Am I High Quiz

People who notice a sudden change in speech, balance, alertness, perception, or judgment can use the Am I High Quiz to organize what is happening right now. It is intended for someone checking their own condition or helping a trusted companion decide whether to pause risky activities and involve support. The format makes it a how high am I quiz centered on immediate observations and practical next steps.

What This Assessment Explores

Current items cover speech, memory, concentration, time, senses, alertness, balance, coordination, bodily sensations, substance exposure, transport, responsibilities, and access to help. The three result dimensions are:

• Immediate Safety and Function (0-15) flags risks around driving, machinery, care, coercion, injury, or support; bands: No indicator endorsed (0), Indicator present (1-2), Action warranted (3-15).
• Physical and Coordination Signs (0-15) reflects bodily sensations, balance, and movement changes; bands: No indicator endorsed (0), Indicator present (1-2), Action warranted (3-15).
• Thinking and Perception Changes (0-15) reflects memory, communication, orientation, reading, and sensory changes; bands: No indicator endorsed (0), Indicator present (1-2), Action warranted (3-15).

Together, they connect endorsed experiences with practical next steps. The result from this how high are you quiz shows whether current circumstances are safe rather than estimating alcohol or drug concentration.

Methodology and Scientific Basis

Each item offers four ordered choices, from usual functioning to mild change, difficulty, or danger. Respondents choose the present option; answers group by theme, and choices disclose no point values.

The method is conceptually consistent with the Subjective High Assessment Scale, which examined subjective reports of high experiences during substance-related challenges; this questionnaire is not an adaptation. Schuckit and Gold support considering subjective and observable markers together; Morean and colleagues support perceived drug effects as a subjective self-report measure.

Safety interpretation requires emergency help for chest pain, breathing difficulty, seizure, collapse, blue or gray lips, or difficulty waking. Dangerous mixing, severe confusion, worsening symptoms, or inability to leave safely require immediate in-person support and urgent guidance. This urgent-help guidance is consistent with emergency-department substance-intoxication guidance described by Sarkar and colleagues. The high quiz format also supports pausing driving or machinery whenever impairment is possible.

Anxiety, illness, medication effects, or inaccurate recall can affect self-report. The displayed bands are unvalidated reflective summaries, not severity, medical, sobriety, or legal cutoffs; any concerning response matters independently, and a single red flag overrides the total.
