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.
Mark how far you agree with each statement.
Choosing an answer takes you to the next question. You can go back at any time.
Your result
Low consequence awareness
Your answers suggest that in your decisions and behaviour you often put immediate wishes ahead of the likely consequences. This tendency can be a risk factor for alcohol, drugs or other harmful habits; talking these issues over with a specialist may help.
Moderate consequence awareness
Your answers suggest that you weigh the consequences in some situations and follow immediate wishes in others. Thinking through short- and long-term consequences before important decisions can strengthen this balance; if some areas are hard for you, a specialist can support you.
High consequence awareness
Your answers suggest that you largely take the likely consequences into account when deciding and acting. This skill helps protect against harmful habits.

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.

About this test
The Üsküdar Consequence Awareness Scale measures how far a person notices the natural consequences of an action, a decision or acting on feelings, across long- and short-term planning, action, decisions, emotions and intentions, and outlook on life. You answer 25 statements in about 5 minutes. The higher the score, the greater the awareness of consequences; the result is not a diagnosis.
