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

Alice B., FR
Great platform — the insights were genuinely meaningful!
Daniel W., DE
Everything was easy to follow. The tools you get at the end are genuinely helpful for self-growth, and the price is very reasonable. I really appreciate that.
Sofia M., ES
Surprisingly accurate — honestly didn’t expect it to nail things so well.
Adir B., IL
There are lots of different tests to pick from, and the price is surprisingly low for how much insight you get.

WHAT THE TEST MEASURES
About This Assessment
Multidimensional Scale of Life Satisfaction for Schoolchildren, MSLS Test

Multidimensional Students' Life Satisfaction Scale Test

This instrument is used to assess perceived life satisfaction in school-aged youth across multiple domains. The Multidimensional Students' Life Satisfaction Scale provides a brief, structured self-report profile of satisfaction in key areas commonly relevant to adolescents.

The measure includes 30 items and typically takes about 6 minutes to complete. Items are designed to capture domain-specific satisfaction (e.g., family, school, teachers, self, and peers), supporting identification of relative strengths and areas of concern for clinical, school, or programmatic follow-up.

The Multidimensional Students' Life Satisfaction Scale is commonly cited in the literature (Huebner, Seligman, & Diener) and may be used as part of a broader assessment battery rather than as a standalone diagnostic tool.
