CLEAR ANSWERS TO COMMON QUESTIONS

Frequently Asked Questions

Any questions left?

What does this questionnaire measure?

It screens for neuropsychological tension linked to anticipating difficulties, including worry, fear, fatigue, and bodily discomfort. It focuses on observable signs rather than general mood.

How is it completed?

Rate each of the 30 statements based on how strongly the sign is present at the moment. Answer all items using the same rating rule.

How long does it take?

Most respondents finish in about 6 minutes. The time may vary slightly depending on reading speed and concentration.

How are results interpreted?

Scores are grouped into three levels: mild, moderate, and excessive tension. Higher levels suggest greater strain and may indicate a need for additional support or monitoring.

Can results be used to make a diagnosis?

No; it is a brief screening tool and does not diagnose a mental disorder. Results should be considered alongside clinical interview, context, and other measures when needed.

WHAT THE TEST MEASURES

About This Assessment

Scale of Neuro-Psychological Tension, NPT Test

Neuropsychic Tension Scale Test

neuronalization

This self-report measure is designed to assess current subjective strain related to anticipated stressors. The Neuropsychic Tension Scale provides a brief snapshot of perceived tension and associated discomfort that may be relevant to clinical screening and initial case formulation.

The instrument consists of 30 items and typically takes about 6 minutes to complete. Items ask respondents to rate the presence or intensity of common indicators of tension; results are generally interpreted as reflecting relative severity (e.g., lower to higher levels) and may be useful for monitoring change over time.

The Neuropsychic Tension Scale is attributed here to Richard S. Lazarus. Scores should be considered within the broader clinical context and interpreted alongside interview data and other assessment findings.
