About This Assessment

Measurement of Artistic and Aesthetic Needs, PE Test

Measurement of Artistic and Aesthetic Needs Test

aesthetics

This self-report measure assesses individual differences in artistic and aesthetic needs as reflected in interest in creative activity, engagement with art, and the value placed on aesthetic experience. Measurement of Artistic and Aesthetic Needs is typically used to support a brief, structured appraisal of this domain within broader motivational or personality-focused evaluations. The instrument is attributed to E. P. Torrance and H. A. Murray.

The questionnaire includes 32 items and generally requires about 6 minutes to complete. Results are interpreted as indicators of the respondent’s relative emphasis on artistic and aesthetic motives and should be considered alongside other clinical, educational, or contextual information; Measurement of Artistic and Aesthetic Needs is not designed to serve as a stand-alone diagnostic tool.
