UPPS Impulsive Behavior Scale (UPPS)
The UPPS Impulsive Behavior Scale is designed to assess different aspects of impulsive behavior. It is based on a multifactorial model of impulsivity that identifies four main dimensions: urgency, lack of perseverance, lack of premeditation, and sensation seeking. It helps psychologists better understand how these different impulsivity factors are represented in an individual.

Scoring & interpretation
Each item is rated on a Likert scale. Scores are calculated for each of the four dimensions based on the responses to the corresponding items. High scores in a dimension indicate more pronounced impulsivity in that specific area.
