Good-Evil Test 2 - Symptoms and Signs
This instrument is designed to assess how an individual endorses and expresses morally valenced self-perceptions and attitudes. Good-Evil Test 2 provides a brief, structured approach for examining ethical self-appraisal and related dispositional tendencies in a clinical or educational context. It was developed by Delroy L. Paulhus and Robert A. Emmons.
The measure consists of 44 items and typically requires about 9 minutes to complete. Responses are intended to support interpretation of the respondent’s perceived alignment with prosocial versus antisocial qualities, with attention to how these themes may function in everyday decision-making and interpersonal behavior.
Good-Evil Test 2 is often considered when working with adolescents and young adults to inform case formulation, counseling goals, or psychoeducational discussion of values and moral reasoning. As with any self-report measure, results should be interpreted in conjunction with collateral information, clinical interview data, and appropriate scoring procedures, with attention to version-specific administration and norms.
