Smell deficits are caused by a wide range of medical, neurological, and psychiatric disorders. The SIT, also known as the University of Pennsylvania Smell Identification Test (UPSIT), incorporates microencapsulation technology and sound psychometric principles into a simple test that provides a rapid, easy means of quantifying smell functioning.

  • Focuses on the ability to identify a number of odors at the suprathreshold level
  • Each of four test booklets contains 10 stimuli for smell. For each stimulus, the respondent chooses from four options.
  • Normative data were collected from nearly 4,000 individuals of all ages.
  • Test-retest reliability exceeds .90.

Note: We recommend that you store this product in a cool, dry place and use it within 3 months of purchase to ensure test integrity.
