About this tool
Sometimes we feel something big without a name for it. Six questions about your body, thoughts and needs point towards sadness, anxiety, numbness, anger or calm, with a short explanation and a gentle idea for what might help. It is not a diagnosis.
Tips for getting the most from it
- Answer by instinct rather than logic.
- Use the result as a starting point for the Emotion Identifier.
- If your feelings are intense or persistent, please talk to a professional.
Frequently asked questions
Can this quiz diagnose a condition?
No. It is a reflection aid. Only a qualified professional can assess mental health.
What if my result is not what I expected?
That is useful information. Notice what surprised you and consider why.
This tool is for reflection and self-awareness, not diagnosis or treatment. If you are struggling, please speak with a doctor or counsellor. If you are in crisis, contact your local emergency number or a crisis line (US: call or text 988; elsewhere: findahelpline.com).
