Adapted from Appendix Three of
The Act of Will by Roberto Assagioli. Before taking the questionnaire, it is worthwhile reading Assagioli's book, or at least one or both of the following articles:

The following is the original introduction to the Questionnaire from The Act of Will:
A general questionnaire for self-assessment and self-knowledge is contained in
the chapter on General Assessment in Psychosynthesis, pages 78–84. While
written primarily for therapeutic purposes, it can be used with little
modification for self-actualization and for educational psychosynthesis.
The following Questionnaire on the Will is intended primarily as a self-survey to be
made after reading this book, and can also be of definite value in
psychotherapy and educational settings. It constitutes an important part of the
general assessment, which is a necessary preliminary stage to individual
psychosynthesis. It has specific value and meets a real need—to ascertain the
strengths, weaknesses, and complexities of the will-function. It can serve as a
solid basis for establishing an effective and balanced program for training the
will. Training the will is a lifetime task and requires persistence, patience,
steady intention, and purposiveness. Results come from a conscientiously
applied program, well repaying the effort and making further work increasingly
easy. Written answers to the questionnaire are useful in various ways and can
be profitably renewed at determined intervals, as a check on progress and a
spur to action.
