0 – 1Low present-focus

2 – 3Moderate present-focus

4 – 5High present-focus

A score of 2 suggests a moderate tendency to use intuitive signals for in-the-moment situations, though this may be inconsistent or depend on context.

0 – 1Low balance

2 – 3Moderate balance

4 – 5High balance

A score of 3 indicates a moderate level of equanimity, suggesting intuition is often accessible when relatively calm but may be disrupted by stronger external pressures.

example score2/5

2/5Moderateexample score

0 – 1Low

2 – 3Moderate

4 – 5High

A score of 2 suggests a moderate belief that altered states can support intuition, but this is not a dominant source of intuitive experience for you.

example score3/5

3/5Moderateexample score

0 – 1Low

2 – 3Moderate

4 – 5High

A score of 3 indicates a moderate tendency to notice and sometimes trust bodily cues (e.g., tension or ease) as guidance, while still balancing them with other information.

example score3/5

3/5Moderateexample score

0 – 1Low

2 – 3Moderate

4 – 5High

A score of 3 suggests a moderate tendency to notice intuitive visual images that sometimes help point toward solutions.

example score2/5

2/5Moderateexample score

0 – 1Low

2 – 3Moderate

4 – 5High

A score of 2 indicates a moderate tendency to notice occasional inner-voice or sound-like intuitive cues, but they are not a dominant guide in everyday decisions.

Interpersonal RelationshipsIR

Measures how much you rely on intuitive impressions and cues when understanding and interacting with other people.

example score2/5

2/5Moderateexample score

0 – 1Low

2 – 3Moderate

4 – 5High

A score of 2 indicates a moderate tendency to notice and sometimes trust intuitive signals in interpersonal situations, while still relying substantially on deliberate reasoning or explicit information.

Measures how strongly a person directs intuition toward understanding their own feelings, motives, and life experiences.

example score3/5

3/5Moderateexample score

0 – 1Low

2 – 3Moderate

4 – 5High

A score of 3 suggests a moderate tendency to notice and use intuitive insights about oneself, with this ability showing up in some situations more than others.

Everyday Life ActivationELA

example score1/5

1/5Low activationexample score

0 – 1Low activation

2 – 3Moderate activation

4 – 5High activation

A score of 1 indicates low activation of intuition in everyday life, suggesting you rarely use gut feelings in typical daily situations and tend to rely more on deliberate cues.

Activation in Extreme SituationsAiES

example score2/5

2/5Moderate activationexample score

0 – 1Low activation

2 – 3Moderate activation

4 – 5High activation

A score of 2 suggests a moderate tendency to rely on intuitive cues in extreme situations, with intuition present but not consistently leading decision-making under pressure.

WHAT THE TEST MEASURES

Self-Perceived Intuition Questionnaire Test - Description and methodology of the test

intuition

People who want to understand how intuitive impressions arise in choices, relationships, work, and demanding situations may use the Self-Perceived Intuition Questionnaire Test as a structured self-report. The intuition assessment produces a multidimensional profile of perceived intuitive tendencies, including when they occur, how they are experienced, and whether the respondent feels able to use them deliberately. It suits reflective self-examination.

What This Assessment Explores

Within the intuition questionnaire, timing, context, sensory form, state, and agency are separated. Higher scores show more of a tendency, not better judgment. The profile shows where intuition appears and whether it seems deliberate. These results concern work, relationships, choices, difficult situations, bodily feelings, images, and speech, describing patterns rather than verified accuracy.

Present Orientation, Future Orientation, Past Orientation, and Temporal Orientation (0-5 each) show when intuitive information concerns events.
In Professional Activity, Interpersonal Relationships, Self-Focused Intuition, Everyday Life Activation, and Activation in Extreme Situations (0-5 each) show where intuition operates.
Kinesthetic Modality, Visual Modality, and Auditory Modality (0-5 each) identify bodily, image-based, and inner-voice cues.
Emotional Stability, Altered States, Negative State, and Positive State (0-5 each) describe accompanying conditions.
Intention/Psychokinesis, Voluntary Use of Intuition, Intuition Accuracy, Intuition Strength, and Total Score (0-5 each) describe perceived influence, agency, clarity, and intensity.

Methodology and Scientific Basis

The four choices-Almost never, Rarely, Often, and Almost always-measure frequency. Items mix personal statements with scenarios about work, danger, relationships, coincidence, inner speech, bodily signals, and intuitive decisions. Responses feed the named dimensions and an overall index.

Most bands use Low 0-1, Moderate 2-3, and High 4-5, with labels adapted to present-focus, reliance, future orientation, balance, activation, and temporal flexibility. Voluntary use uses Mostly spontaneous 0-1, Sometimes intentional 2-3, and Deliberately engaged 4-5; accuracy and the overall index use Low 0-2, Moderate 3-4, and High 5-5. The online format provides descriptive bands rather than standardized norms.

OPSI (Grigoryev & Vasilyeva, 2017) is the closest named instrument; this questionnaire is conceptually consistent with it, not presented as a direct adaptation. Vasilyeva and Grigoryev (2014) provide theoretical context, and Epstein et al. (1996) distinguish intuitive-experiential from analytical-rational processing. For an intuition test of this kind, mood, memory, confidence, and interpretations of coincidence or bodily sensations can affect self-report, so accuracy or influence over events is not independently verified.
