WHAT THE TEST MEASURES

About This Assessment

Fixed Emotional Set Level Test

transactional analysis

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.
