Today, you no longer need to wait months for a professional appointment before gaining initial insight. The Psychology and Serenity platform offers 68 online psychological tests, free to take, covering nine major categories — from personality to phobias, including ADHD, OCD, and childhood wounds. This article guides you through this entire resource.

What is the psychological testing platform?

Psychology and Serenity is a French-language online psychological testing platform developed by a certified CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) psychotherapist. It brings together 68 tests built from recognized clinical scales, organized into nine thematic categories.

The model is straightforward: taking the test is completely free. You answer the questions and get a preview of your score. If you want to go further — with detailed interpretation, dimension-specific graphics, and personalized recommendations — a professional PDF report is available at an affordable price.

The approach is grounded in CBT foundations, Young's schema therapy, and models validated in clinical research. Each test was designed to provide a reliable first level of self-assessment, without replacing a professional diagnosis, but giving you concrete keys to understanding.

The 9 test categories

General diagnosis

A single test, but strategic: 60 questions that cover all the platform's themes. Its objective is to guide you toward the most relevant categories for you. Rather than choosing randomly among 68 tests, the general diagnosis identifies your priority areas and recommends the evaluations most suited to your profile.

Personality (14 tests)

The most comprehensive category. It includes classics like the Big Five (OCEAN) — the most scientifically validated personality model — as well as the Enneagram, relationship dependency test, high sensitivity test, assessment of Young's early schemas, impostor syndrome, emotional intelligence, and assertiveness. These 14 tests allow you to map your psychological functioning in depth: how you perceive the world, how you interact with others, what défense mechanisms you've developed over the years.

ADHD (5 tests)

Attention deficit disorder with or without hyperactivity is one of the most under-diagnosed conditions in adults. This category offers five complementary evaluations: Adult ADHD (global assessment), hyperactivity, attention deficit, executive functions (planning, working memory, cognitive flexibility), and daily life impact. The value of this multidimensional approach is distinguishing different profiles — predominantly inattentive, hyperactive-impulsive, or combined — and measuring concrete repercussions on your professional and relational life.

Anxiety (10 tests)

Ten evaluations covering the full spectrum of anxiety disorders: generalized anxiety, social anxiety, health anxiety (hypochondriasis), séparation anxiety, performance anxiety, burnout (Maslach scale), chronic stress, PTSD (post-traumatic stress), panic attacks, and stress management. Each test targets a specific mechanism. Generalized anxiety is not social anxiety, which is not burnout. Understanding them separately allows you to identify precisely what affects you and adapt the therapeutic strategy accordingly.

OCD (5 tests)

Obsessive-compulsive disorders are often reduced to the image of someone repeatedly washing their hands. Reality is far more nuanced. This category offers five tests: obsessions, compulsions, intrusive thoughts, pathological perfectionism, and mental rumination. Pathological perfectionism, for example, is rarely identified as OCD — yet the compulsive need for control and fear of error often stem from this family of disorders. Mental rumination, meanwhile, forms a bridge between OCD and dépression.

Relationships (10 tests)

This is the category most directly related to what we do at ScanMyLove. Ten tests to explore your relational dynamics: attachment style (secure, anxious, avoidant, disorganized), couple communication, codependency, jealousy, fear of abandonment, manipulation, empathy, toxic relationship, breakup management, and winning back your ex. The attachment style test is particularly illuminating — it helps you understand why you react in specific ways in intimacy, and why certain patterns repeat from one relationship to another.

Phobias (8 tests)

Eight evaluations going beyond classic phobias: social phobia, agoraphobia, specific phobias, eating disorders, screen addiction, social media addiction, internet addiction, and relationship dependency. The inclusion of behavioral addictions in this category reflects the évolution of clinical psychology: screen and social media dependency mobilize the same brain circuits as phobias — avoidance, anticipatory anxiety, compulsive checking behaviors.

Childhood (6 tests)

Six tests to explore the traces childhood has left on your adult functioning: childhood trauma, inner child, parentification, emotional deprivation, core wounds, and family loyalty. Parentification — having to play a parental role toward your own parents — is one of the least-known but most impactful phenomena on adult life. These tests allow you to put words to experiences that often remained in the shadows.

Personal Development (9 tests)

Nine evaluations oriented toward personal growth: self-confidence, self-esteem, resilience, life balance, émotion management, relational intelligence, leadership, motivation, and a comprehensive 100-question assessment. The comprehensive assessment is the platform's most complete evaluation — it synthesizes all dimensions into a single report.

How to take a test?

The user experience has been designed to be as simple as possible. No registration required, no account to create. You choose a test and start answering.

Questions use a Likert scale (1 to 5 or 1 to 7 depending on the test): you indicate your degree of agreement with each statement. A progress bar shows where you are. Duration varies from 5 to 15 minutes depending on the number of questions.

Crucial point: your answers remain stored locally in your browser (localStorage). They are never sent to a server. No one — not us, not anyone — has access to your answers. This is a deliberate choice: online psychology only works if confidentiality is complete.

