CLEAR ANSWERS TO COMMON QUESTIONS

Frequently Asked Questions

What does this quiz measure?
It estimates food selectivity based on preferences and discomfort related to texture, smell, mixed dishes, sauces, and unfamiliar foods. Results include a percentage score and a brief pattern profile (for example, texture-avoidant or routine-driven).
How long does it take, and how many items are included?
Estimated completion time is about 10 minutes. The questionnaire contains 78 items.
How should items be answered?
Select the response that best reflects typical behavior rather than an unusual recent event. If unsure, choose the closest option rather than leaving an item unanswered.
How are results calculated and presented?
Responses are combined into an overall selectivity percentage and several subscale indicators tied to common selectivity patterns. Higher values indicate more frequent avoidance or stricter preferences in the areas assessed.
Is this a diagnostic tool?
No; it is intended for self-reflection and entertainment. It does not diagnose eating disorders, sensory conditions, or medical problems.
