Aggression Self-Assessment
Explores how anger, frustration, and aggression may show up in your thoughts, feelings, and behaviour.
What this assessment explores
If you've ever wondered why anger seems to hit harder than you'd like – or why conflict follows you in ways that feel difficult to control – this assessment gives you a structured way to look at that. It explores how aggression shows up for you across four dimensions: the physical, the verbal, the emotional, and the way you tend to think about others. It's built on the BPAQ, a widely used measure in both community and clinical settings.
See the original scaleWhat you can expect
There are 29 questions, and they'll ask you to reflect on how you tend to think, feel, and behave. Some might feel uncomfortable to sit with – and that's okay. Honest answers will give you the most useful picture.
The questions touch on things like:
- Physical aggression – your tendency toward physical acts when frustrated or provoked
- Verbal aggression – how you engage in arguments or confrontations
- Anger – how quickly frustration builds, and how intensely it shows up
- Hostility – feelings of suspicion or ill will toward others
Your responses give you a clearer picture of where aggression shows up most strongly for you – and which areas might be worth exploring further.
