WHAT THE TEST MEASURES
About This Assessment
TEMPS-A Temperament Questionnaire Test

Temperament Evaluation of Memphis, Pisa, Paris, and San Diego Autoquestionnaire (TEMPS-A) Test - Symptoms and Signs

affect
structure of temperament

This self-report measure evaluates enduring affective temperament traits that may inform clinical understanding of mood reactivity and emotional style. The Temperament Evaluation of Memphis, Pisa, Paris, and San Diego Autoquestionnaire (TEMPS-A) was developed by Hagop S. Akiskal, Gabriele Savino, and Jules Angst.

It consists of 50 items and typically takes about 10 minutes to complete. Respondents endorse statements that best describe their usual patterns, yielding profile information across several temperament dimensions commonly described as hyperthymic, cyclothymic, irritable, and dysthymic.

The Temperament Evaluation of Memphis, Pisa, Paris, and San Diego Autoquestionnaire (TEMPS-A) is used in both clinical and research settings to support screening and case formulation, and to help characterize temperament-related risk or resilience factors relevant to mood spectrum presentations. Results are descriptive and are interpreted in the context of interview data, history, and other assessment findings.
