WHAT THE TEST MEASURES

About This Assessment

Gratitude Questionnaire-6 (GQ-6) Test

positive psychology

This brief self-report measure assesses individual differences in dispositional gratitude in everyday life. The Gratitude Questionnaire-6 (GQ-6) is commonly used in research and clinical contexts to characterize a person’s tendency to notice and appreciate benefits received from others.

It consists of 6 items and typically requires about 2 minutes to complete. Respondents rate statements reflecting the frequency and intensity of grateful feelings; scores are generally interpreted as an index of trait gratitude rather than a diagnostic indicator. The measure was developed by Michael E. McCullough.

In applied settings, the Gratitude Questionnaire-6 (GQ-6) may be used to support screening of gratitude-related strengths and to monitor change over time in response to interventions targeting well-being, values, or interpersonal functioning. Results should be considered alongside clinical history, cultural context, and other assessment data.
