These quizzes and self-assessments are not intended to be used as a diagnostic tool. Only a trained medical professional, such as a doctor or mental health professional, can accurately diagnose mental health conditions.

Personality Quiz
Get deeper insight into who you are – your behaviors, emotions, thought patterns, and motivations – with this fun personality quiz.
Burnout Quiz: Am I Burned Out?
Burnout is a state of mental or physical exhaustion due to continued exposure to stress. It is unlikely that the condition will go away on its own.
If your quiz results show a high likelihood of burnout, consider speaking with a mental health professional for support.
Self-Esteem Quiz
For some, self-esteem doesn’t come naturally. The first step to developing higher self-esteem is becoming aware of where your insecurities lie and how they manifest. You can view self-esteem as a skill that you can improve upon and develop.
This quiz can be a good starting place for communicating with a mental health professional about the ways you may have trouble with self-esteem and what specifically you want to work on.

Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a common neurodevelopmental condition that can affect how you think, process emotions, and respond to your environment.
This quiz can help you determine if you may need the support of a mental health professional, and help them determine if you may benefit from an ADHD evaluation. It does not take the place of a professional diagnosis.
Eating Disorders Quiz: Could I Have an Eating Disorder?
Eating disorders can affect anyone, regardless of race, gender identity, sexuality, or body weight, and can affect your mental and physical health.
This quiz can help you familiarize yourself with the signs of disordered eating, and help you figure out if you may need professional support. It does not take the place of a professional diagnosis.
Loneliness Quiz
Are you feeling isolated or disconnected from others? A mental health professional can offer support and suggestions to reduce feelings of loneliness.
This quiz can help you decide if you may need extra support, and help a mental health professional make recommendations.
What Is Your Attachment Style?
Attachment refers to how you think and relate to others, especially in romantic relationships. The way you navigate relationships throughout life can be determined by how you bonded with your caregivers as a child.
It is possible to change attachment styles. If your attachment style is causing you some distress and affecting your well-being, consider speaking to a mental health professional for guidance and support.
Counseling is a gift you give yourself.
It’s an important part of taking care of yourself.
