The Structure of Temperament Questionnaire (STQ) was proposed by Rusalov in 1989 and subsequently tested in five languages. The questionnaire assesses four temperamental traits (Ergonicity, Plasticity, Tempo, and Emotionality) in three separate areas of activity: physical, verbal-social, and intellectual. The scales are all activity-specific. In 775 Canadian subjects, two temperament tests were compared, both developed on the basis of Pavlovian studies of the nervous system: the activity-specific approach (STQ) and the nonspecific Pavlovian Temperamental Survey (PTS). More significant sex differences were found on activity-specific scales of the STQ than on the nonspecific PTS scales. The pattern of correlations between the STQ scales and the time taken on an experimental task requiring a prolonged and intense word-assessment activity showed stronger correlations with the specific scales of the STQ measuring the dynamic aspects of social-verbal activity, and not with the PTS Strength of Excitation scale, which is based on a "general arousal" concept. The results supported the separation of temperament traits related to three different types of activities and opposed to "general arousal" theories of temperament.
气质问卷结构（STQ）由鲁萨洛夫于1989年提出，随后在五种语言中进行了测试。该问卷在身体、言语社交和智力三个不同的活动领域评估四种气质特征（精力、可塑性、节奏和情绪性）。这些量表都是针对特定活动的。在775名加拿大受试者中，比较了两种基于巴甫洛夫神经系统研究开发的气质测试：特定活动方法（STQ）和非特定的巴甫洛夫气质调查（PTS）。与非特定的PTS量表相比，在STQ的特定活动量表上发现了更显著的性别差异。STQ量表与一项需要长时间高强度单词评估活动的实验任务所花费时间之间的相关模式显示，与测量社交言语活动动态方面的STQ特定量表的相关性更强，而与基于“一般唤醒”概念的PTS兴奋强度量表的相关性不强。结果支持了与三种不同类型活动相关的气质特征的分离，并反对气质的“一般唤醒”理论。
