WHAT THE TEST MEASURES

About This Assessment

Self-Concept Clarity Scale (SCCS) Test

self-concept

This self-report measure assesses the clarity, coherence, and perceived stability of an individual’s self-concept. The Self-Concept Clarity Scale (SCCS) is commonly used in clinical and research settings to characterize how consistently a person experiences and describes their sense of self (Heine, Katz, Campbell, & Trapnell).

The instrument consists of 12 items and typically requires about 3 minutes to complete. Respondents rate their agreement with statements reflecting certainty about self-beliefs, internal consistency, and stability over time; higher scores generally indicate greater self-concept clarity.

In applied contexts, the Self-Concept Clarity Scale (SCCS) may support case formulation by identifying diffuse or unstable self-representations that can be relevant to emotional distress and interpersonal functioning. Results are typically interpreted as a dimensional indicator and considered alongside clinical interview findings and other measures.
