Frequently Asked Questions

Any questions left?

What does this questionnaire measure?
It estimates proneness to heightened emotional arousal and instability. It focuses on sudden emotional outbursts, unresolved emotional reliving, tension, unmotivated anxiety, and persistent mood shifts.
How long does it take and how many items are included?
Typical completion time is about 3 minutes. It contains 12 questions.
How should responses be provided?
Answer each item honestly based on typical reactions rather than a single recent event. Do not spend long on any one question; first responses are usually sufficient.
How are results used in practice?
Results support rapid screening of emotional reactivity and help guide further evaluation or intervention planning. They are also used in group research settings when a brief emotional profile is needed.
Does the score provide a diagnosis?
No; the score is an indicator of emotional tendency, not a clinical diagnosis. Clinical decisions should rely on additional assessment and professional judgment.
WHAT THE TEST MEASURES
About This Assessment
Tendency Toward Exaltation Test

Exaltation Proneness Scale Test

This brief self-report measure is designed to screen for a tendency toward intense, rapidly shifting emotional experiences. The Exaltation Proneness Scale provides a quick estimate of emotional excitability and perceived affective instability in everyday functioning.

The instrument consists of 12 items and typically requires about 3 minutes to complete. It may be used as a rapid indicator of prominent emotional reactivity, including sharp affective surges, persistent re-experiencing of unresolved feelings, internal tension and frustration, nonspecific anxiety, and mood variability. Albert Mehrabian is commonly cited as the author.

The Exaltation Proneness Scale is intended for use as a non-diagnostic screening tool and should be interpreted in the context of clinical interview and other assessment data, particularly when elevated emotional responding could reflect situational stress, personality style, or psychopathology.
