Teacher Self-Efficacy Test
How confident are you in your own teaching? 12 original questions on three areas, based on the teacher self-efficacy concept of Tschannen-Moran & Woolfolk Hoy (2001): student engagement, instructional strategies and classroom management. It is not the questionnaire from that paper. A self-reflection tool for anyone who teaches, at school, university, in training or in coaching.

How does the test work?
The test consists of 12 statements. For each one, indicate how much you agree using a 5-point scale — from "strongly disagree" to "strongly agree." There are no right or wrong answers — respond honestly and spontaneously.
Completing the test takes approximately 3 minutes. You can take it on a computer or phone — your answers are saved automatically.
How to interpret results?
After completing the test, you will receive detailed results for each dimension along with interpretation. Your scores are compared against population norms, so you can see how you compare to others.
Scientific basis
The questions in this test are our own: we wrote them for PsychoProfil.pl, inspired by the published research or model named at the top of this page. It is not a validated psychometric instrument, so use the result for self-reflection, not as a measurement.

Frequently asked questions
Is this test free?▼
Yes, the test is fully free — every question, the scoring and the result with a dimension-by-dimension interpretation. You see your result immediately after the last answer, with no registration, e-mail or card required. An extended PDF report is available as an optional purchase, but you do not need it to see and understand your score.
How long does it take to complete?▼
It takes about 3 minutes — the test has 12 questions, each answered with a single click on a scale. There is no time limit, you can go at your own pace, and a progress bar shows how much is left. You get the most accurate results by answering spontaneously rather than deliberating over single items.
Are the results accurate?▼
This is not a validated psychometric instrument. The questions are our own, inspired by the published research or model named at the top of this page, and they have not been through a validation study. Treat the result as a starting point for self-reflection — it is educational and does not replace an assessment or diagnosis by a professional.
Can I save my results?▼
Yes. Right after the test you can save the result to a free account in one click — just an e-mail; sign-in uses a 6-digit code sent to it, no password. Saved results build your psychological profile, where you can compare dimensions across different tests on one chart and revisit results any time. Without an account you still see your result, and this browser can return to it for 90 days.
