Freudly really helped me discover parts of my personality I hadn’t noticed before. It strengthened the areas where I needed to grow and made me feel more grounded and confident in the parts that already worked well.

CLEAR ANSWERS TO COMMON QUESTIONS
Frequently Asked Questions

Any questions left?

What does this questionnaire measure?
It measures reactivity, defined as the intensity, speed, and expressiveness of emotional and behavioral responses. Results indicate how prone a person is to strong reactions under everyday demands.
Who can complete it and in what settings is it used?
It is suitable for students and other groups where quick screening of temperament-related response style is needed. It is commonly used in educational and psychological assessment contexts.
How long does it take and how many items are included?
Estimated completion time is about 2 minutes. The questionnaire includes 10 statements.
How should responses be selected?
Each statement should be rated based on typical behavior, not rare exceptions. Responses should reflect usual functioning over time rather than a single recent event.
How should the results be interpreted?
Higher scores suggest quicker and more intense reactions; lower scores suggest slower or less intense responding. Scores should be interpreted with other information and not used as a standalone diagnosis.
WHAT THE TEST MEASURES
About This Assessment
Rating Scale for Measuring Reactivity Test

Reactivity Rating Scale Test

This brief self-report measure is designed to assess individual differences in emotional and behavioral responsiveness to common situations. The Reactivity Rating Scale provides a rapid estimate of reactivity characteristics that may be relevant to understanding temperament-related response patterns in educational or other applied settings.

The instrument includes 10 items and typically takes about 2 minutes to complete. Items are presented as statements describing response intensity and speed, and respondents indicate how well each statement reflects their typical reactions. Scoring yields an index of reactivity that may inform clinical impressions or support planning, and should be interpreted in the context of other assessment data and relevant history.

The Reactivity Rating Scale is attributed to A. Mehrabian.
