How it works

  1. Rate how often each statement fits you in the past month.
  2. Not sure? Choose “Not sure” — it won’t affect your score and will be excluded from the percentage.
  3. Submit to see patterns by system (auditory, visual, tactile, vestibular, proprioceptive, oral) with brief context and ideas to try.
