WHAT THE TEST MEASURES

About This Assessment

Jenkins Activity Survey for Behavioral Activity Type, JAS Test

Jenkins Activity Survey (JAS) Test

type a behavior

In clinical and occupational settings, brief assessment of behavior under pressure can help characterize coping style and stress-related risk patterns. The Jenkins Activity Survey (JAS) is a self-report measure designed to assess features commonly associated with Type A behavior (e.g., time urgency, competitiveness, and impatience).

Developed by Raymond H. Rosenman and David M. Jenkins, it includes 61 items and typically requires about 11 minutes to complete. Responses are used to quantify the degree to which Type A–related behavioral tendencies are endorsed, supporting screening and descriptive evaluation in research or applied assessment.

Interpretation of Jenkins Activity Survey (JAS) results is generally focused on the relative prominence of Type A characteristics versus more relaxed, lower-urgency patterns. Findings should be integrated with clinical interview data and relevant contextual information, rather than used as a stand-alone basis for diagnosis or risk determination.
