Frequently Asked Questions
What does this questionnaire measure?
It measures the general sense of control over actions and decisions. It also assesses feelings of acting deliberately and taking responsibility for outcomes.
How is it structured?
It includes 13 statements rated on a brief response scale. Scores reflect two components: reduced control and involvement, and active, responsible engagement.
How long does it take to complete?
Most respondents finish in about 3 minutes. Completion time may vary based on reading speed and attention.
What time frame should be considered when answering?
Responses should reflect typical experience across situations rather than a single event. Answers should be based on general patterns, not rare exceptions.
How should results be interpreted?
Higher scores on reduced control indicate more frequent feelings of lacking control, while higher scores on active engagement indicate a stronger sense of acting intentionally. Results are intended for screening and research and should be interpreted alongside other information.

Sense of Agency Scale (SoAS) Test - Symptoms and Signs
This self-report measure is used to assess perceived control and personal authorship over one’s actions and decisions. The Sense of Agency Scale (SoAS) provides a brief index of how individuals experience themselves as the agent of their behavior across situations.
It consists of 13 items and typically takes about 3 minutes to complete. Item content is commonly organized to reflect both reduced agency (e.g., diminished control or involvement) and enhanced agency (e.g., feeling active and responsible for one’s actions). The Sense of Agency Scale (SoAS), by Daniel M. Wegner and Patrick Haggard, is used in research and clinical contexts to support characterization of subjective agency and related self-experiential processes.
