This brief self-report questionnaire is designed to screen for a relatively stable emotional orientation toward perceived success or failure. The Level of Fixed Emotional Set provides a snapshot of whether an individual tends to interpret life events through a consistent “success–failure” lens, which may inform clinical formulation and discussion.
Developed by H. J. Eysenck, it consists of 10 items and typically takes about 2 minutes to complete. Results are intended to support reflective conversation (e.g., in psychotherapy, coaching, or self-exploration) rather than provide a definitive diagnosis, and they should be interpreted in context of other clinical information.
The Level of Fixed Emotional Set may be useful for identifying areas where greater emotional flexibility could be a treatment focus, particularly when rigid patterns of self-evaluation or expectancy appear to influence mood, motivation, or coping.
