How the Scales are Structured

example score

72/100

Perceptual Polymodality (PP)

Measures how flexibly a person uses multiple sensory channels (e.g., visual, auditory, kinesthetic) when perceiving information.

Low

Moderate

High

0 – 33: Low | 34 – 66: Moderate | 67 – 100: High

A score of 72 indicates a high level of polymodality, suggesting you tend to draw on several sensory channels and can switch between them relatively easily when processing information.

CLEAR ANSWERS TO COMMON QUESTIONS

Frequently Asked Questions

What does this questionnaire measure?

It assesses relative preference and reactivity across sensory modalities used to perceive and process information. Scores are reported separately for each modality.

Who is the questionnaire intended for?

It is designed for adolescents and young adults ages 17 to 25. Use outside this range should be interpreted with caution.

How long does it take and how many items are included?

Completion typically takes about 13 minutes. The questionnaire contains 70 items.

How should items be answered?

Select the response that best matches typical reactions and preferences rather than an isolated event. Answer all items and avoid overthinking each choice.

How are results used and interpreted?

Higher scores indicate more active or preferred perceptual channels, and lower scores indicate less pronounced channels. Results can inform selection of learning materials and counseling strategies.

WHAT THE TEST MEASURES

About This Assessment

Questionnaire for Studying Multimodality of Perception, QMP Test

Perceptual Polymodality Questionnaire Test - Symptoms and Signs

representational system

Individual differences in sensory preferences are commonly assessed to inform how a person tends to notice and organize incoming information. The Perceptual Polymodality Questionnaire is a self-report measure designed to characterize relative strengths across multiple perceptual modalities (e.g., visual, auditory, kinesthetic) based on endorsed preferences and typical responses.

Developed by Lawrence E. Marks, it contains 70 items and typically takes about 13 minutes to complete. The Perceptual Polymodality Questionnaire yields modality-specific scores that can be used descriptively in educational, research, or counseling contexts to support discussion of learning and information-processing preferences; results should be interpreted in conjunction with clinical judgment and other assessment data.
