Reviewed by Gildas Garrec, CBT practitioner
Good morning,
This test gathers what you observe in your teenager: mood and whatever no longer brings any pleasure, withdrawal from family as much as from friends, recent changes in habits, the signals that call for vigilance. The report places these observations side by side.
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 63 questions and takes about 10 min, for a price of $3.60.
We'd also suggest reading the book Adolescence in Crisis, to take this reflection further. It's included in the price and downloadable.

QUICK ANSWER
Is My Teenager Really Struggling? — Parent Test — a 63-question self-assessment, about 10 min. This test brings together what you observe as a parent: your teenager's mood, withdrawal, recent changes and the warning signs. Once finished, you receive a detailed PDF report ($3.60): an interpretation of its 5 dimensions, a radar chart, up to 14 clinical reading frameworks and a personalized action plan. It is designed to help you know yourself better.
This interactive test covers mood, fatigue, pleasure, self-esteem, withdrawal, isolation, loneliness, secrecy, anger, impulses, plans, hope, the future, parenting and readiness to change. What the test asks, for example Mood Whether your teenager seems more downcast than before. Whether their mood has stayed the same from one week to the next. Fatigue Whether they lack the energy for ordinary tasks — showering, taking out the trash. Whether they still have the energy they've always had — they get up, go out, keep going. Pleasure Whether they go to practice and come back without having enjoyed it. Whether they still laugh like before at a show or a family joke. Self-esteem Whether they've called themselves "useless" or "worthless" in front of you. Whether they speak about themselves in harsh terms when describing themselves. Withdrawal Whether they stay shut in their room longer than before. Whether they still tell you bits of their life. Isolation Whether they're gradually drifting away from the people around them. Whether they still see their friends as much as before. Loneliness Whether they've told you they feel alone, even surrounded by people. Whether they still accept invitations they're given. Secrecy Whether they're carrying something they can't manage to tell you. Whether people close to them have told you they were surprised by what they were going through. Anger Whether they get irritated faster, or answer more sharply. Whether their reactions seem out of proportion to what triggers them. Impulses Whether they're taking risks they didn't used to take. Whether they're doing things that don't seem like them. Plans Whether a project that mattered to them has fallen through. Whether an activity that used to fill their week has disappeared from their schedule. Hope Whether they get stuck on the idea that tomorrow could be better, when you talk about what's next. Whether they seem to have given up on things getting better. The future Whether, when you talk about next year, they shut down and change the subject. Whether they've told you that nothing makes sense any more. Parenting Whether, as a parent, you are genuinely worried. Whether the adults around them feel at ease about them. Readiness to change Whether you feel like acting now rather than waiting to see. Whether what you're observing in them is currently weighing on your family life.
About this test
▼
Dimensions assessed
- ●How you read what you observe in your teenager- How you, as a parent, explain what you observe in your teenager, before the test tells you anything at all. This section measures no difficulty and produces no level: it collects a starting reading.
- ●Sadness- Your teenager's mood over the past few weeks, and what they're still able to invest themselves in. The report looks at duration as much as state: a mood passes, a period settles in.
- ●Withdrawal- Your teenager's availability to others, and since when it has changed. This dimension is read as a movement: what matters is the gap with what used to be usual for them.
- ●Behavior change- What has shifted in their habits over the past few weeks. The report takes the variation itself as its focus here, without presuming what it covers.
- ●Warning signs- What your teenager lets show through in words or attitude, and what those around them perceive. The report gives this dimension a distinct reading, without folding it into the others.
- ●Readiness to Change- Your readiness, as a parent, to act now. The report reads it as a matter of timing: what is suggested to you takes into account what you feel able to take on today.

Who is this test for?
▼
Check the introduction for who should answer: an adult, child or teenager. Do not answer on someone else’s behalf if the questionnaire asks for their own perspective.
Can I retake the test later?
▼
Yes, you can retake this test as many times as you wish. Some people take it again after several months to observe how their profile evolves. Each new attempt generates its own report — previous answers are not reused.
What should I do with my results?
▼
The report organises your answers and offers points for reflection. You can discuss it with a professional; it does not replace their assessment or prescribe treatment.
Can people close to me also take it?
▼
Yes. Each person gets their own anonymous, unique report, based on THEIR answers. Comparing profiles within a family or couple can be useful — provided each person takes the test honestly and on their own, without influencing one another during the answers.
