WHAT THE TEST MEASURES
About This Assessment

Transcendent Future Time Perspective Inventory (TTPI) Test

This self-report measure assesses an individual’s orientation toward a transcendent future and the extent to which beliefs about an afterlife are integrated into time perspective. The Transcendent Future Time Perspective Inventory (TTPI) is intended to supplement broader assessments of temporal orientation by capturing attitudes related to post-mortem existence.

The instrument includes 10 items and typically requires about 2 minutes to complete. Items are rated using an agreement-based response format, yielding an index of transcendent future time perspective that may be interpreted alongside other time-orientation constructs in clinical or research contexts.

The Transcendent Future Time Perspective Inventory (TTPI) may be used to inform case formulation where existential concerns, meaning-making, values, or spiritually inflected future expectations are clinically relevant, and it can support group comparisons in research when administered with appropriate psychometric safeguards.
