Self-Efficacy for Exercise (SEE) Quiz — Measure Your Confidence to Maintain Fitness
Likert options measuring confidence in maintaining exercise under challenging conditions.
The Self-Efficacy for Exercise (SEE) quiz is a concise, evidence-informed assessment designed for the Fitness and Exercise category to help you measure your confidence in maintaining regular physical activity under common challenging conditions. This SEE test evaluates exercise confidence, workout adherence, motivation, and resilience across everyday barriers such as fatigue, vacation, busy schedules, and poor weather. Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned exerciser, the results provide insight into your exercise self-efficacy and practical steps to improve long-term fitness habits.
By answering a brief set of Likert-style questions focused on real-world obstacles, you will get a clear numeric score that reflects your current exercise self-efficacy. Use this score to identify strengths, target areas for improvement, and track progress over time. The SEE quiz is optimized for reliability and ease-of-use, making it ideal for personal reflection, coaching, and integration into wellness programs focused on physical activity, motivation, and behavior change.

Your SEE score is calculated by summing the numeric values assigned to your selected responses across all questions. Higher totals indicate greater exercise self-efficacy and a higher likelihood of adherence to an exercise routine.
