback, and disagreement.
The scale includes 22 items and typically takes about 5 minutes to complete. Items reflect domains such as willingness to change beliefs when warranted, reduced overconfidence in one’s knowledge, lower ego-involvement in being “right,” and respect for alternative viewpoints. Developed by June Tangney and Mark Leary, the Comprehensive Intellectual Humility Scale (CIHS) may be used in clinical, counseling, and organizational contexts to support case formulation, facilitate reflective discussion, or inform interventions targeting interpersonal functioning and cognitive flexibility.
