Select the option that best matches typical reactions and behavior, not rare or extreme situations. Answer all items using the same time frame and standards.
How are results used in practice?
The profile helps clarify which types of aggressive behavior are most characteristic and may contribute to social interaction difficulties. It can guide selection of targeted interventions and monitoring of change over time.

Types of Aggressiveness Questionnaire Test - Symptoms and Signs
Clinicians and researchers may use the Types of Aggressiveness Questionnaire to obtain a brief, structured profile of how aggression may be expressed across different modalities. It is commonly used to differentiate patterns of aggressive responding rather than to provide a single global estimate of aggressiveness.
The measure includes 40 items and typically takes about 8 minutes to complete. Developed by Arnold H. Buss and Mark H. Perry, it is administered as a self-report questionnaire in which respondents rate the degree to which statements describe their reactions and behavior. The Types of Aggressiveness Questionnaire can support clinical formulation, risk discussion, and treatment planning by highlighting relative elevations in specific aggression domains; results should be interpreted in the context of history, current functioning, and other assessment data.
