TEOSQThe Task and Ego Orientation in Sport Questionnaire (TEOSQ) can be used to assess whether an individual defines success in a sporting context as mastery (task orientated) or outperforming others (ego orientated). QuestionnaireTEOSQ is a 13 item questionnaire measuring task orientation (7 questions) and the other ego orientation (6 questions). Before completing the questionnaire, the individual is asked to think of a time when they felt most successful in their sport and answer the questions based on this. The answers are indicated on a 5 point scale, where 1 = strongly agree and 5 = strongly disagree. A mean score is calculated for each participant by adding all the scores for all the task orientated questions and dividing by 7 and doing the same for the ego orientated questions but dividing by 6. This gives a mean score between 1 (low) and 5 (high) for each orientation.
