Who is this questionnaire intended for?

It is intended for adults in educational, organizational, or clinical settings where task completion and time management are relevant. It is used for screening and for planning targeted support or coaching.

Completion typically takes about 8 minutes. The questionnaire includes 40 items.

WHAT THE TEST MEASURES

About This Assessment

Procrastination Assessment Questionnaire Test

procrastination

This measure is used to characterize patterns of task delay and the functional impact of postponement in everyday and work-related contexts. The Procrastination Assessment Questionnaire provides a structured self-report format to support initial screening and case formulation (Steel).

The instrument includes 40 items and typically takes about 8 minutes to complete. Item content broadly addresses the frequency of procrastination behaviors and common contributing factors (e.g., avoidance, difficulty initiating tasks, or problems with sustained follow-through), supporting interpretation in clinical and occupational settings.

Results are generally used to inform discussion of maintaining factors and to guide intervention planning (e.g., behavioral activation, skills-based time management strategies, or addressing maladaptive beliefs). The Procrastination Assessment Questionnaire is not a stand-alone diagnostic tool and should be interpreted alongside clinical interview data and other relevant measures.
