WHAT THE TEST MEASURES

About This Assessment

Standardized Questionnaire A-Test - Symptoms and Signs

addiction

alcoholism

This measure is designed to assess an individual’s attitudes toward alcohol use and the perceived personal salience of alcohol-related themes. Standardized Questionnaire A-Test is intended to support rapid, structured clinical inquiry rather than to directly diagnose alcohol dependence.

The instrument includes 26 items and typically takes about 5 minutes to complete. Items are used to characterize the respondent’s subjective stance, level of concern, and degree of involvement with alcohol-related issues, which may inform case formulation, risk discussion, and treatment planning. Standardized Questionnaire A-Test may be useful in screening contexts or early-stage consultations where a brief, indirect indicator of alcohol-related relevance is clinically helpful.
