The necessary page

Terms of use

Short, and none of it should be a surprise.

What this is

MindType is 64 psychology tests, free, with no account and nothing to buy. Using the site means accepting what is on this page.

This is not medical or psychological advice

Nothing here diagnoses anything. A questionnaire that takes five minutes and knows nothing about your history cannot. No result is a clinical assessment, and none should be used to decide whether you or anyone else has a condition.

Many of these tests draw on constructs that published psychology uses, and the method page says test by test which ones. Drawing on a construct is not the same as being the validated instrument the research was done with, and a score here is not the score you would get on one.

If you are struggling right now

Please do not use a quiz for this. If you are thinking about harming yourself, contact your local emergency number, or find a helpline in your country through findahelpline.com. If a result on this site worries you, that is worth taking to a professional rather than to another test.

What you may and may not do with it

Who owns what

Every question, every written result, and the code that scores them were written by hand for this site and belong to its author. The underlying constructs belong to the researchers who published them, and are credited here as ideas rather than reproduced as instruments, which is the distinction the method page exists to keep honest.

No guarantees

The site is provided as it is. I do not promise it will be available, correct, or free of mistakes, and to the extent the law allows I am not liable for any loss arising from using it or from relying on a result. If you find something wrong, particularly a question that leads you toward an answer, tell me at hello@mindtypetests.com and it gets fixed. Several already have been.

These terms may change.
