This test evaluates manifestations of generalized anxiety: excessive worry, tension, concentration difficulties, and physical symptoms.
The report opens with a synthesis of your profile, then analyzes each of the 6 dimensions of the test: what it reveals about how you function, and how they answer one another. It sheds light on your profile through clinical reading frameworks, and offers leads to bring alongside what you live rather than conclusions. 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 frameworks this test draws on are set out further down, under « About this test ».
It has 64 questions and takes about 15 min, for a price of $4.00. The report is immediately actionable.
I'd also suggest reading the book I wrote, Overcoming Anxiety and Stress — 230 pages — to take this reflection further. It's included in the price and downloadable.

Daily-life situations this test explores
To help you picture what to expect before you start, here are the concrete contexts the Generalized Anxiety Disorder Test (GAD) sheds light on. This is not the list of questions (you discover them when you start the test) — it is the life situations it assesses.
Before an important meeting
Your thoughts in the hours before: negative scenarios, rumination, body symptoms, urge to control everything.
In the evening, at bedtime
Difficulty turning off your mind, anticipating tomorrow, fragmented sleep, night awakenings with invasive thoughts.
In transport or crowds
Body tension, urge to flee, suffocating feeling, heightened scanning of the environment, fear of losing control.
At any body signal
Heightened sensitivity to palpitations, a headache, a passing pain: fear of a hidden illness, repeated checks.
