Online version of the Schmieschek Questionnaire (Schmieschek Fragebogen), a self-report test, based on the concept of personality accentuations proposed by the German psychiatrist Karl Leonhard. According to this theory, certain character traits can become particularly pronounced (“accentuated”) while still remaining within the range of normal personality functioning. Such traits are not considered pathological, but they may influence how a person behaves, reacts emotionally, and interacts with others.
The questionnaire, developed by German psychologist H. Schmieschek in 1970, measures ten accentuation types, such as demonstrativeness, stuckness, pedantry, excitability, hyperthymia, dysthymia, anxiety, exaltation, emotiveness, cyclothymia, helping to identify dominant character tendencies and typical patterns of emotional and behavioral responses.
Although Leonhard's theory and the Schmieschek questionnaire originated in Europe, they are relatively little known and practically unused in contemporary English-speaking psychology. In contrast, the method has remained widely known and frequently applied in Russia and former Soviet Union countries, particularly in educational, counseling, and applied psychological settings.
The Schmieschek Questionnaire has never been officially published in English. Presented here is a translation from German original.
