Adult Separation Anxiety Test
64 questions·10 min·4 dimensions·up to 18 clinical frameworks·6 report sections
Good morning,
This test looks at separation anxiety in adults. It examines three aspects: the state you are in when the distance opens up, the room taken by the anticipation of disaster, and what a decision becomes when it has to be made alone. The report shows when the tension climbs: at the announcement of the departure, at the goodbye itself, or during the absence.
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 64 questions and takes about 10 min, for a price of $3.60.
We'd also suggest reading the book The Practical CBT Guide, to take this reflection further. It's included in the price and downloadable.

This test covers separation, anxiety, sleep, the body, longing, abandonment, anticipation, checking, control, reassurance, independence, loneliness, plans, identity and readiness to change. What the test asks, for example Separation If, in the days before a departure, you already feel overcome by anxiety. If you calmly handle periods when you are far from your loved ones. Anxiety If finding yourself alone, away from your loved ones, makes you anxious even for just a few days. If you fully enjoy your activities when you are away from your loved ones. Sleep If you have trouble sleeping when your partner or a loved one is not present. If sleeping alone when a loved one is away makes the night difficult for you. The body If your body tenses up (racing heart, shortness of breath) as a separation approaches. If a lump of anxiety forms in your throat when saying goodbye to a loved one. Longing If, when hanging up with a distant loved one, you feel a pang that is hard to soothe. If your partner's absence for a few days plunges you into real distress. Abandonment If you fear that your partner will abandon or leave you. If you feel confident about the stability and durability of your relationships. Anticipation If you imagine catastrophic scenarios when a loved one is late. If, when a loved one is late, you stay calm and assume they probably have a good reason. Checking If you check the news or accident reports to make sure none of your loved ones are involved. If you monitor your loved ones' movements to make sure they are okay. Control If you ask your loved ones to inform you of each of their movements to reassure yourself. If, when your loved ones are away, you stay at ease and trust them. Reassurance If you need to be constantly reassured about the feelings of those around you. If you are able to calm and reassure yourself on your own without needing someone. Independence If you find it hard to make decisions on your own, without the opinion of your loved ones. If you feel free to pursue your personal projects even if they take you away from your loved ones. Loneliness If you cannot stand being alone at home. If enjoying moments of quiet solitude is part of your balance. Plans If you give up opportunities (job, travel) if they involve a separation. If an opportunity that would take you away from your loved ones for a month seems hard to imagine. Identity If you change your opinions to match those of your loved ones. If you feel incomplete or worthless when you are not in a relationship or surrounded by others. Readiness to change If you want to change the way you function. If you believe you are capable of growing in this area.
