About This Assessment

Self-Rated Patience Scale Test

willpower traits

This self-report measure assesses perceived patience and impulse control in everyday contexts. The Self-Rated Patience Scale provides a brief screening of how individuals appraise their capacity to tolerate frustration, manage irritation, and remain composed under pressure.

It contains 18 items and typically requires about 4 minutes to complete. Developed by Philip L. Ackerman and Walter Mischel, the Self-Rated Patience Scale may be used in clinical or coaching settings as an adjunct to broader assessment, supporting discussion of self-regulation and coping in situations involving discomfort, delay, or stress. Results should be interpreted in context and, when needed, considered alongside additional measures and clinical judgment.
