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.
If you have a question about your report, write to us at contact@psychologieetserenite.com: a psychotherapist will reply within 48 hours.

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, energy, pleasure, self-image, withdrawal, friends, habits, the future and readiness to change. What the test asks, for example Mood Whether, day to day, you see more dejection than before on your teenager's face. Whether your teenager's mood has stayed the same from one week to the next. Energy Whether your teenager lacks the energy for ordinary tasks: showering, taking out the trash. Whether your teenager keeps their usual energy: getting up, going out, keeping going is no effort for them. Pleasure Whether your teenager goes to practice and comes back without having enjoyed it. Whether your teenager still laughs like before at a show or a family joke. Self-image Whether your teenager speaks about themselves in harsh terms when describing themselves. Whether your teenager has called themselves "useless" or "worthless" in front of you. Withdrawal Whether your teenager stays shut in their room longer than before. Whether your teenager still tells you bits of their life. Friends Whether your teenager is gradually drifting away from the people around them. Whether, outside school, your teenager keeps seeing their friends as much as before. Habits Whether, when it comes to sleep, your teenager sleeps neither more nor less than before. Whether your teenager is taking risks they didn't used to take. The future Whether, when you talk about the future, your teenager shuts down and changes the subject. Whether, when you talk about what's next, your teenager struggles with the idea that tomorrow could be better. Readiness to change Whether what you have just described weighs on your life as a parent. Whether you want to take action to better support your teenager in this area.
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 your wish to act now.
Reference frameworks and authors
This questionnaire was designed to help you take stock. It does not reproduce a published validated scale and is not a clinical assessment: its results are a starting point for reflection, to discuss with a professional if needed.

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.
