Low

Moderate

High

0 – 1: Low | 2 – 3: Moderate | 4 – 5: High

A score of 2 suggests a moderate tendency to notice or trust intuitive impressions about past events, though this is not a consistent or strongly relied-upon source of understanding.

Low balance

Moderate balance

High balance

0 – 1: Low balance | 2 – 3: Moderate balance | 4 – 5: High balance

Low

Moderate

High

0 – 1: Low | 2 – 3: Moderate | 4 – 5: High

WHAT THE TEST MEASURES

About This Assessment

Self-Perceived Intuition Questionnaire Test - Symptoms and Signs

intuition

This self-report measure assesses how individuals perceive and report using intuitive processes in everyday life. The Self-Perceived Intuition Questionnaire is intended to capture perceived tendencies to rely on rapid, non-deliberative impressions across common situations and activities.

The instrument includes 85 items and typically requires about 16 minutes to complete. Item content broadly reflects perceived intuition in personal, interpersonal, and self-regulatory contexts, supporting descriptive profiling of self-perceived intuitive functioning.

Developed by Seymour Epstein and Gary Klein, the Self-Perceived Intuition Questionnaire may be used in clinical, counseling, or research settings to facilitate discussion of decision-making style and perceived reliance on intuitive judgments, with interpretation guided by the broader assessment context.
