Self-Control and Self-Monitoring Test

Do you act spontaneously or do you purposely control and consciously adjust your behavior? The following test was developed to evaluate self-monitoring potential. Self-monitoring, as defined for the purposes of this test, is a personality trait that refers to the ability to regulate our behavior to accommodate the social situations we find ourselves in. This is an essential skill that can prevent many social missteps, hurt feelings, and embarrassment.

This self-monitoring test is made up of two types of questions: scenarios and self-assessment. For each scenario, answer according to how you would most likely behave in the situation. For the self-assessment questions, indicate the degree to which the given statements apply to you. In order to receive the most accurate results, please answer each question as honestly as possible.

This test is intended for informational and entertainment purposes only. It is not a substitute for professional diagnosis or for the treatment of any health condition. If you would like to seek the advice of a licensed mental health professional you can search Psychology Today's directory here.
