Why Empiralis is different
Every source disclosed
For every test you'll find the original study and its exact license status -- no anonymous question banks.
Honest about its limits
No made-up IQ score, no diagnosis by click. Where the science draws a line, so do we.
Built with crisis in mind
Sensitive answers automatically trigger a note pointing to real crisis resources -- 988 included.
No account needed
Your results stay in your browser. Nothing is sent to a server, nothing is sold.
What do you want to find out?
Start from what's actually on your mind, not from a clinical category label.
I want to understand myself better
I'm wondering if I'm struggling mentally
I want to understand my relationships
ADHD or autism might be part of the picture
I want to understand my child better
Screen time or social media might be part of the picture
Guided screening paths
Several tests and a short reflection on one topic, combined -- for a picture no single test can give on its own.
Adult ADHD -- a multi-step screening path
A single ASRS score can't tell ADHD apart from sleep loss, depression, or stress -- and says nothing about how much it actually affects your life. This path walks you through several signals instead of one.
Explore the path →Loneliness & Connection -- a multi-step screening path
A single loneliness score can't say whether it comes from one particular relationship, from a lack of support overall, or from a recurring attachment pattern. This path walks you through four tests instead of one.
Explore the path →Burnout & Exhaustion -- a multi-step screening path
A single CBI score already separates personal, work-related, and client-related exhaustion -- but it can't tell whether a depressive episode, anxiety, or risky alcohol use is behind it too. This path walks you through several signals instead of one.
Explore the path →Parental Stress & Child Development -- a multi-step screening path
A single Parental Stress Scale score says nothing about how well your family works as a whole, or whether your child is showing behaviors that add to the strain or exist independently of it. This path walks you through both perspectives instead of one.
Explore the path →Next steps
A striking result usually raises the same question: what now? Our next-steps guides show the real path to a diagnosis and where to find support -- online and locally -- instead of another self-assessment.

All articles →- What Actually Makes a Test Scientific
Between a carefully developed questionnaire and a random internet quiz often lie years of research and thousands of participants. A look behind the scenes -- in plain language, with real examples.
- What “above average” means here — and what’s still missing
A norm is always relative to a reference group. We show which sample your result is compared against, where we use our own orientation ranges, and why we don’t (yet) run our own validation research.
- How Reliable Are Online Personality Tests, Really?
Between serious, decades-researched questionnaires and pure entertainment quizzes lie entire worlds. How can you tell the difference?
