Intermittent Explosive Disorder Self-Assessment
This quiz helps you assess whether you exhibit patterns of sudden, intense anger outbursts that may be characteristic of Intermittent Explosive Disorder (IED).

Understanding your emotional responses can be the first step in managing anger more effectively.
Who can take this quiz?

Have you ever reacted with physical aggression or verbal attacks without fully understanding why?

What purpose does this quiz serve?

How does the quiz work?
This quiz evaluates your emotional responses based on factors such as frequency of outbursts, intensity of anger, triggers, and aftermath. Your responses will help determine whether your anger patterns might align with IED symptoms.
