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 well it describes you.
Choosing an answer takes you to the next question. You can go back at any time.
Your result
You believe in work and like it
Your answers show that you believe in the value of work, keep going when things get hard and do not try to avoid working. The scale's authors see this outlook as closer to the values they associate with Generation X.
Moderate belief in and liking of work
Your answers show a middle position on believing in work and liking it. According to the scale's authors, this attitude sits between the two generations.
High escape from work, low belief in work
Your answers show that you find earning without much effort and quick promotion more appealing, and that you have little faith that hard work pays off. The scale's authors see this outlook as closer to the values they associate with 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.

About this test
The Üsküdar XYZ Generation Differences Scale, developed in 2022 by Prof. Nevzat Tarhan and Assoc. Prof. Aylin Tutgun Ünal, is a set of 12 separate scales; the Work Liking Scale is one of them. It has 7 statements (escape from work and belief in work dimensions) and takes about 2 minutes. The result shows how close your values are to those the authors attribute to Generations X and Z; it is not a personality assessment or a diagnosis.
