Humor Style Self-Assessment Test - Symptoms and Signs
This self-report measure is designed to help individuals characterize their typical patterns of humor use and perception. The Humor Style Self-Assessment Test provides a brief structured framework for identifying dominant humor tendencies and how they may function in everyday interpersonal contexts.
Developed by Rod A. Martin, it consists of 24 items and typically takes about 5 minutes to complete. Responses are intended to support reflective understanding of whether humor is more self-directed, other-directed, or topic-focused, and the extent to which an individual tends to generate humor versus primarily respond to others’ humor.
In clinical, coaching, or group settings, the Humor Style Self-Assessment Test may be used to inform discussion of communication style, emotion regulation, and relational dynamics. Results should be interpreted cautiously and integrated with collateral information and clinical judgment rather than used as a stand-alone basis for decision-making.
