WHAT THE TEST MEASURES
About This Assessment
Work-Related Flow Scale (WOLF-S) Test - Symptoms and Signs
This self-report measure is designed to assess the experience of flow in a work-related context. The Work-Related Flow Scale (WOLF-S) asks respondents to rate typical features of flow states, such as focused absorption, perceived control, and altered sense of time.
The instrument contains 13 items and takes about 3 minutes to complete. It was developed by Jeanne Nakamura and Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi.
Scores from the Work-Related Flow Scale (WOLF-S) may be used in organizational or research settings to quantify the frequency and intensity of flow experiences during work activities and to support interpretation alongside other indicators of engagement and well-being.
