CLEAR ANSWERS TO COMMON QUESTIONS

Frequently Asked Questions

Any questions left?

What does this questionnaire measure?

It provides a brief estimate of proneness to neurotic reactions and related internal discomfort. Results support early identification of possible neurotic disorders.

How is it administered?

The respondent answers 45 items, each scored with a diagnostic weight that accounts for gender. Completion typically takes about 9 minutes.

How should results be interpreted?

Scores indicate the likelihood and intensity of neurotic manifestations and serve as a screening indicator. They do not confirm a clinical diagnosis and may require follow-up assessment.

When is combined testing recommended?

Use alongside measures of anxiety and depressive states when a broader symptom profile is needed. Combined results can help detect mild or masked psychopathological features.

Can results be used to track change over time?

Repeated administrations can be compared to monitor shifts in symptom level or response to interventions. Interpretation should consider testing conditions and the interval between administrations.

WHAT THE TEST MEASURES

About This Assessment

Neuroticism Level Scale Test

neuronalization

The measure is intended for brief screening of an individual’s propensity toward neurotic reactions and related distress. The Neuroticism Level Scale is used to support initial case formulation and to help determine whether more comprehensive assessment is warranted.

It consists of 45 items and typically requires about 9 minutes to complete. Items are weighted for scoring purposes, with weights that may vary by respondent sex, and results are interpreted as an index of neurotic-like features rather than a standalone diagnosis.

The Neuroticism Level Scale is often interpreted alongside other symptom measures to contextualize anxiety- and mood-related complaints and to monitor change over time. Development is attributed to NIPNI.
