You might find the anxiety course most useful right now.
Your answers cluster around catastrophising and night-time worry — the two patterns the anxiety course is built around.
A pattern-spotter, not a personality test.
Six questions, each looking for one of the common cognitive or behavioural patterns we see in first sessions. Catastrophising. Rumination. Avoidance. People-pleasing. Self-criticism. Trauma response. The result points to the course built around your top pattern.
Adapted from a real assessment
Based on the kind of pattern-spotting a counsellor does in the first 20 minutes of a session. Simplified for self-administration.
Designed by a qualified UK counsellorNot a diagnosis
This won’t tell you whether you have an anxiety disorder or depression. It will tell you which of the patterns we work with most often is showing up most in your day.
Diagnostic tools are for cliniciansevidence-based method, not Myers-Briggs
Personality frameworks describe who you are. evidence-based method pattern-spotting describes what you do under stress. The latter is more useful when you want to change something.

Things people ask.
What does the quiz actually measure?
Six common cognitive and behavioural patterns from evidence-based method — catastrophising, rumination, avoidance, people-pleasing, self-criticism and trauma response. Not a diagnosis. Just a starting point for noticing your own patterns.
Do I need to give my email?
No. The quiz runs entirely in your browser. Nothing is sent anywhere. You can take it as many times as you like.
Is this an actual personality test?
It’s not Myers-Briggs or Big Five — those are personality frameworks. This is a pattern-spotter, designed to point you to the most useful course for what you’re carrying right now.
Patterns you can actually do something about.
Take the quiz, open the course it points to, and put the technique into your day this week. That’s the loop — not the personality label.
