Low

Moderate

High

6 – 11: Low | 12 – 17: Moderate | 18 – 24: High

A score of 12 falls in the Moderate range, suggesting a noticeable but not predominant tendency to process information through logic and structure.

Low

Moderate

High

6 – 12: Low | 13 – 18: Moderate | 19 – 24: High

Low

Moderate

High

CLEAR ANSWERS TO COMMON QUESTIONS

Frequently Asked Questions

Any questions left?

What does this questionnaire measure?

It screens which perception channel is most used when processing information: visual, auditory, kinesthetic, or digital. Results indicate a dominant style rather than a fixed trait.

How long does it take and how many questions are included?

Estimated completion time is about 8 minutes. The questionnaire contains 6 items.

What do the four result categories mean?

Visual reflects reliance on mental images; auditory reflects reliance on sounds and internal speech. Kinesthetic reflects reliance on bodily sensations and emotion; digital reflects reliance on logic and abstract concepts.

How should responses be selected?

Choose the option that best matches typical experience rather than an occasional preference. Respond to all items without spending extended time on any one question.

Is there a version for children and adolescents?

A simplified form is available for younger respondents that focuses on visual, auditory, and kinesthetic channels. The digital channel is not included in that version.

WHAT THE TEST MEASURES

About This Assessment

Coping Strategies Questionnaire Test

representational system

This brief self-report measure assesses the ways an individual typically manages stress and emotional demands. The Coping Strategies Questionnaire is designed to characterize common cognitive and behavioral coping approaches for use in clinical screening or treatment planning.

Developed by Richard S. Lazarus and Susan Folkman, it consists of 6 items and typically takes about 8 minutes to complete. Responses can be used to identify relative patterns of coping (e.g., problem-focused vs emotion-focused tendencies) and to support discussion of adaptive and maladaptive coping in context. The Coping Strategies Questionnaire is not a diagnostic instrument and should be interpreted alongside clinical interview findings and relevant collateral information.
