What this assessment explores

Most people don't set out to have a difficult relationship with alcohol – it tends to creep up gradually. This assessment helps you take an honest look at your drinking patterns and whether they might be affecting your health, your relationships, or your sense of control. It's built on the AUDIT, developed in conjunction with the World Health Organization and used internationally in health settings.

What you can expect

There are 12 questions, and they'll ask you to reflect on your drinking over the recent past – not your whole history, just how things have been lately.

The questions touch on things like:

  • How often you drink and how much
  • Whether you've noticed signs of dependence – like needing more, or finding it hard to stop
  • Whether drinking has created problems in your relationships, work, or daily life

Your responses give you a clearer picture of where your drinking sits – and whether it might be worth paying closer attention to.

Why this is free and private

Insightable Mind is built by clinical and research psychologists to help people better understand themselves, while contributing to meaningful psychological research. These assessments are offered free as part of that work. Your responses are private – when data is used for research, it's fully anonymised and combined with others to help improve the assessments and answer important questions about human psychology.

Top tips

Our best advice to help you get the most out of your self-assessment:

Usually your first instinct is the right one
Try not to over think each question.
Try not to get stuck on specific words
If a statement is 'mostly true' for you, don't get stuck on the word 'always'.
Be consistent in how you rate
If 'often' means weekly to you, apply that meaning throughout.
