Executive Function Test: Planning, Focus & Working Memory
64 questions·10 min·6 dimensions·up to 17 clinical frameworks·6 report sections
Good morning,
This test looks at executive functions, that is, the organization of action rather than motivation. It examines five moving parts: anticipating and breaking a task down, changing strategy without freezing, holding back an automatic reaction, keeping an instruction in mind while carrying it out, starting when the intention is already there. The report indicates which of these parts is struggling most.
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 64 questions and takes about 10 min, for a price of $3.60.
We'd also suggest reading the book The Practical CBT Guide, to take this reflection further. It's included in the price and downloadable.

QUICK ANSWER
Executive Function Test: Planning, Focus & Working Memory — a 64-question self-assessment, about 10 min. This test looks at executive functions: planning, flexibility, inhibition, working memory, initiation. It names the part that jams. Once finished, you receive a detailed PDF report ($3.60): your score on each of its 6 dimensions, a radar chart, up to 17 clinical reading frameworks and a personalized action plan. It is designed to help you know yourself better.
This test covers organization, anticipation, time, memory, urges, dialogue, procrastination, avoidance, control, spending, frustration, attention and readiness to change. What the test asks, for example Organization If the order in which to do things escapes you. If you write a plan before starting. Anticipation If the consequences of your decisions dawn on you too late. If you have a fallback when things jam. Time If your estimates of how long things take fall wide. If your time forecasts land right. Memory If the information for a task evaporates along the way. If you remember without paper. Urges If you react before you have had time to choose. If you wait your turn, in line as in a conversation. Dialogue If you have said what you would have preferred to keep in. If you let others finish their sentences. Procrastination If you put off what you know is important. If you start well ahead of the deadline. Avoidance If a dull task stays impossible to attack. If you get to it as soon as nothing stands in the way. Control If you stay hooked on a habit that has become useless. If you drop a routine that no longer fits. Spending If a purchase, a snack or a screen makes you give in on the spot. If you resist what works against you, even when it is tempting. Frustration If a plan falling through knocks you flat. If the unforeseen costs you more than it should. Attention If a tempting distraction carries you off. If, when the phone buzzes, your hand goes to it by itself. Readiness to change If these difficulties are weighing on your life right now. If you believe you can make progress on this.
