Adjustable Impulsivity Scale

Impulsivity comes up everywhere: in personality inventories, in clinical screening, in the study of addiction and debt. The Adjustable Impulsivity Scale (Huang et al., 2024) was built by pooling 28 impulsivity measures from ten questionnaires, extracting the single trait they share, and ranking every item by how well it tracks that trait. These are the top 25. Higher scores mean acting on the spur of the moment, saying things you regret and trouble resisting cravings; lower scores mean deliberation and self-discipline. Percentiles compare you with 1,676 adults from the original study.
