WHAT THE TEST MEASURES
About This Assessment

General Procrastination Scale (GPS) Test

procrastination

This brief self-report measure is designed to assess an individual’s general tendency to delay or postpone intended tasks and decisions. The General Procrastination Scale (GPS) provides a standardized way to quantify procrastination-related habits in everyday contexts.

Originally developed by Clarry H. Lay, it consists of 20 items and typically takes about 4 minutes to complete. Scores are commonly used to support screening and outcome monitoring in research or applied settings, and should be interpreted in the context of relevant clinical history, functioning, and situational demands.

The General Procrastination Scale (GPS) is not, by itself, diagnostic; results may help identify patterns of task avoidance that warrant further assessment or intervention planning.
