WHAT THE TEST MEASURES

About This Assessment

Level of Personal Subjectivity Development Test - Symptoms and Signs

autonomy subjectivity

This self-report measure is designed to assess aspects of self-regulation, autonomous decision-making, and the capacity to act as an independent and responsible agent in social contexts. The Level of Personal Subjectivity Development is intended to capture perceived internal autonomy, reflective awareness of needs and values, and perceived ability to influence one’s environment.

The instrument includes 61 items and typically requires about 12 minutes to complete. Albert Bandura is listed as the author.

In applied settings, the Level of Personal Subjectivity Development may be used to support case formulation and intervention planning by identifying relative strengths and vulnerabilities in self-management, responsibility-taking, and reflective self-awareness. Interpretation should be guided by the available norms and psychometric documentation, particularly when used with adolescents versus adults.
