CLEAR ANSWERS TO COMMON QUESTIONS

Frequently Asked Questions

Any questions left?

What does this questionnaire measure?

It measures how strongly a person feels connected to their civic community and the meanings used to describe that connection. It reflects patterns such as engagement, responsibility, pride, or detachment.

How long does it take to complete and how many items are included?

Completion typically takes about 3 minutes. The questionnaire includes 15 items.

How should responses be selected?

Select the option that best matches typical thoughts and behavior, not an ideal response. Answer each item even if certainty is low.

What do the results represent?

Results provide a profile of civic identity patterns across several facets rather than a single score. They indicate relative strengths and potential areas of distance from civic involvement.

Can this questionnaire be used to diagnose mental health conditions?

No, it is not a diagnostic instrument. Results should be interpreted as descriptive information and, when needed, considered alongside other assessment data.

WHAT THE TEST MEASURES

About This Assessment

Civic Identity Types Test

civil consciousness identity

This brief self-report measure assesses how an individual experiences their role, belonging, and connection to the broader civic community. Civic Identity Types is designed to support a rapid screening of perceived civic affiliation and related attitudes.

The instrument includes 15 items and typically requires about 3 minutes to complete. Items sample multiple facets of civic identification, which may range from engagement and commitment to detachment or low investment; results are generally interpreted as descriptive indicators rather than diagnostic findings.

Civic Identity Types (James Marcia) may be used in research and applied settings to characterize patterns of civic self-concept, inform group-level programming, and guide further assessment when questions arise about social integration, motivation for civic participation, or perceived barriers to involvement.
