WHAT THE TEST MEASURES
About This Assessment
Type and level of professional self-realization Test

Professional Self-Realization Type and Level Questionnaire Test - Symptoms and Signs

This questionnaire is designed to support a structured appraisal of how an individual experiences and evaluates their professional development and role fit. The Professional Self-Realization Type and Level Questionnaire is intended to capture perceived alignment between one’s work and personal values, meanings, and abilities, as well as the subjective sense of satisfaction and coherence in occupational choice.

The measure includes 51 items and typically takes about 10 minutes to complete. Content generally focuses on reflections about the process of occupational choice, the person’s sense of self in the professional role, and perceived fulfillment in day-to-day work. In practice, the Professional Self-Realization Type and Level Questionnaire may be used to inform career counseling or professional development discussions by identifying areas of congruence and potential strain (e.g., reduced fit or meaning), with interpretation guided by clinical judgment and relevant contextual information. The instrument is attributed to Donald E. Super.
