WHAT THE TEST MEASURES

Level of Personal Subjectivity Development Test - Description and methodology of the test

autonomy

subjectivity

People reflecting on recurring decisions, interpersonal reactions, or their sense of direction may find the Level of Personal Subjectivity Development Test useful. This questionnaire provides a personal agency profile with separate scale results and an overall position between object-oriented and subject-oriented strategies, showing how complementary tendencies coexist.

What This Assessment Explores

Subjectivity describes choice, regulation, relationships, and action. Subjectivity development concerns agency in decisions and relationships, not a fixed type. The scales are:

Self-Worth (0-52) measures confidence: Low 0-27; Moderate 28-43; High 44-52.
Creativity (0-52) measures social flexibility: Low 0-27; Moderate 28-41; High 42-52.
Mediatedness (0-52) measures self-regulation: Low 0-27; Moderate 28-40; High 41-52.
Integrity (0-52) measures connection and boundaries: Low 0-26; Moderate 27-40; High 41-52.
Autonomy (0-52) measures independence: Low autonomy 0-26; Moderate autonomy 27-40; High autonomy 41-52.
Activity (0-52) measures initiative: Low activity 0-25; Moderate activity 26-39; High activity 40-52.
Personal Subjectivity Development Level (0-244) measures objective versus subjective strategies: More objective strategies 0-135; Balanced / transitional 136-181; More subjective agency 182-244.

Methodology and Scientific Basis

The sampled statements use five options-Never, Rarely, Sometimes, Often, or Always-so respondents rate how often a pattern feels true. The examples address initiative, responsibility, self-evaluation, dependence, flexibility, conflict, sensitivity, and consequences for relationships and decisions. As a personal subjectivity assessment, it is most useful when answers describe usual behavior.

Seven displayed scales provide dimension-level and overall results. Interpret each result through its displayed range and band; the ranges do not reveal a points-per-answer formula.

The closest conceptual source is Shchukina's URSL work from 2004-2005. Her subject approach presents people as active agents who initiate, regulate, understand, and take responsibility for activity. Her 2015 book extends this framework. This online form is conceptually consistent with that work, not an adaptation of the URSL.

Maltseva's 2022 study gives a later applied example of the construct, but does not validate this digital form. The digital questionnaire offers a context-sensitive profile: self-report can shift with mood, current relationships, self-awareness, and impression management, so interpret the pattern alongside recurring behavior across settings rather than as a clinical conclusion.
