CLEAR ANSWERS TO COMMON QUESTIONS

Frequently Asked Questions

What does this screener measure?
It screens for patterns linked to recurrent anger outbursts and difficulty controlling aggressive impulses. It also asks about triggers, intensity, frequency, and effects on work, relationships, and safety.
Does a high score mean a diagnosis?
No. Results are educational and cannot confirm or rule out any mental health disorder.
How should items be answered if outbursts are rare but severe?
Select responses that match typical severity and the most representative timeframe requested. If frequency and severity differ, answer each item based on what it asks, without averaging.
What time period should be used when responding?
Use the timeframe stated in each item. If no timeframe is stated, answer based on the past 12 months.
What should be done if responses indicate risk of harm?
Seek urgent help if there is risk of harm to self or others, including contacting emergency services or a local crisis line. For ongoing anger that feels unsafe or out of control, consult a licensed mental health professional.
WHAT THE TEST MEASURES
About This Assessment
Intermittent Explosive Disorder Test

Intermittent Explosive Disorder Test - Symptoms and Signs

Take a quick Intermittent Explosive Disorder (IED) symptom screener inspired by common clinical descriptions of IED—such as recurrent outbursts, difficulty controlling anger, and impacts on work, relationships, or legal/financial consequences. You’ll answer questions about frequency, intensity, triggers, and aftermath (regret, shame, or repair attempts). Your results offer an educational snapshot and practical next steps, but this quiz isn’t a diagnosis. If anger feels unsafe or out of control, consider talking with a licensed mental health professional.
