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.

WHAT THE TEST MEASURES
About This Assessment
Level of Fixed Emotional Mindset Test

Level of Fixed Emotional Set Test

This brief self-report questionnaire is designed to screen for a relatively stable emotional orientation toward perceived success or failure. The Level of Fixed Emotional Set provides a snapshot of whether an individual tends to interpret life events through a consistent “success–failure” lens, which may inform clinical formulation and discussion.

Developed by H. J. Eysenck, it consists of 10 items and typically takes about 2 minutes to complete. Results are intended to support reflective conversation (e.g., in psychotherapy, coaching, or self-exploration) rather than provide a definitive diagnosis, and they should be interpreted in context of other clinical information.

The Level of Fixed Emotional Set may be useful for identifying areas where greater emotional flexibility could be a treatment focus, particularly when rigid patterns of self-evaluation or expectancy appear to influence mood, motivation, or coping.
