Frequently Asked Questions

What does this questionnaire measure?
It estimates the stability and tone of an individual’s underlying emotional attitude. Results group responses into three general internal-state patterns labeled “winner,” “average,” or “loser.”
How should the results be used?
The results are intended to support self-reflection or to guide the focus of psychotherapy. They are not designed for diagnosis or risk screening.
How long does it take and how many items are included?
Completion typically takes about 10–11 minutes. The questionnaire contains 57 items.
How should responses be selected?
Choose the option that best matches the usual emotional background, not a single unusual day. Respond to all items and avoid overthinking individual statements.
What may affect score accuracy?
Fatigue, distractions, intoxication, or acute stress can shift responses and reduce comparability. For clearer results, complete it in a quiet setting and answer consistently.
WHAT THE TEST MEASURES
About This Assessment

Fixed Emotional Set Level Test - Symptoms and Signs

This measure is designed to provide a brief, structured appraisal of an individual’s relatively stable emotional stance. Fixed Emotional Set Level is intended to support clinical formulation and self-reflection by organizing responses into a general profile of perceived emotional well-being (Paul Ekman).

The instrument consists of 57 items and typically requires about 11 minutes to complete. Results are not intended for diagnostic use; instead, Fixed Emotional Set Level may be used as a starting point for discussion in psychotherapy or other supportive contexts, with interpretation integrated alongside clinical history and presenting concerns.
