CLEAR ANSWERS TO COMMON QUESTIONS

Frequently Asked Questions

What does this quiz measure?
It screens for patterns that may link sexual thoughts or behaviors with trauma-related coping, such as compulsive urges, numbness, anxiety, shame, triggers, and boundary difficulties. It also reviews how these patterns may affect relationships and daily functioning.
Is this a diagnosis of hypersexuality or a trauma disorder?
No. Results are informational and cannot diagnose any condition or determine the cause of behavior.
How long does it take, and how many items are included?
The quiz includes 68 questions and usually takes about 10 minutes to complete. Time varies by reading pace and reflection.
How should responses be answered?
Answer based on typical patterns over recent months, not a single event. Use the first response that best fits and avoid overthinking.
What should be done with the results?
Use the summary to identify themes and questions to discuss with a trauma-informed clinician. If there is risk of harm, coercion, or inability to stay safe, seek urgent professional or emergency support.
