WHAT THE TEST MEASURES

About This Assessment

Self-Assessment of Mental States Test - Symptoms and Signs

aggressiveness frustration rigidity uneasiness

In clinical and educational settings, brief self-report tools can support an initial understanding of a person’s current emotional functioning. The Self-Assessment of Mental States Test is a questionnaire intended to capture the respondent’s perceived psychological state across commonly reported dimensions. It includes 40 items and typically takes about 4 minutes to complete.

Items ask about subjective feelings and typical reactions, supporting a rapid, structured review of current distress and behavioral tendencies that may affect day-to-day adjustment and interpersonal functioning. Results from the Self-Assessment of Mental States Test are best interpreted as screening-level indicators to guide follow-up questions, clinical interviewing, or more comprehensive assessment; they are not sufficient as a standalone basis for diagnosis.
