How the Scales are Structured

example score

-1/18

Balance of Modal Evaluations (BoME)

Measures how balanced and integrated a person’s evaluations are in relation to the present moment, reflecting perceived integrity and authenticity of “here and now” experience.

Imbalanced

Near-balanced

Highly balanced

-18 – -1.6: Imbalanced | -1.6 – 5.3: Near-balanced | 5.4 – 18: Highly balanced

A score of -1 falls in the near-balanced range, suggesting mostly integrated present-moment perception with some mild unevenness in modal evaluations.

example score

-2/26

Rationalization of Time Periods of Life Realization (RoTPoLR)

Measures how meaningful and structured a person’s time perception is, including planning, using past experience, and realistically estimating time resources.

Less structured

Transitional

Well structured

-26 – -0.6: Less structured | -0.6 – 8.5: Transitional | 8.6 – 26: Well structured

A score of -2 falls in the Less structured range, suggesting planning and time-resource estimation may be less consistent and more situational right now.

example score

-1/22

Emotional Fixation on Events (EFoE)

Measures emotional fixation on time-related events and a tendency toward illusory time perception (rumination/daydreaming versus uncertainty about the future).

Low fixation

Balanced/neutral

High fixation

-22 – -4.3: Low fixation | -4.2 – 5.5: Balanced/neutral | 5.6 – 22: High fixation

A score of −1 falls in the balanced/neutral range, suggesting generally even emotional involvement with time and minimal tendency toward past-focused rumination or illusory preoccupation.

WHAT THE TEST MEASURES

About This Assessment

Temporal Modalities of Life Realization Test

temporal perspective

This measure assesses an individual’s subjective organization of time and how it is integrated into day-to-day functioning and life planning. The Temporal Modalities of Life Realization is intended to characterize time perspective (e.g., relative orientation to past, present, and future) and perceived qualities of personal time such as continuity, event density, and differentiation of time intervals.

The instrument consists of 29 items and typically requires about 6 minutes to complete. Responses are used to inform clinical formulation and goal setting by clarifying temporal focus and perceived time structure, which may be relevant to concerns such as planning, follow-through, and perceived time pressure. Scoring and interpretation procedures should follow the available guidance for the Temporal Modalities of Life Realization; the authors are Philip G. Zimbardo and John N. Boyd.
