Fantasy Proneness Coefficient (QF) Test

People who want a structured way to examine their own imaginative life may use the Fantasy Proneness Coefficient (QF) Test to clarify how often imagination arises and how vivid, rich, or varied it feels. It is suited to readers seeking a structured fantasy profile without treating imagined content as a direct account of conduct.

What This Assessment Explores

Results describe themes and activity. Items cover observation, self-exposure, submission, dominance, aggression, variety, and feelings.

• Sadistic (0-8) measures fantasies of dominance, power, or aggression; Low 0-3, Moderate 4-4, High 5-8.
• Polymorphic (0-8) measures varied fantasies without one dominant theme; More uniform 0-3, Mixed 4-4, Highly polymorphic 5-8.
• Fantasy Proneness Coefficient (0-27) summarizes fantasy activity: low scores indicate infrequent or inhibited fantasizing; high scores indicate vivid, rich, diverse imagination; Low 0-5, Moderate 6-20, High 21-27.

Methodology and Scientific Basis

Questions use mixed forced-choice formats rather than one agreement scale. Respondents choose scenarios, report frequency, or select feelings and preferences; this structure samples fantasy content from several angles. This sexual fantasy questionnaire produces a profile from selected responses, not a single global judgment. The scoring is profile-based: answers contribute to displayed dimensions, but the ranges do not reveal how many points an option adds.

The methodology is conceptually consistent with the Sex Fantasy Questionnaire (Wilson, 1988) and with Arndt, Foehl, and Good’s multidimensional study, which examines distinct fantasy themes. The questionnaire is not presented as an adaptation of these works.

Results are best read as a snapshot of self-reported imaginative life and thematic variety. The displayed bands are descriptive categories for this questionnaire. Responses may shift with mood, memory, self-awareness, and social desirability, so the outcome should be considered alongside personal context rather than used to infer conduct from imagery alone.
