CLEAR ANSWERS TO COMMON QUESTIONS
Frequently Asked Questions

Any questions left?

What does this questionnaire measure?
It assesses sensitivity of basic behavioral regulation systems: inhibition and activation. Scores reflect the tendency to pause, avoid, or increase action in response to cues and consequences.
How long does it take and how many items are included?
Completion typically takes about 5 minutes. The form contains 24 brief items.
How should items be answered?
Answer each item based on typical behavior rather than a single recent situation. Select the response option that best fits the first, most accurate impression.
What do the scale scores mean?
Higher inhibition scores indicate stronger sensitivity to potential punishment or uncertainty and a greater tendency to hold back. Higher activation scores indicate stronger approach motivation and readiness to act in response to incentives.
Can results be used for diagnosis or selection decisions?
Results describe response style and do not provide a clinical diagnosis by themselves. Interpretation should consider context and other assessment information.
WHAT THE TEST MEASURES
About This Assessment
Gray-Wilson Brief Questionnaire, LOGU-K Test

Gray-Wilson Personality Questionnaire Test

This self-report measure is used to characterize individual differences in approach- and avoidance-related tendencies. The Gray-Wilson Personality Questionnaire provides a brief snapshot of temperament-linked sensitivity to behavioral activation and inhibition, consistent with Gray’s reinforcement sensitivity framework.

The instrument includes 24 items and typically takes about 5 minutes to complete. Items are answered in a fixed-response format and are intended to support efficient screening in research or clinical intake contexts, with interpretation based on scale scores rather than single items.

Authored by Michael J. Eysenck and Philip J. Corr, the Gray-Wilson Personality Questionnaire is generally used to inform hypotheses or case formulation regarding regulation of behavior under reward and threat conditions, and should be interpreted alongside clinical history and other assessment data.
