Bigorexia Test: exercise dependence and relationship to sport
66 questions·10 min·5 dimensions·up to 17 clinical frameworks·5 report sections
Good morning,
This test looks at the place physical training takes in everyday life: its automatic character, the escalation of what it takes to feel its effect, continuing the practice despite its cost, and what happens when training is prevented. The report situates each of these four dimensions and how they connect with one another.
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 66 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.

QUICK ANSWER
Bigorexia Test: exercise dependence and relationship to sport — a 66-question self-assessment, about 10 min. This test looks at the compulsive use of exercise, the escalation of what it takes to feel an effect, continuing despite the physical and relational cost, and the loss of control when unable to train. Once finished, you receive a detailed PDF report ($3.60): your score on each of its 5 dimensions, a radar chart, up to 17 clinical reading frameworks and a personalized action plan. It is designed to help you know yourself better.
This interactive test looks at physical training, its automatic character, the escalating effort it takes, continuing despite pain or fatigue, the distress of being unable to train, and readiness to change. What the test asks, for example Training, day to day Whether you rearrange your sleep or meal times so nothing encroaches on the moment set aside for training. Whether a day spent without the slightest physical effort leaves you indifferent. What it takes now Whether what used to be enough to make you feel good while training no longer is. Whether the intensity that felt demanding a while ago now feels too easy. Despite the cost Whether an explicit medical recommendation to rest has changed your training programme. Whether an outing or a plan with people close to you has already been turned down so as not to miss a session. When training stops Whether, when a session is cancelled at the last minute, the irritability it leaves passes right away. Whether a day with no physical activity at all, forced by circumstances, causes you no particular discomfort. Readiness to change Whether what you've just described weighs on your life. Whether you want to change the way you function, and whether you believe you're capable of it.
About this test

- ●Continuing despite the cost- The practice kept up despite its physical, medical or relational price.
- ●Loss of control & distress when unable to train- The gap between the intention to cut back and what actually happens, and what being prevented from training leaves behind.
- ●Readiness to change- Your starting position regarding a possible change, measured apart from the rest of the profile.

This test looks at the place physical training takes in everyday life: its automatic character, the escalation of what it takes to feel its effect, continuing the practice despite its cost, and what happens when training is prevented. The report situates each of these four dimensions and how they connect with one another.
The questionnaire explores 4 areas: Compulsive use, Tolerance & escalation, Continuing despite the cost, Loss of control & distress when unable to train. Your answers support reflection, not a diagnosis. A separate module explores readiness to change; it is not another trait of the model presented.
