Superstitiousness Questionnaire Test

For readers wondering whether luck, omens, or small rituals influence their choices, the Superstitiousness Questionnaire Test offers a structured way to examine that pattern. As an assessment of beliefs about luck, it suits anyone who notices rules around important events, misfortune, lucky objects, or supernatural explanations. The result describes the strength of this tendency in everyday life, rather than judging character or intelligence.

What This Assessment Explores

Across the items, the questionnaire examines whether a person treats omens, coincidences, objects, numbers, or bodily signs as influences on future events. It also asks about protective actions such as avoiding certain behaviors, carrying lucky objects, checking astrology, or performing rituals before important occasions. This makes the test a magical thinking questionnaire about everyday choices.

The single Superstitiousness Scale runs from 0-87: Low 0-38 reflects less frequent endorsement, while High 39-87 reflects stronger endorsement. The result describes a tendency, not intelligence or character.

The items fall into these recurring aspects:

• Omens indicate whether ordinary events are read as warnings or predictions.
• Rituals show reliance on actions intended to prevent misfortune or secure success.
• Supernatural agency reflects belief that unseen forces can affect outcomes.
• Lucky rules capture habits used to create control around uncertainty.

Methodology and Evidence Base

Each statement uses a four-point frequency scale, generally ranging from Never to Always or Constantly. The items ask about beliefs and actions rather than factual knowledge, so answers should reflect usual beliefs and actions instead of what seems rational or socially desirable. The result is reported on one overall scale; no separate subscales or point-by-point scoring formula are specified.

The questionnaire is conceptually consistent with the Superstitiousness Inventory by Abitov and Akbirova (2021), but is not an adaptation or direct reproduction of that instrument. The Paranormal Belief Scale developed by Tobacyk and Milford (1983) offers a related measurement tradition for supernatural and superstitious beliefs. Vyse’s psychological account adds a framework involving uncertainty, coincidence, perceived control, and learned rituals.

Taken as a supernatural belief measure, the result can reveal themes for reflection, but a score is influenced by culture, current concerns, memory, and willingness to report honestly. This online version has no stated population norms or clinical thresholds, so it cannot establish a diagnosis or explain why a person holds these beliefs.
