Freudly really helped me discover parts of my personality I hadn’t noticed before. It strengthened the areas where I needed to grow and made me feel more grounded and confident in the parts that already worked well.
Emma C., US
I wanted to understand how serious my ADHD is, and now I finally do. I also realized I need to work on my self-esteem. It has been low for a long time, and that makes daily life harder than it should be.
Mateo R., CA
Reading each question felt like someone really understood me. Even though I’ve already dealt with much of this, reflecting still helped me learn something new about myself.
Caroline F., US

CLEAR ANSWERS TO COMMON QUESTIONS
Frequently Asked Questions

Any questions left?

What does this questionnaire measure?
It estimates emotional excitability and emotional balance in everyday situations. It also provides an indicator of stress resilience based on response patterns.
How should responses be selected?
Read each statement and choose the option that best matches typical behavior, not a single recent event. Use the first response that seems accurate and avoid overthinking.
How long does it take and how many items are included?
Completion time is about 3 minutes. The questionnaire contains 15 statements.
What is the purpose of the sincerity check items?
They help identify inconsistent or overly socially desirable responding. This supports a more accurate interpretation of the results.
How should the results be interpreted and used?
Scores indicate whether emotional responses tend to be more intense or more stable under stress. Results can inform recommendations for emotion regulation and resilience training, but they are not a clinical diagnosis.
WHAT THE TEST MEASURES
About This Assessment
Emotional Excitability/Balance Test

Emotional Excitability/Emotional Stability Scale Test

This brief self-report measure assesses individual differences in emotional reactivity and stress tolerance. The Emotional Excitability/Emotional Stability Scale is intended to support a rapid appraisal of whether a respondent tends toward heightened emotional responsiveness versus relative emotional steadiness.

The instrument includes 15 items and typically takes about 3 minutes to complete. Items are presented as simple statements describing reactions across situations, with a short validity check to help identify potentially non-credible responding. The Emotional Excitability/Emotional Stability Scale is commonly used as a screening tool in clinical and occupational contexts to inform further assessment and support interpretive hypotheses; it should be interpreted within the broader clinical picture and not used as a standalone diagnostic measure.
