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.
Confirm your email address
Before the test we send a 6-digit code to your email address. Your result is saved with it, so that our team can help you if you wish. The email with the code contains no health information.
For each statement, choose how far you agree with it.
Choosing an answer takes you to the next question. You can go back at any time.
Your result
Weak sustainability attitude
Your answers show that social, environmental and economic consequences play a small part in your everyday choices at the moment. The area scores show where small changes would be easiest to start.
Moderate sustainability attitude
Your answers show that you take sustainability into account in some matters but less in others. The area scores show where you could do more.
Strong sustainability attitude
Your answers point to a strong sustainability attitude: you take social, environmental and economic consequences into account in your everyday choices.

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.

It has 21 statements and takes about 5 minutes. The result gives an idea of your everyday attitudes and habits; it is not a mental health assessment.
