Reviewed by Gildas Garrec, CBT practitioner
Good morning,
This assessment examines side by side episodes that, seen from the inside, seem unconnected: explosive anger, impulsive conduct, intolerance of frustration, irritability, risk-taking, spending, eating, difficulty in delaying, aggression, daily repercussions, readiness to change. The report places each of these registers and pinpoints the tipping point between the urge rising and the act.
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 153 questions and takes about 20 min, for a price of $6.10.
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
Impulse Control Test: Behavior Assessment — a 153-question self-assessment, about 20 min. This assessment looks together at registers of impulsivity that seem unconnected, right through to their repercussions on your daily life. Once finished, you receive a detailed PDF report ($6.10): an interpretation of its 11 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 assessment covers impulsivity in the faces we rarely connect: anger, money, food, driving, speech. It runs through the following registers: explosive anger, behavioral impulsivity, intolerance of frustration, irritability, risk-taking, impulsive spending, eating impulsivity, delay of gratification, aggression, functional repercussions and openness to change. It then looks for what ties them together: the build-up, the trigger, the instant when reverse gear no longer exists. The report locates that tipping point and offers handholds that act on it rather than on willpower: lengthening the delay, altering the environment, spotting the states that leave a person flammable.
About this test

Dimensions assessed
- ●What dominates in your assessment- This section measures no difficulty and produces no level: it gathers your reading of what weighs most in your difficulty controlling yourself, before the assessment details each register one by one.
- ●Explosive anger- Sudden, disproportionate outbursts of anger, hard to contain, sometimes followed by regret.
- ●Behavioral impulsivity- A tendency to act on impulse, without thinking through the consequences or anticipating.
- ●Frustration intolerance- Difficulty tolerating waiting, refusal or obstacles, with a need for immediate satisfaction.
- ●Irritability & reactivity- A tendency to be easily annoyed, tense or on edge, with sharp reactions to everyday stimuli.
- ●Risk-taking & sensation-seeking- Seeking strong sensations and a tendency to take risks without assessing danger (speed, risky behaviors).
- ●Impulsive spending- Compulsive purchases and unconsidered spending to soothe an emotion or on a whim, despite the consequences.
- ●Food impulsivity- Uncontrolled food urges, emotional snacking or binge episodes to manage emotions.
- ●Delay of gratification- The ability to defer immediate satisfaction in favor of a more important long-term goal.
- ●Aggressiveness & acting-out- A tendency to express impulse through verbal or physical aggressiveness, or through acting-out.
- ●Functional impact & regrets- The impact of control difficulties on relationships, work, finances, self-esteem and regrets.
- ●Readiness to Change- Measures your current readiness to acknowledge the impact of this topic on your life and engage in a process of growth.
