Impulsivity Test

This test helps you measure your level of impulsivity: the tendency to act spontaneously, driven by emotions, without carefully weighing all the pros and cons.

It looks at everyday behaviour, from whether you finish what you start and keep your promises to how you react to sharp remarks, and reflects the balance between self-control and spontaneity in how you act.

The test is based on the Losenkov Impulsivity Questionnaire, a well-known method developed by V. Losenkov to assess impulsivity in everyday behaviour.

The questionnaire consists of questions about your usual behaviour, some of which point toward impulsivity and some toward self-control, and combines your answers into one overall measure. The app slightly simplifies the wording for a non-clinical audience while keeping the original structure and scoring logic.

You read each question and choose the answer that describes you best, from a definite yes to a definite no.

After completing the test you receive an overall assessment of your impulsivity, from its complete absence to strong signs of it, with a short explanation of what impulsivity means and a description of how your level tends to show up: in how you make decisions, react to events and handle plans.

The result helps you see whether you might benefit from more spontaneity or from a short pause before important actions, and can be supplemented with personalized AI analysis in the Who Am I? app.
