Buss Perry Aggression Questionnaire (BPAQ)

The Buss Perry Aggression Questionnaire (BPAQ) is a widely recognized psychological self-assessment tool designed to measure various facets of aggression in individuals. Developed by Arnold Buss and Mark Perry, this questionnaire evaluates aggression across four key domains: Physical Aggression, Verbal Aggression, Anger, and Hostility. By understanding your patterns of aggressive behavior and emotional responses, you can gain meaningful insight into your emotional regulation, interpersonal relationships, and stress triggers.

Why Take This Test?

Taking the BPAQ can help you:

• Understand your emotional and behavioral tendencies related to anger and aggression.
• Identify areas of personal growth, particularly in managing conflict and communication.
• Support mental well-being by bringing awareness to aggressive thoughts or behaviors.
• Use it as a baseline for personal development or therapy discussions.
  This assessment can be especially useful for those seeking to improve emotional intelligence, enhance relationships, or explore self-awareness more deeply.
