The child views 15 picture cards and selects the image that feels closest to them for each item. Responses are based on choice rather than reading or writing.

WHAT THE TEST MEASURES

About This Assessment

Child Subjective Self-Regulation Typology Test

autonomy projective self-regulation

This measure is designed to support a brief clinical impression of a child’s perceived self-regulatory style, with attention to autonomy and reliance on external guidance. The Child Subjective Self-Regulation Typology is administered in about 3 minutes and includes 15 items.

Items typically involve developmentally appropriate prompts intended to elicit the child’s subjective preferences and self-management tendencies. Results are used to inform hypothesis generation about self-regulation in everyday contexts (e.g., decision-making, emotional control, behavioral inhibition) and to guide follow-up assessment or intervention planning as indicated. The Child Subjective Self-Regulation Typology is attributed to Roy F. Baumeister, Michael F. Scheier, and Charles S. Carver.
