WHAT THE TEST MEASURES
About This Assessment
Spiritual orientation of personality, SOP Test

Spiritual Orientation Inventory Test - Symptoms and Signs

This self-report measure is designed to assess an individual’s orientation toward spiritual values and ideals in everyday life. The Spiritual Orientation Inventory provides a structured way to evaluate the extent to which spiritual or moral priorities are reflected in attitudes and typical behavior.

The measure, developed by R. L. Piedmont, consists of 40 items and typically takes about 8 minutes to complete. Results are commonly used to support clinical formulation and reflective discussion by describing the respondent’s reported emphasis on spiritual meaning, ideals, and related personal commitments; the Spiritual Orientation Inventory is not intended to serve as a stand-alone diagnostic instrument.
