WHAT THE TEST MEASURES

About This Assessment

Drama Triangle Questionnaire Test - Symptoms and Signs

transactional analysis karpman triangle victimhood

This measure is designed to assess recurrent interpersonal role patterns commonly described in the drama triangle framework. The Drama Triangle Questionnaire provides a brief self-report snapshot of beliefs and emotional tendencies that may be associated with assuming specific relational roles.

The questionnaire includes 30 items and takes about 6 minutes to complete. Items ask respondents to endorse statements reflecting typical reactions, expectations, and self-perceptions in interpersonal conflict or emotionally charged situations.

Developed in connection with the work of Stephen Karpman, the Drama Triangle Questionnaire is intended to support clinical discussion and case formulation by clarifying patterns that may contribute to cyclical conflict or codependent dynamics. Results should be interpreted in context and used as an adjunct to clinical interview and other assessment data.
