Bipolar Test: screening for mood swings
64 questions·10 min·6 dimensions·6 report sections
Good morning,
This test looks at spotting the mood swings associated with bipolar disorder. It records what can be observed period by period: what happens in the high phases, what gets decided there, the tone of the low phases, the rhythm of the swing and what it costs in terms of functioning. The report brings these observations together.
The report opens with a synthesis of what your answers bring out, then analyzes each of the 6 dimensions of the test: what it describes of a way of functioning, and how they answer one another. It sheds light on those answers through clinical reading frameworks, and offers leads to bring alongside what you live. It closes with an action plan over three horizons: what you can try this week, what takes a month, what takes longer. The detail of your answers, question by question, is attached as an appendix.
The test runs over 64 questions and takes about 10 min, for a price of $3.60.
I'd also suggest reading the book I authored, The Practical CBT Guide, to take this reflection further. It's included in the price and downloadable.
