About this test
▼
Executive functions are the higher-order cognitive processes that enable us to plan, organize, regulate our behavior, and achieve our goals. This comprehensive test explores five essential dimensions: planning (ability to develop and follow an action plan), cognitive flexibility (capacity to adapt to change), inhibition (control of automatic responses), working memory (maintenance and manipulation of information in real time), and initiation (ability to start an action). A detailed executive profile will be provided to help you better understand your cognitive strengths and vulnerabilities.
Dimensions assessed
- ●Planning- Ability to develop an action plan, break down a goal into steps, and anticipate obstacles.
- ●Cognitive Flexibility- Capacity to modify one's approach in response to new information, switch between tasks, and adapt to change.
- ●Inhibition- Ability to suppress an automatic response or impulse in order to adopt behavior more appropriate to the situation.
- ●Working Memory- Capacity to temporarily maintain information in memory and manipulate it to accomplish a cognitive task.
- ●Initiation- Ability to start an action autonomously, motivate oneself, and move from intention to action.
Why take this test?
▼
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) affects about 5% of adults but remains widely underdiagnosed. An online screening test is an accessible first step to identify potential signs and decide if a professional evaluation is warranted.
The Executive Functions specifically evaluates 5 key dimensions: Planning, Cognitive Flexibility, Inhibition, Working Memory, Initiation. With 60 carefully crafted questions, it provides a detailed and nuanced picture of your psychological profile in this area. The test takes approximately 20 min and can be completed at your own pace, from any device.
Whether you’re seeking personal development, considering therapy, or simply curious about yourself, this test gives you concrete and actionable results to move forward with confidence.
Daily-life situations this test explores
To help you picture what to expect before you start, here are the concrete contexts the Executive Functions sheds light on. This is not the list of questions (you discover them when you start the test) — it is the life situations it assesses.
In daily life
Keeping a routine, finishing what you start, keeping things organized, finding your belongings, not losing the thread of a day.
At work or in studies
Meeting deadlines, sustaining attention on long tasks, handling several files at once, structuring a complex project.
In conversation
Interrupting, losing the thread, remembering what you just heard, returning to a previous topic, finishing your sentences.
With time and body
Estimating how long a task really takes, anticipating travel time, starting a dreaded task, calming inner restlessness.
The actual questions are not shown here: you discover them when you start the test (free up to question 5).

Who is the Executive Functions for?
▼
This test is designed for any adult wishing to better understand their functioning in this area, whether out of curiosity, as part of a self-knowledge journey or to prepare a conversation with a professional. It is not a clinical diagnostic tool and does not replace a specialist consultation.
Can I retake the test later?
▼
Yes, you can retake the Executive Functions 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?
▼
Your report offers a clinical reading of your profile with concrete recommendations. You can use it as material for personal reflection, to open a conversation with someone close to you, or take it to a professional (psychologist, therapist, doctor) to enrich the consultation with a structured view of your dimensions.
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.
