CLEAR ANSWERS TO COMMON QUESTIONS

Frequently Asked Questions

Any questions left?

What does this questionnaire measure?

It screens for predominant patterns in gender-role orientation and related interpersonal strategies. Results are grouped into four types that reflect different combinations of traditional, egalitarian, maternal, and masculine dynamics.

How long does it take and how many items are included?

Estimated completion time is about 2 minutes. The questionnaire contains 10 items.

What are the four result types?

The four types are patriarchal-masculine, patriarchal-egalitarian, matriarchal-masculine, and matriarchal-egalitarian. Each type summarizes a distinct configuration of attitudes, roles, and behavioral tendencies.

How should items be answered?

Select the response that best matches typical behavior or beliefs rather than isolated situations. Use first impressions and avoid overthinking individual items.

How should results be used in practice?

Results support case formulation in counseling, psychotherapy, family conflict work, and organizational team settings. They do not provide a diagnosis and should be interpreted alongside other clinical or assessment information.

WHAT THE TEST MEASURES

About This Assessment

Gender Personality Type Questionnaire Test

gender

When working with gender-role self-concept, brief screening tools can help organize an initial clinical impression. The Gender Personality Type Questionnaire is a short self-report measure intended to characterize an individual’s pattern of gender-related traits and role orientations.

The measure includes 10 items and typically takes about 2 minutes to complete. It is attributed to Sandra L. Bem. Responses are commonly summarized into a small set of typological profiles that may be used to support case formulation or research descriptions; interpretation should be integrated with clinical interview data and other assessment findings.

In practice, the Gender Personality Type Questionnaire may be considered when clarifying gender-role attitudes and interpersonal strategies in contexts such as counseling, psychotherapy, or applied research. Results are best treated as descriptive indicators rather than diagnostic conclusions, with attention to cultural and contextual factors that may influence endorsement patterns.
