Kleptomania Test: Stealing Impulse Screening
64 questions·10 min·5 dimensions·5 report sections
Good morning,
This test describes the sequence of impulsive stealing: the tension building beforehand, the brief relief straight after, the uselessness of the objects taken, and what makes the impulse so hard to interrupt — the guilt included. The report places each of these four stages, and the point where the sequence begins.
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. You can answer it for yourself, or about someone else.
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
Kleptomania Test: Stealing Impulse Screening — a 64-question self-assessment, about 10 min. This test describes the sequence of impulsive stealing: the tension before, the relief after, the uselessness of the object, the loss of control. Once finished, you receive a detailed PDF report ($3.60): your score on each of its 5 dimensions, a radar chart and a personalized action plan. It is designed to help you know yourself better.
This test covers tension, urges, relief, stealing, control, guilt, secrecy, money, the law, perseverance, attention, pleasure, the body and readiness to change. What the test asks, for example Tension If you feel rising tension before taking something. If you can walk into a shop without any particular tension coming up. Urges If the urge becomes hard to contain until you act. If, when such an urge arises, you manage to resist it. Relief If acting briefly calms your tension. If you have other ways of easing this tension. Stealing If you take objects you will never use. If you only take what you actually need. Control If you lose control of this act despite wanting to stop. If you fully control this behavior whenever you decide to. Guilt If you feel guilty or ashamed after taking something. If the relief often gives way, afterward, to shame. Secrecy If you hide, give away or throw out what you have taken. If you have been able to talk about this with someone close to you. Money If it is not a lack of money that drives these acts. If, when you want an item, you buy it. The law If this behavior exposes you to legal or professional consequences you are aware of. If thinking about what could follow is enough to turn you away from doing it. Perseverance If your attempts to hold back regularly fail. If, when you promise yourself to stop something, you stick to it. Attention If, before acting, your thoughts focus more and more on the act. If, when an urge of this kind comes up, you can turn your attention to something else. Pleasure If the pleasure comes mainly from the act itself, not the object. If taking something gives you neither relief nor pleasure. The body If your heart races as the urge to take something grows. If your body tenses up when this urge appears. Readiness to change If these behaviors have a real effect on your life. If you believe you are capable of growing in this area.
