Personal Identity Questionnaire Test - Symptoms and Signs

This brief self-report measure is designed to screen aspects of personal identity and self-concept clarity. The Personal Identity Questionnaire is intended to provide a rapid indication of how consistently an individual experiences a coherent sense of self and life orientation.

The measure includes 8 items and typically requires about 2 minutes to complete.
