WHAT THE TEST MEASURES
About This Assessment
Schizotypal Personality Questionnaire, SPQ Test

Schizotypal Personality Questionnaire (SPQ) Test

This self-report measure screens for schizotypal personality features, including unusual perceptual experiences, odd beliefs or thinking, interpersonal difficulties, and social anxiety. The Schizotypal Personality Questionnaire (SPQ) is completed as a series of statements endorsed by the respondent and is commonly used in clinical and research settings.

The instrument was developed by Adrian Raine. It includes 74 items and typically requires about 14 minutes to complete.

Scores are used to characterize the relative level of schizotypal traits and to inform decisions about whether additional assessment may be warranted; it is not, by itself, a diagnostic determination. The Schizotypal Personality Questionnaire (SPQ) is generally interpreted in the context of clinical history and other assessment data.
