WHAT THE TEST MEASURES
About This Assessment
Questionnaire of Socially-Oriented Activity Test

Socially Oriented Activity Questionnaire Test - Symptoms and Signs

This questionnaire is designed to assess individual differences in socially oriented engagement and typical patterns of participation in social contexts. The Socially Oriented Activity Questionnaire provides a brief self-report snapshot of how a respondent thinks about, feels about, and behaves within interpersonal and group settings. It was developed by David A. Kenny and Mark Snyder.

The measure contains 15 items and typically takes about 3 minutes to complete. The Socially Oriented Activity Questionnaire may be used in clinical, counseling, or organizational settings as a screening tool to support case conceptualization and to guide follow-up assessment or intervention planning.
