Eating Disorders test: what it measures and how to interpret your score

Eating disorders affect millions of people and can have serious consequences on physical and mental health. This in-depth test evaluates four key dimensions: food restriction behaviors, compulsive eating, body image perception, and compensatory behaviors. It will help you better understand your relationship with food and identify potential warning signs. You can also put this into words with Psy Lounge, an AI specialized in CBT.

In the article that follows, I explore your relationship with food and body. If you recognise yourself in this theme, I designed an eating disorders test that helps you take stock of your relationship with food. It comes with a guide to extend your reflection beyond the results. I also wrote a book on this subject, The Practical CBT Guide, if you would like to go further.

Take the test: Eating Disorders → — This self-assessment explores your relationship with food across restriction, bingeing, body image, and compensatory behaviors, and flags warning signs worth discussing with a professional.

What the test measures

• Tendency to excessively limit or control one's food intake
• Episodes of loss of control around food, binge eating
• Perception and satisfaction regarding one's body and appearance
• Behaviors aimed at compensating for caloric intake (excessive exercise, purging, fasting)

How to interpret your score

Your result reads as an intensity, not a diagnosis:

• Low : Your relationship with food is generally healthy. You do not show signs of an eating disorder.
• Moderate : Certain aspects of your relationship with food deserve your attention. Problematic tendencies are beginning to emerge.
• High : You show significant signs of an eating disorder. Professional support is recommended.
• Very High : You show very significant signs of an eating disorder. Urgent professional care is necessary.
