Signaling Systems Ratio Questionnaire Test - Symptoms and Signs
This measure is designed to characterize individual differences in reliance on perceptual, image-based impressions versus more abstract, symbol-mediated processing. The Signaling Systems Ratio Questionnaire provides an index of the relative balance between these information-processing tendencies.
The instrument consists of 57 items and typically requires about 11 minutes to complete. It is commonly used as a brief self-report screener to support clinical interviewing, psychoeducational formulation, or consultation when cognitive style may influence learning, communication, or problem-solving. The Signaling Systems Ratio Questionnaire was developed by Albert Mehrabian and is generally interpreted in terms of a relative preference for concrete, sensory-affective cues versus verbal-conceptual representations.
