WHAT THE TEST MEASURES

About This Assessment

Superstitiousness Questionnaire Test - Symptoms and Signs

irrational thinking superstition

This self-report measure is designed to assess endorsement of superstitious beliefs and related ritualized behaviors. The Superstitiousness Questionnaire provides a brief index of how strongly an individual relies on omens, luck-related practices, or supernatural explanations in everyday life.

Developed by Stuart A. Vyse, it consists of 29 items and typically requires about 6 minutes to complete. Responses can support clinical formulation by characterizing irrational belief patterns that may influence decision-making, emotional responses, and coping behaviors.

The Superstitiousness Questionnaire is most appropriately interpreted as an indicator of the degree to which superstitious thinking and rituals are present, and it may be used to guide discussion in individual or group settings when exploring culturally shaped beliefs and habit patterns.
