Today’s post includes an arrested development questionnaire that may help highlight potential indicators in those impacted by arrested development.
Creating and using a questionnaire to determine if someone may have signs of arrested development should be approached with caution, as mental health assessments should ideally be conducted by trained professionals.
However, it can be helpful to use an arrested development questionnaire as an initial screening tool, to learn more about whether professional help is needed.
Arrested Development: Background
Arrested development, a concept rooted in developmental psychology, refers to a delay or disruption in a person’s psychosocial growth.
It can manifest in various areas of life, such as emotional intelligence, social skills, or cognitive abilities, and may present in phases.
Understanding this phenomenon can provide valuable insights into human behavior and offer opportunities for personal growth.

Arrested Development Questionnaire and Self-Assessment
As noted above, it’s essential to keep in mind the limitations of self-assessment and the complexity of psychological conditions as you use this questionnaire.
- Personal Development:
- Have you experienced difficulty in achieving personal or professional goals?
- Do you feel stuck in certain areas of your life with little progress or growth?
- Have you struggled to adapt to new situations or make positive changes in your life?
- Emotional Development:
- Do you find it challenging to identify and regulate your emotions?
- Have you noticed difficulties in forming or maintaining meaningful relationships?
- Do you often feel overwhelmed by stress or unable to cope with challenges effectively?
- Social Development:
- Have you experienced difficulties in social interactions or forming connections with others?
- Do you feel a sense of isolation or disconnection from society?
- Have you struggled to develop or maintain healthy boundaries in relationships?
- Cognitive Development:
- Do you find it difficult to learn new skills or acquire new knowledge?
- Have you noticed challenges in problem-solving or decision-making?
- Do you feel like your cognitive abilities are not progressing as expected for your age?
- Behavioral Development:
- Have you exhibited patterns of behavior that seem to be repetitive or stuck in the past?
- Do you find it challenging to adapt to changing circumstances or new experiences?
- Have you noticed a lack of personal growth or increased self-awareness over time?
Please note that this arrested development questionnaire is not a diagnostic tool and should not be used as a substitute for professional evaluation or treatment.
If you or someone you know is experiencing challenges related to personal, emotional, social, cognitive, or behavioral development, it is highly recommended to seek support from a qualified mental health professional for a comprehensive assessment and appropriate interventions.
