WHAT THE TEST MEASURES
About This Assessment

Internal Dialogic Activity Scale Test

This instrument assesses the extent to which a person engages in internal self-dialogue, such as considering multiple perspectives or mentally rehearsing social interactions. The Internal Dialogic Activity Scale is intended to characterize variability in internal positions and the frequency of dialogic self-talk in everyday cognition. It consists of 26 items and typically takes about 5 minutes to complete.

Scores from the Internal Dialogic Activity Scale may be used in clinical or research settings to describe individual differences in self-reflective processing and internal perspective-taking. Results should be interpreted within the broader assessment context and are not, by themselves, diagnostic.
