Buss Perry Aggression Questionnaire (BPAQ-29) | Aggression Test

Background

The Buss Perry Aggression Questionnaire (BPAQ-29) is a self-report psychological assessment designed to measure aggression-related thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. The scale evaluates physical aggression, verbal aggression, anger, hostility, irritability, suspiciousness, and emotional reactions associated with aggressive tendencies.

The BPAQ-29 was developed to assess different dimensions of aggression that may influence emotional functioning, interpersonal relationships, conflict behavior, and emotional control. Higher scores may indicate stronger aggressive tendencies, increased anger, hostility, and difficulties managing aggressive reactions.

Procedure

Read each statement carefully and select the response that best describes your personality, thoughts, feelings, or behavior.

Participation

This assessment is intended for educational, research, and self-reflection purposes only. It is not designed to provide a formal clinical diagnosis. Results should be interpreted cautiously and within the broader context of psychological and emotional functioning.

Scoring & Interpretation

Each item is rated using a five-point characteristic scale. Higher scores indicate stronger aggression-related tendencies including anger, hostility, verbal aggression, and physical aggression.
