Now count the results.
0-12 points. Your willpower is not going well. You simply do what is easier and more interesting, even if it may hurt you in some way. You often take your responsibilities carelessly, which can cause various troubles for you. Your position is expressed famous expression“What do I need more than anyone else?” You perceive any request, any obligation almost as physical pain. The point here is not only about weak willpower, but also about the selfishness of your personality. Try to look at yourself with this assessment in mind. Maybe this will help you change your attitude towards others and “remake” something in your character. If you succeed, you will only benefit from this.
13-21 points. Your willpower is average. If you encounter an obstacle, you will take action to overcome it. But if you see a workaround, you will immediately use it. Don’t overdo it, but keep your word. You will try to do unpleasant work, although you will grumble. You will not take on unnecessary responsibilities of your own free will. This sometimes negatively affects the attitude of managers towards you, not with the best side characterizes in the eyes of others. If you want to achieve more in life, train your will.
22-30 points. Your willpower is fine. You can rely on you - you will not let you down. You are not afraid of new assignments, long trips, or those things that confuse others. But sometimes your firm and irreconcilable position on fundamental issues annoys those around you. Strong-willed qualities are very good, but it is also necessary to have such qualities as flexibility, forbearance, and kindness.

Processing and interpretation of results
After filling out the questionnaire, you receive answer keys where you need to transfer your results. In the key table, the “No” sign means the number of the statement in the questionnaire.
In the key table, circle the point in the place where you put the + sign when filling out the questionnaire.
Example: to statement No. 8 you answered “more likely yes than no” and put a “+” sign in the second column in the questionnaire. This means that in the key table against No. 8, circle the number 2.
Sum up the points scored vertically separately for each column. The result is recorded at the bottom of the column. Then add up the results from the first six columns.
The amount is recorded under index B. The result of the seventh column is not included here and is considered separately.
Legend
- C – Value-semantic organization of personality
- O – Organization of activities
- R – Determination
- N – Perseverance
- C – Self-control
- See - Independence
- L – Lie indicator
- B – General indicator characterizing the volitional organization of the individual
Those of you who have an overall low score (B) or a low score on any of the individual factors (C, L, etc.) are advised to pay great attention to self-education; for those who have high these indicators, remember that without constant reinforcement and training, this quality may weaken.
Score and value
0-8 : This volitional quality needs development and training; its underdevelopment prevents a person from achieving his goals.
9-16 : This volitional quality is sufficiently developed.
17-24 : The volitional quality is highly developed and is one of the determining factors in the structure of the volitional organization of the individual. The student’s attention should be drawn to the fact that without sufficient development of other factors, setting some personal goals, ways and means of achieving them may be difficult.
Those who dialed 17-24 scores on the seventh factor (L) (false), they were not sincere enough when answering the questions, so the results obtained do not correspond to the actual state of affairs. Fill out the questionnaire again, assessing yourself more critically.
Overall indicator (B)
0-48 points– strong-willed personality traits need training and development. Serious work on self-education is recommended to you. Special attention You should focus on those factors for which you have the lowest scores.
49-96 points– the volitional qualities of the individual are sufficiently developed.
97-144 points– an indicator of a high level of volitional organization of a person, indicating the ability, with a sufficient degree of awareness and sense of reality, to determine for oneself goals, ways and means of achieving it. Remember that there is always a danger of weakening volitional qualities.

Methodology for studying the volitional qualities of a person.
Goal: to assess the level of development of one’s own volitional qualities: dedication, perseverance and perseverance, courage and determination, initiative and independence, self-control and endurance.
Each Questionnaire (there are five in this method) allows you to diagnose two parameters of the above-mentioned volitional qualities: severity and generalization.
The expression of volitional quality means the presence and stability of the manifestation of its main features.
Generalization means universality of quality, i.e. the breadth of its manifestation in various life situations and types of activities.
Instructions: Listen carefully to each judgment and think about how typical it is for you. Based on this, select the appropriate answer from the five proposed options and put its number in the answer form opposite the number of the corresponding judgment.
Possible answers:
1. It doesn’t happen that way.
2. Perhaps incorrect.
3. Maybe.
4. Probably yes.
5. I'm sure so.

Processing and interpretation of results.
Process the answers using a key that is the same for all five questionnaires.
Key.
Expressiveness of volitional quality | Generalization of volitional quality |
|||||||||||
Number judgments | Reply number | Judgment number | Reply number |
|||||||||
The key identifies two groups of judgments: those diagnosing the severity of volitional qualities and diagnosing the generalization of volitional qualities.
Opposite the judgment number is the number of points (-2, -1, 0, +1, +2) that are awarded for each answer option. These marks are recorded on the answer sheet next to the answer number. Then it is calculated algebraic the sum of points separately for judgments of the severity parameter and the generalization parameter for each volitional quality. To transfer to a positive rating scale, 20 points are added to the total score and the final results are entered at the bottom of the protocol.
Next, you need to present the results obtained graphically. A circle with a diameter of 8 cm is drawn in a notebook. From its center (zero point) 5 radii are drawn, on which divisions from 0 to 40 are applied. Each radius is an indicator of the level of expression of one of the volitional qualities. Then the data from the answer sheet is transferred to the corresponding radii with divisions. Two points are plotted on each radius: the number of points for the expressiveness parameter and for the generalization parameter. The points indicating indicators of the expression of all volitional qualities are connected by one line, and the points indicating indicators of generalization are connected by another. This results in two pentagons located inside a circle (an example is shown in the figure). Based on the graphically presented results, a conclusion is made about the level of expression of each volitional quality according to the parameters of severity and generalization.
The method for processing the results is given at the end of the test.

Now count the results.
0-12 points. Your willpower is not going well. You simply do what is easier and more interesting, even if it may hurt you in some way. You often take your responsibilities carelessly, which can cause various troubles for you. Your position is expressed by the well-known expression “What do I need more than anyone else?” You perceive any request, any obligation almost as physical pain. The point here is not only about weak willpower, but also about the selfishness of your personality. Try to look at yourself with this assessment in mind. Maybe this will help you change your attitude towards others and “remake” something in your character. If you succeed, you will only benefit from this.
13-21 points. Your willpower is average. If you encounter an obstacle, you will take action to overcome it. But if you see a workaround, you will immediately use it. Don’t overdo it, but keep your word. You will try to do unpleasant work, although you will grumble. You will not take on unnecessary responsibilities of your own free will. This sometimes negatively affects the attitude of managers towards you and does not characterize you from the best side in the eyes of others. If you want to achieve more in life, train your will.
22-30 points. Your willpower is fine. You can rely on you - you will not let you down. You are not afraid of new assignments, long trips, or those things that confuse others. But sometimes your firm and irreconcilable position on fundamental issues annoys those around you. Strong-willed qualities are very good, but it is also necessary to have such qualities as flexibility, forbearance, and kindness.
