Purpose of Assessment & Function(s)/Area(s) Assessed

The Occupational Questionnaire is a self-report, non-standardized assessment that documents a client’s typical weekday in 30-minute increments, evaluating each activity for type (work, daily living work, recreation, or rest), participation ability level, importance, and enjoyment.

Administration

No specific timed criteria but may take under 20 minutes. Can be given as an interview or for the client to fill out on their own time.

User Qualifications

OTs

Materials Required

Scoring Procedure

Likert scale that is has a number for each category of each daily activity, a rating of what type of activity (work, daily living work, recreation, or rest), participation ability level, importance, and enjoyment every 30 minutes from wake up to sleep. There is no specific scoring to this assessment as it is criterion-referenced where the OT can use their clinical reasoning to interpret the findings and use it to make goals.

Psychometrics/Standardization (norms, reliability/ studies)

As the Occupational Questionnaire is a screening tool there are no psychometrics to this tool but is used to help enhance building the occupational profile and understanding what impacts a person in their daily activities.

Strengths of Assessment

Can be used to help build an occupational profile and see if other areas of occupation may be affected in a person's regular day.

Weaknesses of Assessment

No specific timeframe and is subjective to the client's interpretation of their day so this may not give as much information as what may be expected.
