PTSD Test: Reflect on Your Responses After Trauma
54 questions·12 min·7 dimensions and a separate readiness-to-change module·up to 20 clinical frameworks·6 report sections
Reviewed by Gildas Garrec, CBT practitioner
Good morning,
This test is for someone who has been through a difficult event, whatever it was, and who still feels its effects. It will not ask you to recount what happened: it looks at what comes back, what gets avoided, what has changed in the way you see things, what your body does, and what it changes day to day. It does not establish a diagnosis and does not replace a consultation. If what happened is still ongoing, or if thoughts of no longer being here are present, the report reminds you of emergency resources.
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 54 questions and takes about 12 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.
If you have a question about your report, write to us at contact@psychologieetserenite.com: a psychotherapist will reply within 48 hours.

QUICK ANSWER
PTSD Test: Reflect on Your Responses After Trauma — a 54-question self-assessment, about 12 min. Describe what comes back, what you avoid and what has changed after a difficult event, without having to tell the story. No diagnosis. Once finished, you receive a detailed PDF report ($3.60): an interpretation of its 7 dimensions, a radar chart, up to 20 clinical reading frameworks and a personalized action plan. It is designed to help you know yourself better.
This interactive test looks at the images that come back, sleep, the body's reactions, what gets avoided, what has changed in how you see things, watchfulness, everyday life, and readiness to change. What the test asks, for example What comes back Whether an image of what happened surfaces in the middle of an activity, without anything having called it up. Whether a sound, a smell or a phrase is enough to take you straight back to the moment of the event. What I avoid Whether you take a detour so as not to pass through a place that reminds you of what happened. Whether, when a conversation gets near the subject, you change the subject or leave the room. What has changed in how I see things Whether, when you think back to what happened, what you tell yourself is something like: I should have done differently. Whether an activity that used to give you pleasure now leaves you without any reaction. What my body does Whether, in a public place, you locate the exits and watch who comes in, without having decided to. Whether your body stays tense after an ordinary day, as though after an effort. What it changes day to day Whether an everyday task, shopping, paperwork or housework, seems out of reach. Whether, since the event, you have let go of plans that mattered to you. Readiness to change Whether what you have just described weighs on your everyday life. Whether you want to change the way you get through this period, and believe you are capable of it.
About this test
▼
Dimensions assessed
- ●Your reading of what you're living through- How you make sense of what you have been living through since the event, before the test tells you anything about it. This section measures no difficulty and produces no level: it records a starting point.
- ●Where things stand now- The current state of what happened, as you describe it. This section measures nothing; it helps read the rest of the report in light of your situation, and it points you toward help if the danger has not passed.
- ●What comes back- The unbidden return of what happened: images, bodily sensations, the feeling of reliving it. Remembering and reliving are not the same thing: this dimension describes what forces itself on you, not what you think about it.
- ●What gets avoided- What you keep at a distance so as not to be pulled back to what happened: places, people, topics, thoughts, emotions. Avoidance brings relief in the moment; this dimension looks at what it costs day to day.
- ●What has changed in how you see things- How what happened may have changed the way you see yourself, other people and the future, along with what has dimmed or drifted away. Some answers in this dimension touch on dark thoughts: the report reads them with particular care.
- ●What your body does- The body's state of alert: startling, constant watchfulness, sleep, irritability, concentration. These are protective reactions that stay switched on once the danger has passed.
- ●What it changes day to day- What these effects concretely change in your days: outings, tasks, relationships, decisions, plans. This is the dimension that shows the practical weight of what you are going through.
- ●Readiness to change- This dimension situates a starting point rather than a trait: the weight of what you have just described in your days, what you would like to see shift, and what you feel able to carry through.

This test is for someone who has been through a difficult event, whatever it was, and who still feels its effects. It will not ask you to recount what happened: it looks at what comes back, what gets avoided, what has changed in the way you see things, what your body does, and what it changes day to day. It does not establish a diagnosis and does not replace a consultation. If what happened is still ongoing, or if thoughts of no longer being here are present, the report reminds you of emergency resources.
The questionnaire explores 7 areas: Your reading of what you're living through, Where things stand now, What comes back, What gets avoided, What has changed in how you see things, What your body does, What it changes day to day. Your answers support reflection, not a diagnosis. A separate module explores readiness to change; it is not another trait of the model presented.
