CLEAR ANSWERS TO COMMON QUESTIONS
Frequently Asked Questions

Any questions left?

What does this questionnaire measure?
It assesses the strength of needs related to danger and safety. It provides separate indicators for seeking risk, valuing safety, and efforts to maintain safety.
How should responses be selected?
Select the option that best matches typical feelings and behavior rather than a single unusual event. Answer all items using the same time frame and interpretation of the statements.
How long does it take to complete and how many items are included?
Completion typically takes about 3 minutes. The questionnaire includes 15 items.
How are results interpreted?
Higher scores on danger-related items suggest a stronger preference for challenge and risk, while higher safety-related scores suggest a stronger preference for stability and protection. Results describe tendencies and do not classify clinical conditions.
What are common uses of the results?
Results may support career guidance, task assignment, and counseling when reactions to risk and self-protection are relevant. They are intended to inform discussion and planning rather than serve as a sole basis for decisions.

Questionnaire for Identifying Needs Related to Danger and Safety Test

Danger and Safety Needs Questionnaire Test

securityrisk-taking

This brief self-report measure assesses individual preferences related to risk-taking and security. The Danger and Safety Needs Questionnaire is intended to help characterize the relative salience of seeking danger-related experiences versus valuing safety and stability.

The instrument contains 15 items and typically requires about 3 minutes to complete. Respondents indicate how well statements reflect their typical feelings or behaviors, yielding scores that can be used to describe tendencies toward sensation seeking and toward maintaining or prioritizing safety.

In clinical and applied settings, the Danger and Safety Needs Questionnaire may be used as an adjunct to interview and other assessment data when considering risk tolerance, safety-related motivations, and contextual fit (e.g., work or counseling goals). The authorship is sometimes attributed to Abraham H. Maslow; interpretation should follow the test’s manual and use appropriate normative or local reference data when available.
