How It Works

How It Works

From a question to a clearer picture

Our assessments are designed to help you reflect on patterns in your thoughts, feelings and behaviour.

Start with something you genuinely want to understand

Many people arrive here with a simple question: “Am I still in love with my ex?”, “Am I a jealous person?”, “Am I a people pleaser?”, or “Am I burned out?”

Those questions can sound simple, but the feelings and behaviours behind them are often more complicated. That is why our assessments are designed to explore different aspects of the question rather than produce a single simplistic label.

The aim is not to tell you who you are. It is to help you notice patterns that may be worth thinking about.

The Process

Three simple steps

1

Choose your question

Start with the assessment that feels most relevant to what you are thinking or feeling right now.

2

Answer honestly

Respond to a short series of questions about your thoughts, feelings, reactions and behaviour.

3

Review your report

Your answers are interpreted across the relevant dimensions to provide a more useful picture of your responses.

More Than a Score

Why we look at different dimensions

Human emotions and behaviour rarely fit neatly into one percentage.

For example, someone wondering whether they still love an ex may have strong nostalgia but little desire to reconcile. Another person may feel emotionally attached but no longer feel romantic attraction.

Looking at several dimensions can provide a more useful starting point for reflection.

Example

Am I still in love with my ex?

Emotional attachment: High

Nostalgia: Very high

Romantic desire: Moderate

Desire to reconcile: Low

Personalised Interpretation

What your result is intended to do

A result is designed to explain possible patterns in your answers in plain language.

It may highlight which areas appear stronger, which appear weaker and how different parts of your responses may fit together.

The report is intended as a prompt for self-reflection, not as a definitive judgement about you.

What to Expect

Thoughtful, simple and easy to use

Short assessments

Most assessments are designed to be completed in a few minutes.

Related next steps

Where useful, your result may suggest related assessments or reading.

What these assessments are not

The assessments on Compulsive-Hoarding.org are intended for education and self-reflection.

They are not medical or psychological diagnoses, and a result should not be treated as confirmation that you have, or do not have, a particular mental-health condition.

If you are concerned about your mental health, wellbeing or safety, consider speaking with an appropriately qualified healthcare professional.
