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
Michigan Alcoholism Screening Test, MAST

Michigan Alcoholism Screening Test (MAST)

This measure is used to screen for alcohol-related problems and associated functional impairment. The Michigan Alcoholism Screening Test (MAST) is a brief, structured self-report questionnaire intended to support initial clinical decision-making and determine whether further evaluation is indicated.

Developed by Selzer, M., it consists of 24 items and typically takes about 5 minutes to complete. Items assess consequences of alcohol use across common domains (e.g., interpersonal, occupational, legal, and health-related functioning). Results from the Michigan Alcoholism Screening Test (MAST) should be interpreted in the context of clinical interview findings and other available information, and are not intended to serve as a standalone diagnosis.
