Humor Orientation Self-Assessment Test - Symptoms and Signs
This self-report measure is designed to evaluate individual differences in how humor is expressed and used. The Humor Orientation Self-Assessment Test provides a brief structured format for examining perceived patterns of humor-related tendencies. It was authored by Rod A. Martin.
The instrument includes 30 items and typically takes about 6 minutes to complete. Responses are intended to support reflective appraisal of humor orientation and may be considered in clinical or psychoeducational contexts as an adjunct to broader assessment.
Interpretation of results from the Humor Orientation Self-Assessment Test should be integrated with relevant clinical history, current functioning, and other available data rather than used as a stand-alone indicator of psychological status.
