Measures confidence and self-control in one’s ability to solve challenging problems under uncertainty.

Low

Moderate

High

7 – 16: Low | 17 – 26: Moderate | 27 – 35: High

A score of 14 falls in the Low range, suggesting reduced confidence and self-control when tackling difficult or uncertain problems.

Low

Moderate

High

6 – 13: Low | 14 – 21: Moderate | 22 – 30: High

A score of 22 falls in the High range, suggesting a strong orientation toward creativity, exploration, and proactive idea generation when facing uncertainty.

Measures how strongly a person reacts negatively to uncertainty and tends to avoid decisions when outcomes are unclear.

Low

Moderate

High

5 – 11: Low | 12 – 18: Moderate | 19 – 25: High

WHAT THE TEST MEASURES

About This Assessment

Intellectual Risk Assessment Scale, SRIS Test

Suicide Risk Intelligence Scale (SRIS) Test - Symptoms and Signs

risk-taking

self-efficacy

This self-report measure is intended to assess cognitive appraisals and self-regulatory responses when individuals face uncertain or potentially risky situations. The Suicide Risk Intelligence Scale (SRIS) uses brief items to capture perceived capacity to evaluate probabilities, manage affect under uncertainty, and seek information to support decision-making. The scale is attributed to Amos Tversky.

It consists of 21 items and typically takes about 4 minutes to complete. The Suicide Risk Intelligence Scale (SRIS) may be used in clinical or research settings to support a structured description of risk-related cognition and coping, and results should be interpreted in the context of other clinical information rather than as a stand-alone determination.
