Hello Emma,
Profile synthesis
Your profile is in the average range. You have resources on some dimensions and room for progress on others, which is the most common and balanced profile. The challenge, at this stage, is not to fix "weaknesses" but to direct your energy where it will have the most effect. Your strengths can serve as support to work on the dimensions that are more in the background: progress often comes faster by building on what already works. Deliberate practice — targeting a precise aspect, exercising it, adjusting based on feedback — is more effective here than a general, diffuse desire to improve.
Overall result
Desire mutedYour desire is present but faint. The pathway it expresses through — spontaneous, or in response to context (tenderness, imagination, sensuality) — can be read in the detail of your dimensions below. The responsive pathway is a fully valid way of desiring, very common at this stage.
Your profile at a glance
Detailed analysis
This tendency is discreet in you — here is what it tells about you.
Your desire rarely arises on its own. For many women at this stage, desire no longer sparks spontaneously but **in response to context** — a common way of functioning (responsive desire), **not a lack or a breakdown**.
Your answers place spontaneous desire below average in your current profile. This identifies a concrete area for development: it is not a deficiency but room for progress. Skills of this kind are built through regular practice rather than through sudden changes. Starting with simple, observable exercises, then gradually increasing the difficulty, generally yields better results than overly ambitious goals from the start. The secret lies less in momentary motivation than in regularity: a few minutes repeated often are worth more than a single big isolated effort. It also helps to make progress visible — noting what you do, measuring from time to time — because seeing the path already covered keeps the momentum going. Finally, treat setbacks as information, not failures: they are part of any learning and simply point to where to adjust.
This tendency is present in you — here is what it sheds light on.
Your body is available for desire at times, but fatigue or discomfort often come up.
Your answers place body energy and availability in the average range of your profile. This indicates present foundations that can be strengthened by regular work. At this level, deliberate practice — choosing a precise aspect, working on it, adjusting — is often more effective than a global, undifferentiated improvement. The middle tier is also the one where it is easiest to plateau, because the basics are enough to "get by" without pushing you to progress: stepping slightly out of your comfort zone is what restarts the curve. Set yourself a goal slightly above your current level, enough to stimulate without discouraging, and look for concrete feedback to know whether you are moving forward. It is often from this level that progress becomes the most rewarding, because it shows quickly.
This tendency is discreet in you — here is what it tells about you.
Stress, mental load or worries take up all the room and leave little space for desire.
On mental availability, this level calls for the same reading as detailed above for another dimension of the same intensity (see the analysis above).
This tendency is present in you — here is what it sheds light on.
Certain contexts or moments of closeness rekindle your desire, irregularly.
On context-driven desire, this level calls for the same reading as detailed above for another dimension of the same intensity (see the analysis above).

You are not actively engaging with this topic right now, and that is your right. If the need ever arises, talking about it will always remain possible.
On openness to talking about it, this level calls for the same reading as detailed above for another dimension of the same intensity (see the analysis above).
How your dimensions interact
Your profile shows clear relief without several dimensions rising together: Body energy and availability stands out, 25 points above Mental availability, while the others remain more measured. This reads differently from a picture where several dimensions reinforce one another: here, what is at play seems concentrated rather than diffuse. That is often more tractable — an identified point is easier to work on than a tangled whole — provided it is not treated in isolation: even concentrated, it rests on the rest of how you function.
Your action plan
Right now
- →Spontaneous desire — Choose a precise aspect to work on, as simple and observable as possible (not a global goal).
- →Spontaneous desire — Short regular practice (10-15 min/day) rather than long spaced sessions: regularity builds skill.
- →Mental availability — Choose a precise aspect to work on, as simple and observable as possible (not a global goal).
- →Mental availability — Short regular practice (10-15 min/day) rather than long spaced sessions: regularity builds skill.
- →Openness to talking about it — Choose a precise aspect to work on, as simple and observable as possible (not a global goal).
- →Openness to talking about it — Short regular practice (10-15 min/day) rather than long spaced sessions: regularity builds skill.
- →Body energy and availability — Choose a precise aspect to work on, as simple and observable as possible (not a global goal).
- →Body energy and availability — Short regular practice (10-15 min/day) rather than long spaced sessions: regularity builds skill.
- →Context-driven desire — Choose a precise aspect to work on, as simple and observable as possible (not a global goal).
- →Context-driven desire — Short regular practice (10-15 min/day) rather than long spaced sessions: regularity builds skill.
In the coming weeks
- →Ask for outside feedback (mentor, training, community) to adjust the practice after a few weeks.
In the long run
- →Retake this test in 3 to 6 months to measure your progress. Lasting change is rarely measured over a few weeks.
- →Choose one dimension to develop as a priority rather than all at once: focused effort generally yields better results.
- →Find an adapted practice environment (training, mentor, community, coach): isolated progress is possible but often slower.
- →Document your progression (brief journal, regular check-ins): what is measured gets worked on, and the written trace helps see progress invisible day-to-day.

7-day observation journal
Each day, spot one situation where “Body energy and availability” showed up. Note the automatic thought, the emotion (0–100) and what you did. Then write one more balanced, alternative reading. After 7 days, re-read your notes: the recurring patterns become visible — the first step to change them.

Tip: prioritise licensed/registered professionals and evidence-based therapies (e.g. CBT).
How this report is produced
This report is generated by artificial intelligence from your answers only, structured around recognised clinical models (attachment theory, CBT, Young’s schemas…) cited within the report. No health professional is involved in writing it. It is a self-knowledge tool, not a diagnosis: the analyses are avenues for understanding to weigh against your own experience, and do not replace the assessment of a health professional.
