WHAT THE TEST MEASURES
About This Assessment
Professional Adaptation Scale Test - Symptoms and Signs
This measure is designed to assess an individual’s subjective adjustment to their work role and occupational context. The Professional Adaptation Scale provides a brief self-report snapshot of perceived comfort, strain, and overall satisfaction related to one’s professional functioning. It was developed by John P. Campbell.
The instrument contains 20 items and typically takes about 4 minutes to complete. Responses may be used to summarize perceived fit and distress associated with work, which can inform discussions in career counseling, workplace consultation, or broader clinical evaluations where occupational functioning is relevant. The Professional Adaptation Scale is not a diagnostic tool and should be interpreted in conjunction with clinical interview data and other relevant sources of information.
