WHAT THE TEST MEASURES
About This Assessment

Time Perception Scale Test

This measure assesses individual differences in perceived time constraints and everyday temporal appraisal. The Time Perception Scale is intended to characterize how a person experiences and evaluates time demands in routine situations.

The instrument consists of 20 items and typically takes about 4 minutes to complete. It can be used to support clinical or coaching discussions about patterns such as deadline sensitivity, perceived time pressure, and subjective time as a resource versus a limitation. The Time Perception Scale was developed by John T. Fraser.
