WHAT THE TEST MEASURES

About This Assessment

Hyperthymia Tendency Scale Test

accentuations

This brief self-report measure is used to screen for a tendency toward persistently elevated mood, high activity level, and an optimistic interpersonal style. The Hyperthymia Tendency Scale provides a rapid estimate of hyperthymic traits based on typical patterns of affect and behavior.

The instrument includes 12 items and generally requires about 3 minutes to complete. It is commonly used in clinical intake or research settings as an initial indicator of energetic temperament and mood elevation tendencies, with results interpreted in the context of the referral question and other assessment data. Original authorship is attributed to H. J. Eysenck.

The Hyperthymia Tendency Scale is not intended to establish a diagnosis on its own; elevated scores may reflect a stable temperament or situational factors and should be considered alongside clinical interview findings, history, and measures of mood variability and functional impact.
