WHAT THE TEST MEASURES

About This Assessment

Zuckerman-Kuhlman Personality Questionnaire (ZKPQ-50-CC) Test

structure of personality

This self-report inventory provides a brief assessment of personality traits associated with the alternative five-factor model. The Zuckerman-Kuhlman Personality Questionnaire (ZKPQ-50-CC) is administered as a series of statements endorsed in a yes/no format to yield trait-level scores. It contains 50 items and typically requires about 10 minutes to complete.

The scales are intended to characterize individual differences in domains such as negative emotionality, aggression-hostility, activity, sociability, and sensation seeking, which may be clinically relevant when considering stress response patterns and risk-taking tendencies. The Zuckerman-Kuhlman Personality Questionnaire (ZKPQ-50-CC) may be used in research and applied settings as an adjunct to other assessment data; interpretation should consider the broader clinical context and appropriate norms when available. A reference source is psytests.org (2020).
