WHAT THE TEST MEASURES

About This Assessment

Quality of Life Inventory (QOLI) Test

quality of life

Quality of life is typically conceptualized as a multidimensional construct that reflects both satisfaction and personal values across major life domains. The Quality of Life Inventory (QOLI) is a brief self-report measure designed to support a structured appraisal of perceived well-being.

Developed by Michael B. Frisch, it uses 32 items and typically requires about 6 minutes to complete. Respondents rate multiple areas of functioning on both importance and satisfaction, allowing clinicians to identify domains that contribute most to overall quality of life and to guide case formulation, treatment planning, and outcome monitoring. In clinical practice, the Quality of Life Inventory (QOLI) may be used to clarify priorities, track change over time, and complement symptom-focused assessment.
