The general diagnosis: where to start

If you do not know exactly what concerns you, or if you feel a diffuse malaise without being able to name it, start with the general diagnostic assessment.

Complete psychological assessment

The complete psychological assessment explores 12 dimensions of your mental health in a single session: anxiety, depression, stress, self-esteem, relational quality, life balance, sleep, emotion management, assertiveness, resilience, life satisfaction and cognitive functioning. For whom? Anyone wishing for a global overview. The assessment identifies the areas where a deeper exploration is necessary and directs toward the most relevant specific tests. Duration: 15-20 minutes.

Relationships and attachment: understanding your relational patterns

If your concerns relate to your romantic, family or social life, this category brings together the most relevant tests.

Attachment style test

The attachment style test identifies your profile among the four styles described by attachment theory: secure, anxious, avoidant or disorganized. It is the fundamental test for understanding your automatic reactions in intimate relationships. Recommended if: you repeat the same relational patterns, you are afraid of abandonment, or you have difficulty with intimacy.

Codependency test

The codependency test assesses the degree of emotional dependence in your relationships. It measures separation anxiety, fear of loneliness, self-sacrifice and repetition patterns. Recommended if: you have difficulty being alone, you stay in relationships that make you suffer, or you are often told that you are "too much" in the relationship.

Toxic relationship test

The toxic relationship test helps identify unhealthy dynamics in a relationship: manipulation, control, devaluation, isolation. It distinguishes normal relational difficulties from truly toxic patterns. Recommended if: you doubt the health of your relationship, you feel diminished by your partner, or your loved ones are worried about you.

Couple communication test

The couple communication test assesses the quality of your exchanges: active listening, expression of needs, conflict management, capacity for compromise. It identifies the destructive communication patterns described by John Gottman (the "four horsemen": criticism, contempt, defensiveness, stonewalling). Recommended if: arguments are frequent and not resolved, you feel you are not heard, or communication has deteriorated over time.

Other relational tests

• Jealousy test: distinguishes normal jealousy from pathological jealousy

• Fear of abandonment test: assesses the intensity and impact of this fear on your life

• Empathy test: measures your cognitive and affective empathic abilities

• Manipulation detection test: identifies manipulation techniques in your relationships

• Post-breakup test: assesses your psychological state after a separation

Anxiety and stress: measuring and understanding your anxiety

Anxiety is the most frequent reason for consultation in psychotherapy. These tests cover the different forms of anxiety recognized clinically.

GAD-7: generalized anxiety

The GAD-7 is the reference test for measuring generalized anxiety -- those excessive and diffuse worries that concern multiple subjects. It is the first test to take if you describe yourself as someone "anxious" in general. Recommended if: you worry constantly, you have difficulty controlling your concerns, you are tense or irritable for no apparent reason.

Social anxiety test

The social anxiety test assesses the fear of others' judgment in social situations. It distinguishes normal shyness from clinical social phobia. Recommended if: you avoid social situations, you dread public speaking, or you are paralyzed at the idea of being observed.

Burnout test

The burnout test measures the three dimensions of professional exhaustion according to Maslach's model: emotional exhaustion, depersonalization and reduced personal accomplishment. Recommended if: you feel empty after work, you are cynical toward your colleagues or clients, or you feel like you no longer accomplish anything.

Other anxiety and stress tests

• Panic attack test: frequency and intensity of panic attacks

• Post-traumatic stress test: PTSD symptoms after a traumatic event

• Separation anxiety test: excessive fear of being separated from one's attachment figures

• Health anxiety test: excessive concerns about one's health (hypochondria)

• Performance anxiety test: fear of failure in performance situations

• Stress management test: assessment of your coping strategies

• Chronic stress test: impact of prolonged stress on your health

Personality: exploring your functioning

Personality tests do not seek to "classify" you in a box but to shed light on your natural functioning tendencies.

Available tests

The Personality category offers assessments relating to different traits and dimensions of personality, based on scientifically validated models. These tests are particularly useful for better self-knowledge and understanding your modes of functioning on a daily basis. Recommended if: you want to know yourself better, you seek to understand why you react in certain ways, or you wish to improve your professional and personal relationships.

ADHD and attention: assessing your attentional abilities

ADHD tests

The ADHD tests assess the symptoms of attention disorder with or without hyperactivity in adults. Adult ADHD is underdiagnosed: it is estimated that 60% of ADHD children retain significant symptoms into adulthood. Recommended if: you have difficulty concentrating, you procrastinate chronically, you are easily distracted, or you feel like you never finish what you start.

