Threat Sensitivity Questionnaire Test - Symptoms and Signs
This brief self-report measure is used to assess individual differences in reactivity to perceived threat and stress. The Threat Sensitivity Questionnaire provides a quick index of how a respondent appraises potentially dangerous or aversive situations, which may inform clinical formulation and risk-focused discussions.
The instrument includes 12 items and typically requires about 3 minutes to complete. Items sample perceived sensitivity across a range of threat contexts (e.g., interpersonal conflict, physical safety, or psychological discomfort). Developed by Jeffrey A. Gray, the Threat Sensitivity Questionnaire is commonly used as a screening tool with adolescents and young adults, with results interpreted in conjunction with clinical interview and other assessment data.
