linkThis is an interactive version of the Protestant Work Ethic Scale. Introduction The Protestant Work Ethic is a concept coined by the sociologist Max Weber in 1905. He hypothesized that Northern European countries were more economically productive than Southern European ones because their Protestantism promoted the values of labor and discipline, in contrast with Catholicism which valued ceremony and confession. The PWE was originally conceived as a property of culture, but in the 1960s some psychologists tried to study it on an individual level. The Protestant Work Ethic Scale was published in 1971 by Herbert Mirels and James Garret for use in this line of research. Procedure The test has 19 statements of opinion that you must rate on a five point scale of how much you agree with each. It should take most people 4-6 minutes to complete.

Protestant Work Ethic Scale resultsYour score was 41 (range: 19 to 95). Higher scores indicate more agreement with the Protestant Ethic. The average score of college students using this scoring scale is 61 (McHoskey, 1994). The scores of people who have taken this test here on this website are somewhat higher. Their distribution is graphed below (n=4,139). PWE researchGreenberg (1977) found that level of PWE affect how a person responds to negative feedback. He found that when people with high PWE received negative feedback on their work, they worked harder next time and the opposite was true for individuals with low PWE.
