Intolerance of Uncertainty Scale Test - Symptoms and Signs
This self-report measure assesses an individual’s tendency to respond negatively to uncertain situations and outcomes. The Intolerance of Uncertainty Scale is commonly used to characterize uncertainty-related distress and its potential relevance to anxiety and worry processes. It was developed by Michel Dugas and Robert Ladouceur.
The instrument consists of 24 items and typically takes about 5 minutes to complete. Respondents rate statements describing cognitive appraisals, emotional reactions, and behavioral responses when faced with ambiguity or unpredictable events. Scores from the Intolerance of Uncertainty Scale can be used to support clinical formulation and to monitor change over time when uncertainty intolerance is a treatment or coaching target.
