WHAT THE TEST MEASURES

About This Assessment

Moscow Authenticity Scale (MAS) Test

authenticity

This brief self-report measure assesses perceived authenticity as a trait, including the extent to which an individual experiences alignment between internal experiences, self-concept, and day-to-day behavior. The Moscow Authenticity Scale (MAS) is intended for rapid screening of subjective authenticity in clinical, counseling, or research settings.

The instrument consists of 5 items and typically takes about 1 minutes to complete. Items ask respondents to rate statements about feeling true to oneself and experiencing congruence with one’s environment and circumstances. The Moscow Authenticity Scale (MAS) is attributed to Michael H. Kernis and is best interpreted as a concise indicator of perceived authenticity rather than a comprehensive diagnostic assessment.
