LEVEL A · ESTABLISHED SOURCE INSTRUMENT

Study Procrastination Test — MAPS-15

The source instrument has published or official measurement support. This label does not imply that Inward Atlas has created independent norms or validated this particular online administration.

CONSTRUCT

What it measures

A validated 15-item academic procrastination measure for students and self-regulated learning contexts, covering delay, time management, and disconnection while studying.

FORMAT

What you complete

15 scored items across 3 displayed dimensions

SCORING

How the score is made

Declared Likert items are summed after reverse-keying where specified, then transformed to a 0–100 display scale. The display is a response score, not a population percentile, unless an official lookup conversion is explicitly named.

RELIABILITY

Consistency evidence

No reliability coefficient has been estimated from Inward Atlas users for this online administration. Where a source link is provided, consult it for evidence about the original instrument or source scale.

VALIDITY

What the evidence supports

The source instrument has published or official measurement support. This label does not imply that Inward Atlas has created independent norms or validated this particular online administration. Interpretations are limited to the constructs and cautions stated on this page; clinical, hiring, diagnostic, and predictive uses are outside scope.

NORMS

How values should be read

No representative Inward Atlas norm sample is applied. Displayed 0–100 values are transformed response scores, not percentile ranks or claims about comparison with a population.

Limitations shown with the assessment

  • MAPS-15 is an academic procrastination measure; several items explicitly refer to studying, so this result should not be generalized automatically to all work or life productivity.
  • This result is for education and self-reflection and is not a diagnosis of ADHD, depression, anxiety, or any other condition.
  • The 0–100 values are Inward Atlas display transformations of the response scale, not published population percentiles.
  • Original article: González-Brignardello, M. P., & Sánchez-Elvira Paniagua, Á. (2023), International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, 20(4), 3201, CC BY 4.0.

Implementation notes

  • Items 8, 9, 12, and 13 are reverse-scored.
  • The source validation supports a three-dimensional academic procrastination structure in a distance/online university sample.
