Exercise dependence: a test on your relationship with sport
64 questions·10 min·6 dimensions and a separate readiness-to-change module·up to 17 clinical frameworks·5 report sections
Reviewed by Gildas Garrec, CBT practitioner
Good morning,
Sport occupies a different place for everyone. This test explores, without judgment, the place it takes up in your thoughts, what it now takes to feel its benefits, what continues despite a signal telling you otherwise, and what being unable to train leaves behind. The answers describe facts and felt experience, not a diagnosis: the report that comes out of it offers markers, not a label.
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
Exercise dependence: a test on your relationship with sport — a 64-question self-assessment, about 10 min. A test exploring the place sport takes up in your thoughts, your body and your everyday life, and what becomes hard to adjust. Once finished, you receive a detailed PDF report ($3.60): an interpretation 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 explores how sport settles into everyday life through concrete situations. "Even before waking up, my training plan for the day is already on my mind" (q2) asks about the place it takes up before any action is taken. "It takes more than before for me to get that post-workout feeling back" (q8) asks what it now takes to feel a comparable effect. "A health professional has already advised me to ease off, without my taking it into account" (q14) asks what continues despite a contrary signal. "When an injury prevents the planned training, the annoyance that causes" (q19) asks what being unable to train leaves behind. The test ends with a short passage on the wish to change this way of functioning.
About this test
▼
Dimensions assessed
- ●Your reading of this relationship with sport- The way you explain this relationship with sport, before the test tells you anything. This section does not measure any difficulty and does not produce a level: it collects a starting reading.
- ●Self-representation- How you place yourself relative to occasional sport practice, before any measurement. This section measures no difficulty and produces no level: it records a starting point.
- ●Compulsive use- The automatic, invasive way exercise gets reached for, independent of any judgment about intensity.
- ●Tolerance & escalation- How what it takes to feel an effect changes over time, and what that change is standing in for.
- ●Continuing despite the cost- The practice kept up despite its physical, medical or relational price.
- ●Loss of control & distress when unable to train- The gap between the intention to cut back and what actually happens, and what being prevented from training leaves behind.
- ●Readiness to change- Your starting position regarding a possible change, measured apart from the rest of the profile.

Sport occupies a different place for everyone. This test explores, without judgment, the place it takes up in your thoughts, what it now takes to feel its benefits, what continues despite a signal telling you otherwise, and what being unable to train leaves behind. The answers describe facts and felt experience, not a diagnosis: the report that comes out of it offers markers, not a label.
The questionnaire explores 6 areas: Your reading of this relationship with sport, Self-representation, Compulsive use, Tolerance & escalation, Continuing despite the cost, Loss of control & distress when unable to train. Your answers support reflection, not a diagnosis. A separate module explores readiness to change; it is not another trait of the model presented.
