Post-Traumatic Stress Test: what it measures and how to interpret your score

In brief : Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) can occur following exposure to a traumatic event.

Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) can occur following exposure to a traumatic event. This comprehensive test explores four fundamental dimensions of PTSD: intrusive re-experiencing, avoidance behaviors, nervous system hyperarousal, and persistent negative cognitions. Based on current diagnostic criteria, it allows you to assess the impact of trauma on your daily life and identify the most relevant treatment approaches.

What the test measures

• Intrusive episodes in which the traumatic event is involuntarily re-experienced.
• Efforts to avoid reminders of the trauma (thoughts, places, people).
• Persistent state of alertness and exaggerated startle responses.
• Persistent negative thoughts and beliefs related to the trauma.

How to interpret your score

Your result reads as an intensity, not a diagnosis:

• Low PTSD : Your post-traumatic stress symptoms are low or absent. The event does not appear to have left significant psychological consequences.
• Moderate PTSD : You show moderate symptoms of post-traumatic stress. The event has left traces that deserve attention and support could be beneficial.
• High PTSD : Your post-traumatic stress symptoms are significantly elevated. The trauma impacts several dimensions of your life and specialized therapeutic follow-up is recommended.
• Very High PTSD : Your symptoms indicate severe post-traumatic stress. The trauma has profoundly impacted your functioning. Urgent specialized care is strongly recommended.
