WHAT THE TEST MEASURES
About This Assessment
Questionnaire on Professional Self-Relation of the Individual Test

Professional Self-Attitude Questionnaire Test - Symptoms and Signs

This measure is designed to assess an individual’s self-evaluative attitudes and perceived identity in relation to work roles. The Professional Self-Attitude Questionnaire provides a brief, structured self-report format for describing how a person appraises themselves as a worker or professional and how they relate emotionally and cognitively to their occupation.

It consists of 39 items and typically takes about 8 minutes to complete. Content is intended to support clinical or counseling formulations in vocational contexts by clarifying perceived competence, self-worth, and motivational orientation as they pertain to work.

Results from the Professional Self-Attitude Questionnaire may be used to inform career counseling, workplace coaching, or broader psychosocial assessment when work-related self-concept is clinically relevant. When interpreted alongside history and other measures, findings can help identify areas for further evaluation or intervention planning. Authors: Donald E. Super and John L. Holland.
