Personal Growth Initiative Scale (PGIS) Test - Symptoms and Signs
In clinical and research settings, the Personal Growth Initiative Scale (PGIS) is a brief self-report measure designed to assess an individual’s active and intentional involvement in personal development. It focuses on the extent to which a person engages in self-directed change through planning, goal setting, and taking purposeful steps toward improvement.
Developed by C. D. Robitschek, the instrument includes 9 items and typically requires about 2 minutes to complete. Scores are commonly used to characterize readiness for proactive growth and to support case formulation, goal planning, and evaluation of change processes over time; results from the Personal Growth Initiative Scale (PGIS) should be interpreted in context of other clinical information rather than as a standalone indicator.
