CLEAR ANSWERS TO COMMON QUESTIONS

Frequently Asked Questions

Any questions left?

What does this assessment measure?

It screens for patterns in humor use, including active joke-making and reactive appreciation of humor. It also considers whether humor is directed toward the self, others, or a topic, and whether it supports balance or growth.

How long does it take and how many items are included?

Estimated completion time is about 4 minutes. The assessment includes 20 questions.

How should responses be selected?

Select the option that best matches typical behavior rather than an ideal response. Use first impressions and avoid overthinking individual items.

How are results interpreted?

Results describe relative tendencies across humor styles rather than fixed categories. Scores can be used to guide reflection on how humor is expressed and how others’ humor is perceived.

Is this a diagnostic test?

No; it is a self-assessment tool and does not diagnose mental health conditions. Results should be interpreted as descriptive indicators and may be discussed with a qualified professional if needed.

WHAT THE TEST MEASURES

About This Assessment

Humor Style Self-Assessment Test

sense of humor

This self-report measure is designed to characterize individual differences in humor-related behaviors and preferences. The Humor Style Self-Assessment Test provides a brief, structured way to describe how a person tends to use humor and respond to humor in others.

The instrument contains 20 items and typically takes about 4 minutes to complete. Items are intended to capture variation in active humor expression versus more receptive or reactive humor, as well as the typical focus or direction of humor (e.g., toward oneself, others, or specific topics). Guidance for interpretation is based on the framework described by Rod A. Martin.

Results from the Humor Style Self-Assessment Test are best understood as descriptive indicators to support self-reflection or clinical discussion, rather than as a stand-alone basis for diagnosis or high-stakes decision-making. As with other self-report tools, findings should be considered alongside clinical interview data and relevant contextual information.
