Test Description

Symptom Checklist-90 is an English-localized assessment focused on somatization, obsessive-compulsive symptoms, interpersonal sensitivity, depression, anxiety, hostility, phobic anxiety, paranoid ideation, and psychoticism. It contains 90 items across 10 scoring dimensions, and it presents the same user-facing testing flow, scoring cues, and report context in English. Use the report as a self-reflection and screening reference rather than a standalone diagnosis; important mental health or relationship decisions should still be discussed with a qualified professional when needed.
