I am working on a project that is examining temporal processing abilities in college-aged adults. I am interested in a measure that could capture participant's perceptions of these abilities.
The only one I know of is the Temporal Perceptual Aberration Scale (tPAS). See attached.
i am also interested ito hear the answer to this question
Hi Julia,
Thank you so much for your quick reply to my question! This is a great resource, but, unfortunately, I'm looking for something just a little different. I'm curious how individuals perceive their own temporal processing abilities. For example, if a person has to drive to an appointment, does he or she accurately estimate enough time it will take to drive to the location, park, etc., and still make it to the meeting on time? Does he/she always seem to accurately or not not accurately estimate time (retrospective or prospective). Additionally, if the person has poor time perception abilities, is he/she aware of this?
I feel like I've searched everywhere and haven't found a measure that exactly taps this specific construct. I just wanted to be sure absolutely sure I wasn't missing anything before moving on....
Thanks again for your response! I really appreciate it!
Hi Anne
This field is generically known as temporal cognition and was for a period a key research area in the military AI field. A quick search on google scholar will bring up many thousands of interesting hits
Hi Anne,
Have you looked into the time perspective research by Philip Zimbardo? Not sure if it fits you needs exactly, but the items of his inventory might be helpful.
Dear Anne,
In line with Martina, i suggest you read Zimbardo's research on time perspective theory, especially with regard to the Zimbardo Time Perspective Inventory (ZTPI, see Zimbardo & Boyd 1999 for original reference)*
Here are some suggestions for reading:

Dear Anne,
maybe my research could be somehow helpful. I build a method based on Force Field of Kurt Lewin and adopted it to measure attitudes between sculpture and the responders. The method could be furtherly develop. The object of art played a role for projective stimulus. What would I to suggest, you could make an blank probe experiment with a closed group. I think that 3 to 6 samples taken in a distance of 2-3 days should be enough for a valid outcome. If you would be interested in obtaining more details how the method works please, fell free to contact me.

Take a look at Robert Ornstein's On the Experience of Time. It's an oldie (1970) but a good, thoughtful short read on the topic. It has been a while since I've read it, but I think there's a chance it could be helpful to you.
