Reviewed by Gildas Garrec, CBT practitioner
Good morning,
This test looks at depressive symptoms observed over the last two weeks. It examines four aspects: the tone of the mood, pleasure, the thoughts that keep coming back, and what the body signals — sleep, energy, appetite. The report brings these elements together and describes their intensity.
What you receive — a report written from your answers: what stands out, what sustains it, and where to start. This week, this month, later on.
How it is built — each axis is analyzed on its own, then cross-read with the others, through clinical reading frameworks. Your detailed answers are attached as an appendix. See an example report
The test runs over 63 questions and takes about 10 min, for a price of $3.60.
We'd also suggest reading the book Overcoming Anxiety and Stress, to take this reflection further. It's included in the price and downloadable.
If you have a question about your report, write to us at contact@psychologieetserenite.com: a psychotherapist will reply within 48 hours.

This test looks at depressive symptoms observed over the last two weeks. It examines four aspects: the tone of the mood, pleasure, the thoughts that keep coming back, and what the body signals — sleep, energy, appetite. The report brings these elements together and describes their intensity. This interactive test covers mood, pleasure, sleep, appetite, energy, guilt, rumination, self-esteem, anticipation, isolation, activity, organization, effort and readiness to change. What the test asks, for example Mood If a low-grade sadness stays with you from morning to evening, whatever you're doing. If good news told to you in person still gets a genuine reaction out of you. The taste for things If an activity you used to enjoy has been set aside for a while, and you haven't gone back to it. If a pleasant moment planned for the coming days creates anticipation in you. Thoughts If, when it's your turn to speak in a group, what you tell yourself is: I have nothing useful to add. If, after completing a task successfully, you genuinely give yourself credit for it. The body If you wake up with no energy to start the day, with nothing to explain it. If, in the late afternoon, you still have enough energy for the rest of your day. Readiness to change If what you're going through has a real impact on your everyday life. If you believe you're capable of growing in this area.
About this test
▼
Dimensions assessed
- ●Your reading of what you're going through- The way you explain what you've been feeling lately, before the test tells you anything about it. This section measures no difficulty and produces no level: it captures a starting reading, and none of the four proposed answers is more correct than another. Your answer is picked up and discussed in the section of the report devoted to you.
- ●Depressed mood- The background tone of your days, read for its steadiness rather than its low points. The report looks at whether this tone still follows events, or whether it has become detached from them.
- ●Anhedonia- Your current capacity to feel pleasure, distinguished from your capacity to want it. These two mechanisms often become dissociated from each other, and the report keeps them separate.
- ●Cognitive symptoms- Two sides brought together here: the content of what you tell yourself about yourself, and the mental tool you have available to think it through. The second often recovers before the first.
- ●Somatic symptoms- The bodily part of what you are going through: sleep, appetite, the pace of your movements. These markers are useful to the report because they often shift before your felt experience does.
- ●Readiness to Change- This section measures a disposition, not a difficulty: where you currently stand in front of a possible change, between the awareness you have of it and the confidence you give yourself.

Why take this test?
▼
This test looks at depressive symptoms observed over the last two weeks. It examines four aspects: the tone of the mood, pleasure, the thoughts that keep coming back, and what the body signals — sleep, energy, appetite. The report brings these elements together and describes their intensity.
The questionnaire explores 5 areas: Your reading of what you're going through, Depressed mood, Anhedonia, Cognitive symptoms, Somatic symptoms. Your answers support reflection, not a diagnosis. A separate module explores readiness to change; it is not another trait of the model presented.

Your reading of what you're going through
The way you explain what you've been feeling lately, before the test tells you anything about it. This section measures no difficulty and produces no level: it captures a starting reading, and none of the four proposed answers is more correct than another. Your answer is picked up and discussed in the section of the report devoted to you.
Depressed mood
The background tone of your days, read for its steadiness rather than its low points. The report looks at whether this tone still follows events, or whether it has become detached from them.
Anhedonia
Your current capacity to feel pleasure, distinguished from your capacity to want it. These two mechanisms often become dissociated from each other, and the report keeps them separate.
Cognitive symptoms
Two sides brought together here: the content of what you tell yourself about yourself, and the mental tool you have available to think it through. The second often recovers before the first.
Somatic symptoms
The bodily part of what you are going through: sleep, appetite, the pace of your movements. These markers are useful to the report because they often shift before your felt experience does.
Readiness to Change

Yes, you can retake this test as many times as you wish. Some people take it again after several months to observe how their profile evolves. Each new attempt generates its own report — previous answers are not reused.
What should I do with my results?
▼
The report organises your answers and offers points for reflection. You can discuss it with a professional; it does not replace their assessment or prescribe treatment.
Can people close to me also take it?
