Online Assessment Tools ? Do You Think You Might Have a Problem?

By Robert L. Mues

Here is a list of links to various online assessment tools that might be valuable for those interested in learning where they might score in areas that can frequently impact a marriage. Originally, I just intended to post an online depression assessment tool since many people going through a divorce suffer from some degree of depression. But once I started on the project, as you can see, the list kept growing. Here they all are:

• Depression Screening Test
• Inventory of Depressive Symptomatology
• Anger Management Test
• Arguing Style Test
• Domestic Violence Screening Test
• Woman Abuse Screening Test (WAST)
• Battered Woman Test
• Alcoholism Test
• Drug Abuse Screening Test
• Cocaine Addiction Test
• Marijuana Addiction Test<
• Internet Addiction Test
• Cybersex Addiction Test
• Sexual Addiction Test (SAST)
• Pornography Compulsion Test
• Gambling Addiction Test
• Food Addiction Test
• Compulsive Spender Test
• Compulsive Shopper Test
• Obsessive/Compulsive Disorder Test
• Domination/Submission Test
• Mood Disorder Test
• Social Anxiety/Phobia Test
• Stress Test
• Workaholic Test
• Marriage Strength Test (Gottman)

Additionally, if these assessment tools are not what you are looking for, consider checking out my previous post, “Divorce Calculator – We have an App for That.” Economist, Betsey Stevenson, from the University of Pennsylvania?s Wharton School in Philadelphia, developed the calculator based upon a recent study which has shown that the lowest divorce rates are among people who marry later in life and have more education; the highest divorce rates are among those who marry young with less education.

In any event, if you have a problem, please recognize that counseling with a qualified psychologist can work wonders as long as you are committed to the process!