At the end of the test, you get a free preview of your score: overall score, visual gauge, and a few interpretive sentences. This already provides useful initial insight. To go further, the detailed PDF report is available.

The detailed PDF report

For each test, a professional report is generated in seconds. Here's what it contains:

• Overall score with clinical interpretation (low, moderate, high, very high)
• Scores by dimension and sub-scale, with graphics (gauges, radar charts)
• Detailed analysis of each dimension: what your score means concretely
• Personalized recommendations based on your specific profile
• Therapeutic paths: CBT exercises, schema therapy, emotional regulation techniques
• Professional PDF that you can print or share with your therapist

The report is generated in approximately 3 seconds. You receive a download link valid for 24 hours. Payment is made via Stripe, the global reference for secure online payment. Discover all available tests

The general diagnostic test: your starting point

If you're torn between the 68 tests, start with the general diagnosis. Its 60 questions cover all the platform's themes: anxiety, mood, relationships, attention, personality, trauma. After the test, you get a map of your priority areas and recommendations toward the most relevant tests for your situation.

It's the equivalent of an initial triage consultation: rather than spreading yourself thin, the diagnosis guides you toward what truly deserves your attention. Many people discover dimensions they hadn't considered — a high pathological perfectionism score in someone consulting for anxiety, for example.

Security and anonymity

The Psychology and Serenity platform applies the same confidentiality principles as ScanMyLove:

• Zero database: no answers are stored server-side
• No registration: no account, no email collected to take a test
• localStorage only: your answers stay in your browser and disappear when you wish
• Secure payment via Stripe (PCI DSS certification)
• Single-use tokens: report download links expire after 24 hours
• No behavioral tracking: no profiling, no data resale

This "zero data retention" architecture is an ethical choice as much as a technical one. Psychological data is among the most sensitive information that exists. Not storing it is the best way to protect it.

Scientific foundations

Each test on the platform relies on scales validated in clinical research. Here are the main references used:

• DSM-5 (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders): diagnostic criteria for ADHD, OCD, anxiety disorders, PTSD
• Goldberg's Big Five Model: personality in five dimensions (Openness, Conscientiousness, Extraversion, Agreeableness, Neuroticism)
• Young's early schemas: 18 maladaptive schemas from schema therapy
• Bowlby's attachment theory: attachment styles (secure, anxious, avoidant, disorganized)
• Maslach Scale: professional burnout in three dimensions
• Gottman's model: relational dynamics and predictors of breakup
• Beck Scales: anxiety and dépression

The tests do not claim to replace a clinical diagnosis. They constitute a structured self-assessment tool, based on the same frameworks used by mental health professionals. Their objective is to give you a reliable first level of understanding and concrete action paths.

Who are these tests for?

Personal self-assessment

You feel a vague unease — anxiety, relational difficulties, lack of confidence — but you can't name it precisely. The tests help you put words to what you're experiencing. Taking an early schema test or attachment style test can be a moment of intense clarity: "So that's what explains why I always react the same way."

Preparing for a consultation

Arriving at a psychologist or psychiatrist with results from a structured test changes the dynamics of the first session. Instead of starting from scratch, you already have vocabulary, scores, and identified dimensions. The professional can get straight to the point. Several therapists even recommend their patients take online tests between sessions.

Therapeutic monitoring

Tests allow you to measure your progress over time. Taking the same anxiety test three months apart and seeing your score drop by 15 points is concrete motivation. It's also an objective indicator for your therapist.

Curiosity and personal development

You don't have a particular problem, but you want to know yourself better. Personality tests (Big Five, Enneagram), emotional intelligence, or resilience are excellent self-knowledge tools. They reveal tendencies you're not always aware of and open pathways for personal development.

Take action

Self-knowledge is the first step toward change. Whether you're seeking to understand a relational pattern, evaluate an anxiety disorder, or simply explore your personality, the 68 tests at Psychology and Serenity are there to support you.

FAQ

What are the most common physical symptoms of online psychological tests?

Explore 68 free online psychological tests for anxiety, ADHD, and personality. Physical manifestations most frequently include heart palpitations, muscle tension, breathing difficulties, and sleep disruption — which then amplify anxiety through hypervigilance to bodily sensations in a self-reinforcing cycle.

Can CBT treat online psychological tests without medication?

Research consistently shows CBT is as effective as anxiolytic medication for most anxiety disorders, with more durable results because it modifies the underlying cognitive mechanisms. For severe presentations, temporary medication combined with CBT is sometimes recommended to make therapy more accessible initially.

How many CBT sessions are typically needed before seeing significant improvement in online psychological tests?

Most people notice meaningful improvement within 4 to 6 sessions of structured CBT. A complete 8-16 session protocol produces lasting results. The skills learned — cognitive restructuring, graduated exposure, relaxation techniques — remain usable in self-management after therapy ends.
