FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Is this a diagnosis?: No. MindSpectrum produces a tendency and overlap map. Only a licensed clinician can diagnose.
Where do my answers go?: They don't go anywhere. They stay in this browser's local storage. You can delete them any time from the privacy page.
How long does it take?: The written roof screen is about 36 items; most people finish in 12–20 minutes. The child parent form is shorter.
Is there a form for children?: Yes. The parent form for ages 6–17 is at /en/children. Children should not complete it alone; it is not a diagnosis or school report.
What are the visual tasks?: There aren't any anymore. The screening is text-only; tapping an option advances automatically.
What if I leave halfway through?: You can continue from where you left off in the same browser. It doesn't transfer to another device.
Should I use this if I'm in crisis?: No. In an emergency call your local emergency number. See the crisis resources page.
Are the scales official?: No. The question language is derived from dimensions of ASRS-v1.1, PHQ-9, GAD-7, OCI-R, MDQ, AQ-10, LSAS, PCL-5 and similar inventories. Licensed full forms are not administered.
