WHAT THE TEST MEASURES

About This Assessment

Emotional and Moral Development Test

personal maturity morality

In school-based and clinical contexts, it can be helpful to clarify the values and motivations that guide a child’s behavior. The Emotional and Moral Development Test is a brief self-report measure intended to support this type of screening, drawing broadly on developmental theory described by Lawrence Kohlberg and Martin L. Hoffman.

The instrument includes 14 items and typically takes about 3 minutes to complete. Items are designed to elicit preferences and priorities that may reflect a relative emphasis on external rewards versus internal values, which can inform hypotheses about emotional–moral orientation.

Results from the Emotional and Moral Development Test should be interpreted cautiously and integrated with clinical interview data, behavioral observations, and collateral information. It is best used as an initial indicator to guide further assessment and intervention planning rather than as a stand-alone diagnostic tool.
