Has My Child Lost Motivation at School? — Test
63 questions·10 min·5 dimensions and a separate readiness-to-change module·up to 14 clinical frameworks·5 report sections
Reviewed by Gildas Garrec, CBT practitioner
Good morning,
This test separates out the things the word “lazy” usually lumps together: curiosity about what is taught, effort sustained over time, the ability to get organized on their own when faced with a task, and the meaning school still has for your child. The report shows where each of these four drivers stands and which one has faded.
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 63 questions and takes about 10 min, for a price of $3.60.
We'd also suggest reading the book Adolescence in Crisis, to take this reflection further. It's included in the price and downloadable.

QUICK ANSWER
Has My Child Lost Motivation at School? — Test — a 63-question self-assessment, about 10 min. This test unpacks what the word “lazy” usually covers: interest in subjects, effort, independent work and your child's outlook on the future. Once finished, you receive a detailed PDF report ($3.60): an interpretation of its 5 dimensions, a radar chart, up to 14 clinical reading frameworks and a personalized action plan. It is designed to help you know yourself better.
This test covers curiosity, effort, perseverance, organization, independence, the future, personal goals and readiness to change. What the test asks, for example Curiosity If your child comes home from school telling you what they discovered in class. If your child shrugs when you talk to them about what they learned in class. Effort If your child sits down to their homework in the evening, even when it is not easy. If your child rushes through homework on evenings when nobody checks their notebook. Perseverance If, when an exercise is tough, your child sticks with it and keeps looking for the answer. If, faced with an exercise they do not understand straight away, your child pushes their notebook aside. Organization If your child writes down test dates and plans ahead to get started early. If your child does their homework that same morning, in the car or in study hall. Independence If your child gets their homework out as soon as they get home, without being reminded. If your child only gets down to work after you have reminded them. The future If your child talks about a job or a project they would like to pursue. If, when you talk about their future schooling, your child stays vague and keeps their distance. Personal goals If your child sets a goal of their own for school: raising their grade average, finishing a project. If your child says "it won't change anything anyway" when you talk about their results. Readiness to change If what you have just described weighs on your life as a parent. If you want to take action to better support your child in this area.
About this test
▼
Dimensions assessed
- ●Your view of this lack of school interest- How you explain your child's lack of interest in school, before the test tells you anything. This section does not measure any difficulty or produce a level: it simply records your initial view.
- ●Interest in subjects- Your child's relationship with what is taught. This dimension is read separately from the work they put in: a child can be interested without working, and work without being interested.
- ●Effort- The commitment your child puts into a task, including when nobody is checking. The report looks here at consistency, which says more than a one-off performance.
- ●Independent work- Getting started and keeping going without outside help. The report assesses what your child gets going on their own, a resource distinct from their wish to do well.
- ●Outlook on the future- The connection your child makes between school and what comes next. This dimension is read as a long-term driver: it keeps them engaged when interest in the moment runs low.
- ●Readiness to change- How much weight you give this issue and how much you want to change the way you handle it, considered separately from the four previous dimensions: this determines how far-reaching the report's suggestions will be.
Reference frameworks and authors
This questionnaire was designed to help you take stock. It does not reproduce a published validated scale and is not a clinical assessment: its results are a starting point for reflection, to discuss with a professional if needed.
