WHAT THE TEST MEASURES

About This Assessment

Psychological Flexibility Test

psychological flexibility rigidity

This measure is designed to assess individual differences in adaptive responding to change and shifting situational demands. The Psychological Flexibility Test is a brief self-report questionnaire intended to characterize patterns of flexibility versus rigidity in thoughts, emotions, and behavior.

It includes 40 items and typically takes about 8 minutes to complete. Items query responses to novel or changing circumstances and the ability to consider alternative perspectives, yielding a profile that may help inform case conceptualization or discussion of coping style.

The Psychological Flexibility Test has been attributed to Steven C. Hayes in some contexts and is generally used as an adjunct to clinical interview and other sources of information rather than as a stand-alone diagnostic tool.
