Welcome on the website of the Hetero-Anamnestic Personality (HAP).

Originally this questionnaire was intended for personality research in elderly care. With the help of the results, care can be better tailored to the specific needs of the patient. Because this person is often no longer able to complete a questionnaire himself, this is done by an informant such as the partner or a child. The HAP has been proven to be a useful informant questionnaire for adults of all ages. Because there is a need for such a questionnaire in English-speaking countries, the HAP has been translated. To determine whether the translation is appropriate, the questionnaire is presented to a large number of people.

We would appreciate it if you would like to contribute to the creation of an English version of the HAP. The idea is for you to think about someone you know well and then answer the questions. The age of the chosen person (further referred to as the observed person) must be at least 18 years old. It will take 10 to 15 minutes to complete the list.

It is not possible to interrupt the filling in and continue it later.

Anonymity is fully guaranteed: the results cannot be traced back to a person in any way.

You can find more information on our website www.hapsite.nl/english/ and the results will be published in due course. We thank you in advance for your cooperation.

After filling in some additional questions you can start the questionnaire by a mouseclick on the green button.
