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.

WHAT THE TEST MEASURES
About This Assessment
Handelman's Youth Apathy Questionnaire Test

Adolescent Apathy Questionnaire Test

This brief self-report measure is designed to screen for reduced motivation and indifference toward academic engagement in adolescents. The Adolescent Apathy Questionnaire can be used in school or counseling settings to help characterize the extent to which a student views academic outcomes as meaningful or unimportant.

The instrument includes 10 items and typically takes about 2 minutes to complete. Items target perceived interest, effort, and emotional investment in schoolwork, which may help differentiate situational fatigue or stress from more persistent apathy that warrants further assessment. The Adolescent Apathy Questionnaire is attributed to A. E. Achenbach and is intended as an initial indicator rather than a standalone diagnostic tool.
