WHAT THE TEST MEASURES

About This Assessment

Suicidal Personality (SL-19) Test

suicidal risk

This brief self-report measure is designed to support rapid screening of suicide-related thoughts and tendencies. Suicidal Personality (SL-19) provides a structured snapshot of current risk-relevant endorsement patterns to help guide next-step clinical decision-making.

The instrument includes 19 items and typically requires about 4 minutes to complete. Developed by Thomas E. Joiner, it can be used in clinical or counseling settings as an adjunct to interview-based risk assessment and triage.

Suicidal Personality (SL-19) is not a stand-alone diagnostic tool and should be interpreted in context, considering presenting concerns, history, protective factors, and the need for immediate safety planning or referral when indicated.
