CLEAR ANSWERS TO COMMON QUESTIONS

Frequently Asked Questions

What does this questionnaire measure?
It screens for patterns of socially deviant behavior across offline and online settings. It covers antisocial/asocial behavior and self-harming or self-sabotaging behavior in both environments.
How long does it take and how many items are included?
Completion typically takes about 9 minutes. It contains 48 items.
What time frame should be used when answering?
Answer based on typical behavior over the recent past, not a single unusual event. If unsure, select the option that best matches the most common pattern.
How should responses be selected?
Choose the response that most accurately reflects actual actions, not intentions or how behavior should look. Use the full range of options rather than selecting the same option for all items.
How are results organized and interpreted?
Scores are reported across four areas: offline antisocial/asocial behavior, offline self-destructive behavior, online antisocial/aggressive behavior, and online self-destructive behavior. Higher scores generally indicate greater severity or frequency within that area and support further assessment when elevated.
WHAT THE TEST MEASURES
About This Assessment
Methodology for Diagnosing Deviant Behavior Test

Deviant Behavior Assessment Test - Symptoms and Signs

This measure is designed to assess patterns of socially non-normative behavior across contexts. The Deviant Behavior Assessment is a self-report instrument intended to support clinical or psychosocial screening and case formulation.

The questionnaire includes 48 items and typically takes about 9 minutes to complete. Items query a range of behaviors that may reflect antisocial or asocial activity, self-directed harmful behavior, and related conduct in both offline and online environments, allowing comparison of functioning across settings.

Results from the Deviant Behavior Assessment should be interpreted in conjunction with clinical interview data, collateral information, and relevant risk assessment procedures. If authorship is cited, it is attributed to Travis Hirschi.
