WHAT THE TEST MEASURES

About This Assessment

Will Questionnaire Test - Symptoms and Signs

willpower traits

This self-report measure assesses volitional characteristics as they present in everyday goal-directed behavior and persistence. The Will Questionnaire is intended to support a structured appraisal of how an individual initiates tasks, sustains effort, and manages obstacles during pursuit of personally relevant goals.

The instrument consists of 62 items and typically requires about 12 minutes to complete. Responses can be used to describe relative strengths and limitations in goal setting, follow-through, and self-regulation under challenge. In clinical or counseling contexts, findings from the Will Questionnaire may help guide case formulation, clarify functional barriers to behavior change, and inform monitoring of change over time.
