Alexithymia Test

It can take you anywhere between 7 to 15 minutes.

Psychologists, psychiatrists, psychometricians, mental health therapists, counselors, and other mental healthcare professionals. This test is also a self-assessment, so even non-professionals can use it to gauge themselves. If you’re a non-professional and you stumbled upon this guide, feel free to use the template to gauge yourself! Just don’t substitute this for therapy/counseling, and don’t self-diagnose yourself. It’s best to see a professional for that.

The instructions are simple, so it shouldn’t be difficult to answer. Whatever difficulty that arises will come from the person answering it. There might be a chance that they will have to sit down and think long and hard about how much the items apply to them. The great thing about this test is that it accounts for people who actually have alexithymia, and it does so by phrasing the items in such a way that they can understand them.
