Group Identity Questionnaire Test

For readers reflecting on belonging at work or in another setting, the Group Identity Questionnaire Test offers a focused way to examine how membership enters personal experience. It is intended for anyone considering a team, workplace, association, or other social group and produces an overall result rather than a judgment about whether membership is good or bad. This social group identity test organizes reflection around one selected group.

What This Assessment Explores

Membership involves belonging, meaning, and emotional investment. The items ask whether respondents feel part of a whole, accept norms, connect outcomes with group success or failure, and feel reluctant to leave. It suits reflection on a workplace, team, association, or social group. As a group identification questionnaire, it examines identification, not group performance.

These themes contribute to one overall identification score:

• Belonging shows how strongly membership feels part of the self.
• Norm alignment covers conduct, relationships, and alignment with the group’s values and goals.
• Shared fate and attachment show whether group outcomes and separation carry emotional weight.
• Fit and conformity reflect adapting to the group’s view or trying to fit in.

The result reports Group Identity on a 0-100 scale: Low identification (0-33), Moderate identification (34-66), and High identification (67-100). A higher score indicates stronger identification with that group.

Methodology and Scientific Basis

Each item is a first-person statement answered on a six-point agreement scale. The options run from complete or strong disagreement through intermediate positions to agreement, so the respondent indicates degree rather than choosing yes or no.

Responses are combined into one result for the selected group. Because the exact conversion and weighting are unspecified, the score is best read as a broad indicator of identification rather than reconstructed item by item.

The online questionnaire is conceptually consistent with the Sidorenkov et al. (2019) instrument but is not an adaptation of it. Sidorenkov et al. (2022) place identification in the context of multiple organizational foci, while Ashforth and Mael (1989) provide the social identity framework linking self-concept with group membership. As a social identity questionnaire, the online version applies this construct to one group selected by the respondent.

Because it is a self-report tool, current circumstances, the wish to fit in, response style, and self-awareness can influence answers. The score bands organize reflection but do not establish a diagnosis.
