General Psychological Assessment: What It Measures and How to Read It


To explore this topic further, discover my book: Overcoming Anxiety and Stress(PDF €4.99)

This general assessment is your ideal starting point for better understanding how you function psychologically. In 60 questions, it explores 12 fundamental dimensions of your mental health and provides you with a complete map of your strengths and areas for improvement. The results will point you towards the most relevant specialised tests for deepening your self-knowledge.

In the article that follows, I explore the big personality traits. If you recognise yourself in this theme, I designed a Big Five (OCEAN) test that helps you take stock of your five main personality traits. 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: General Psychological Assessment → — Map your 12 key dimensions in 60 questions and see at a glance your strengths and your areas of fragility.

What the test measures

  • Level of anxiety and worry in daily life.
  • Signs of sadness, loss of interest and loss of energy.
  • Self-perception and self-worth.
  • Level of perceived stress and ability to manage it.
  • Quality of interpersonal relationships.
  • Quality and regularity of sleep.
  • Attention and focus abilities.
  • Ability to identify and manage your emotions.
  • Ability to bounce back from difficulties.
  • Overall level of life satisfaction.
  • Ability to manage frustration and anger.
  • Overall sense of wellbeing and fulfilment.

How to read your score

The result reads as an intensity, not as a diagnosis:

  • Good mental health: Your overall psychological profile is positive. Your scores reveal a good mental balance with strengths across most of the dimensions assessed. You have solid psychological resources for facing life's challenges.
  • Adequate mental health with areas for improvement: Your overall mental health is adequate, but some dimensions show fragilities. These areas of vulnerability deserve your attention in order to prevent a deterioration of your wellbeing.
  • Weakened mental health: Your mental health is significantly weakened across several dimensions. The difficulties you are encountering are probably affecting your quality of life, your relationships and your daily functioning.
  • Mental health in distress: Your psychological profile reveals significant suffering across many dimensions. This situation requires prompt professional care to prevent worsening and to begin a healing process.
