Self-Development Tendency Assessment Test - Symptoms and Signs
This measure is used to screen adolescents’ readiness to engage in personal growth and intentional self-improvement. The Self-Development Tendency Assessment is designed to provide a brief, structured appraisal of motivation and orientation toward self-directed change.
It consists of 32 items and typically takes about 6 minutes to complete. The measure is intended for use with adolescents ages 13-16 and may be useful in educational or clinical contexts to inform supportive planning.
