Zimbardo Time Perspective Inventory

The Zimbardo Time Perspective Inventory (ZTPI) is a psychological tool that measures how individuals perceive and relate to time across five dimensions: past, present, and future. It assesses tendencies such as whether someone is nostalgic about the past, enjoys living in the moment, or is focused on future goals. By understanding these perspectives, the inventory helps explain how time attitudes influence thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, providing insights into personality and decision-making. Ultimately, it offers a structured way to explore how people balance their awareness of past experiences, current enjoyment, and future planning.
