WHAT THE TEST MEASURES

About This Assessment

Self-Confidence Scale (RAS) Test

assertiveness self-confidence

This measure is designed to assess self-confidence and related assertive behavior in everyday interpersonal situations. The Self-Confidence Scale (RAS) uses self-report statements to sample typical social interactions and comfort with expressing opinions and setting boundaries.

It contains 30 items and typically takes about 5 minutes to complete. Developed by Rathus, S., it is commonly used as a brief screening tool to inform clinical interviewing, case formulation, and treatment planning when assertiveness, social anxiety, or interpersonal effectiveness are relevant concerns.

Scores from the Self-Confidence Scale (RAS) should be interpreted in the context of the individual’s developmental level, cultural and situational factors, and other assessment data; it is not intended as a stand-alone diagnostic instrument.
