About this test

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.

Dimensions assessed

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

Why take this test?

Chronic anxiety and stress affect quality of life, sleep, relationships, and productivity. Accurately assessing your anxiety level helps distinguish normal stress from an anxiety disorder requiring care, and helps implement appropriate strategies.

The Post-Traumatic Stress Test specifically evaluates 4 key dimensions: Re-experiencing, Avoidance, Hyperarousal, Negative cognitions. With 60 carefully crafted questions, it provides a detailed and nuanced picture of your psychological profile in this area. The test takes approximately 18 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 Post-Traumatic Stress Test 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.

Before an important meeting

Your thoughts in the hours before: negative scenarios, rumination, body symptoms, urge to control everything.

In the evening, at bedtime

Difficulty turning off your mind, anticipating tomorrow, fragmented sleep, night awakenings with invasive thoughts.

In transport or crowds

Body tension, urge to flee, suffocating feeling, heightened scanning of the environment, fear of losing control.

At any body signal

Heightened sensitivity to palpitations, a headache, a passing pain: fear of a hidden illness, repeated checks.

The actual questions are not shown here: you discover them when you start the test (free up to question 5).

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the Post-Traumatic Stress Test measure?

This test evaluates 4 psychological dimensions: Re-experiencing, Avoidance, Hyperarousal, Negative cognitions. Each dimension is scored individually, giving you a detailed view of your profile rather than a single overall number.

Is this test scientifically validated?

This test is based on established models in clinical psychology and psychometrics. It evaluates 4 dimensions (Re-experiencing, Avoidance, Hyperarousal...) using validated assessment scales. However, it is a self-assessment tool and does not replace a professional clinical diagnosis.

What does the PDF report contain?

Your Post-Traumatic Stress Test report includes: your overall score with detailed interpretation, individual analysis of each of the 4 dimensions, a radar chart visualizing your profile, personalized recommendations for improvement, practical exercises, and additional resources.

Is my data kept confidential?

Absolutely. The test is 100% anonymous — no account creation, no email required. Your answers are stored only in your browser (localStorage) and are never sent to our servers until you purchase a report. All data is automatically deleted after 30 days.

Who is the Post-Traumatic Stress Test 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 Post-Traumatic Stress Test 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.
