SAMPLE QUESTIONS
Example Questions From the Test
The questions below concern severe, stressful life events. The purpose is to determine whether such events have occurred in your life and, if so, how often and to what extent these experiences are affecting you now. The questionnaire is divided into sets of questions addressing criminal events, natural disasters, and general traumatic situations. It also includes questions about physical and sexual violence or abuse.
When answering, please try to consider all periods of your life. Select “Never” if the event (situation) described has never occurred in your life. If an event has occurred, please use the scale to rate how strongly each event has affected your life during the past year. If a given event (situation) occurred more than once, base your rating on the instance that had the greatest impact on you.

Traumatic Situations Questionnaire (LEQ) Test - Symptoms and Signs
This measure is designed to support a structured review of lifetime exposure to potentially traumatic events. The Traumatic Situations Questionnaire (LEQ) is commonly used to document trauma history and to inform clinical case formulation and research screening.
The instrument includes 38 items and typically takes about 7 minutes to complete. Items prompt respondents to indicate whether specific events have occurred and may be used to summarize overall trauma exposure and guide follow-up assessment as clinically indicated.
The Traumatic Situations Questionnaire (LEQ) was developed by Edna B. Foa and Terence M. Keane. Results should be interpreted in context with interview data, symptom measures, and relevant clinical history.
