WHAT THE TEST MEASURES
About This Assessment

Spiritual Meaning Scale Test

This measure assesses perceived spiritual meaning and the extent to which individuals experience a sense of connection and purpose. The Spiritual Meaning Scale is intended to support brief, structured inquiry into how a person derives meaning from life experiences.

Developed by Crystal L. Park, it consists of 14 items and typically requires about 3 minutes to complete. Items focus on subjective meaning-making and felt connection to something larger than oneself, and the content is not limited to religious belief or practice.

In clinical and counseling contexts, the Spiritual Meaning Scale may be used to characterize individual differences in spiritual meaning as a potential resource relevant to coping, resilience, and values-based work. Results are generally interpreted as descriptive self-report information and should be integrated with interview data and other assessment findings.
