It is designed to help you know yourself better.
This test covers the body, hypervigilance, anxiety, checking, appearance, screens, reassurance, relief, anticipation, rumination and readiness to change. What the test asks, for example The body If you are constantly attentive to the sensations in your body. If, when your body is working normally, you simply do not think about it. Hypervigilance If your attention focuses on a part of your body as soon as a sensation appears there. If you feel able to live calmly with a few bodily sensations without worrying about them. Anxiety If you often think about the possibility of being seriously ill. If a pain or unusual sensation does not worry you unduly. Checking If you repeat self-examinations several times to be sure. If you can let an unusual sensation pass without needing to check anything. Appearance If you repeatedly check the appearance of your moles or your skin. If you examine yourself in the mirror looking for physical changes. Screens If you compulsively search the internet for information about illnesses. If you do without searching for information about your health. Reassurance If you seek a second or third medical opinion to feel reassured. If you do not need your loved ones to reassure you about your health. Relief If checking relieves you temporarily, but the worry quickly returns. If seeing that your body is fine reassures you lastingly, without your needing to check again. Anticipation If, when you hear about an illness, you immediately think you might have it. If, when you have a headache, you first put it down to an ordinary cause. Rumination If your health concerns take up a large part of your thoughts. If your imagination builds dramatic medical scenarios from a simple sensation. Readiness to change If you want to change the way you function. If you believe you are capable of growing in this area.