OCD and rumination: obsessive thoughts and repetitive behaviors

OCD tests

The OCD and rumination tests measure the frequency and impact of obsessive thoughts and compulsive behaviors. They distinguish normal rituals (checking that the door is closed) from clinically significant symptoms. Recommended if: you have recurrent intrusive thoughts, you practice rituals you cannot stop, or your rumination occupies more than an hour a day.

Phobias and addictions: fears and dependencies

Available tests

The Phobias and addictions category covers specific phobias, behavioral dependencies (gambling, screens, shopping) and eating disorders. Recommended if: you avoid certain situations irrationally, you have lost control over a behavior (gambling, alcohol, screens), or your relationship with food is a source of suffering.

Childhood wounds: the impact of the past

Trauma and childhood tests

The childhood wounds tests explore the impact of early experiences on adult functioning: neglect, parentification, relational trauma, parenting styles. Recommended if: you feel that your childhood still influences your adult life, you had an absent or abusive parent, or you repeat family patterns.

Personal development: your strengths and areas for progress

Rosenberg self-esteem scale

The self-esteem test is the most validated scale in the world for measuring the worth you grant yourself. 10 items, 2 minutes, and a score whose interpretation is solidly documented. Recommended if: you doubt your worth, you systematically compare yourself to others, or your failures define you more than your successes.

Self-confidence test

The self-confidence test assesses your belief in your abilities in different areas of life. It differs from self-esteem: one can have confidence in one's competencies without esteeming oneself globally. Recommended if: you are afraid to make decisions, you avoid responsibilities, or you minimize your successes.

Other development tests

• Psychological resilience test: ability to bounce back after hardship

• Relational intelligence test: social and emotional competencies

• Emotion management test: emotional regulation

• Life balance test: distribution between the different life spheres

• Motivation and values test: what drives you and guides your choices

• Personal leadership test: influence and autonomy abilities

• Global development assessment: overview of your strengths

How to choose the right test: decision tree

"I'm not doing well but I don't know why"

Start with the diagnostic assessment. It covers 12 dimensions and will direct you toward the most relevant specific tests.

"I have problems in my relationship"

Three complementary tests: attachment style (to understand your patterns), couple communication (to identify dysfunctions) and toxic relationship (if you doubt the health of the relationship).

"I'm anxious all the time"

Start with the GAD-7. If the score is high, complete with the test specific to your type of anxiety: social, health or performance.

"I lack self-confidence"

First take the self-esteem test (Rosenberg), then the self-confidence test. The two measure different things and the recommendations will be adapted.

"I think I have ADHD"

Take the ADHD tests. If the score is significant, consult a professional for a complete neuropsychological assessment. Online tests do not substitute for a clinical diagnosis for ADHD.

"My childhood still haunts me"

Explore the childhood wounds tests, then the attachment style test to understand the impact on your current relationships.

Limits and precautions

What the tests are

Screening and self-knowledge tools, developed from scientifically validated scales. They provide a reliable indication of your functioning in a given domain.

What the tests are not

A clinical diagnosis. Only a mental health professional can make a formal diagnosis after a complete clinical assessment. A high score on a test indicates a probability, not a certainty.

When to consult a professional

Consult if:

• Your scores are in the "severe" ranges on several tests

• The results confirm a suffering you have felt for more than 6 months

• Your daily functioning is significantly impacted (work, sleep, relationships)

• You have suicidal thoughts (contact your local suicide prevention helpline)

Frequently asked questions

How many tests can I take in a single session?

There is no technical limit, but we recommend not exceeding 3 to 4 tests per session to avoid the attentional fatigue that can distort answers. Space out the sessions if you wish to cover several areas.

Are the tests really free?

Yes. All 68 tests are accessible for free and without registration. The results are immediate and detailed.

Are my answers anonymous?

No personal data is collected. Your answers are not stored on our servers. The calculation of scores is performed locally in your browser.

How often should I retake a test?

Outside of therapeutic follow-up, an interval of 2 to 3 months between two sessions of the same test is recommended. This makes it possible to measure a significant evolution while avoiding the item memorization effect.

Are the tests adapted to all cultures?

The scales used have been validated in many countries and cultures. However, some norms (thresholds, averages) can vary depending on the populations. Our interpretations are based on standard norms.
