Multidimensional Jealousy Test
Drawing on the work of Doctors Pfeiffer and Wong, this test maps your experience of jealousy along multiple empirical dimensions. Analyses of Pfeiffer and Wong's work have found the test to have good psychometric properties in the form of high validity and test-retest reliability. Consequently, the test is frequently used for research purposes and in clinical settings, where it has been shown to be relevant not just to a person's jealousy but to their physical health and stress responses as well.

The IDRlabs Jealousy Test (IDR-JT) was developed by IDRlabs. The IDR-JT is based on the work of Dr. Paul T.P. Wong, Ph.D. and Dr. Susan M. Pfeiffer, Ph.D., who authored the paper, "Multidimensional Jealousy.” The IDR-JT is not associated with any specific researchers in the field of personality psychology, clinical psychology, or any affiliated research institutions.
The IDRlabs Jealousy Test was informed by the Multidimensional Jealousy Scale’s criteria for cognitive, emotional, and behavioral apology as published in Pfeiffer, S., & Wong, P. (1989). Multidimensional jealousy. Journal of Social and Personal Relationships, 6, 181-196. Elphinston, Rachel & Feeney, Judith & Noller, Patricia. (2011).
