These tests are for screening. A result is not a diagnosis: only a psychiatrist or psychologist can make one, after talking with you.
Your answers are scored on this device and never sent. Only your result is saved, with the email address you confirm.

Choosing an answer takes you to the next question. You can go back at any time.
Your result
Low level
Your acceptance of social norms is low: you prefer to keep your distance from other backgrounds, views and lifestyles. According to the scale, this pattern is closer to Generation X.
Moderate level
Your acceptance of social norms is moderate: your attitude to differences is neither very distant nor very open. You are close to neither Generation X nor Generation Z, but in between.
High level
Your acceptance of social norms is high: you are open to and tolerant of other backgrounds, views and lifestyles. According to the scale, this pattern is closer to Generation Z.

Take your result as a rough guide, not a diagnosis. How you feel over time, and a conversation with a specialist, tell much more than a questionnaire.
Talk it through with a specialist
If your result worries you, or you would like to talk it through, our psychiatrists can review it with you, free and without obligation.
