What this test explores
The test focuses on how often you tend to experience:
- Need for predictability – feeling safer when plans and outcomes are clear.
- Emotional distress – anxiety/tension when information is missing or things are uncertain.
- Avoidance & control – delaying decisions, checking or trying to eliminate uncertainty.
- Worry amplification – uncertainty quickly fueling worry and worst-case thinking.
Intolerance of uncertainty can overlap with generalized anxiety, OCD traits, health anxiety or stress. This test cannot diagnose conditions, but it can help you notice patterns that may deserve care and support.
How the test works
You will see one statement at a time. Answer based on your typical experience across everyday situations. All questions are required.
How to use this result
Intolerance of uncertainty often improves through small, consistent practice: delaying reassurance, reducing checking, making “good-enough” decisions, and learning to stay present with imperfect information. Use your highest dimension as a starting point for change and conversations with a professional if needed.
