Fire-Related Impulse Test (Pyromania)
Assess fire fascination and the tension-act-relief mechanics
How to read your scores
Each dimension is scored out of its own maximum (e.g. 16/25 = 16 points out of 25 for that dimension). The higher the score, the more that dimension is present. Below each bar, a label (low / moderate / high) and a clinical interpretation explain what your score means. The overall score sums every dimension.Overall score

- ✓Introduction
This test is a SCREENING self-assessment inspired by DSM-5 criteria (pyromania): fascination with or attraction to fire, rising tension before the act, relief or gratification, ABSENCE of a utilitarian motive (insurance, revenge, ideology). Honesty note: unlike kleptomania, there is no validated general-public self-report scale for pyromania; general impulsivity draws on the Barratt Impulsiveness Scale (Patton, 1995).
