We have dozens of quizzes here at Psych Central, and we just added yet another new one — What’s Your Emotional Type? Learning your emotional type can be helpful in dealing with chronic illness and health issues in your life, including pain. This 18-question quiz is by Michael Jawer and Marc Micozzi, M.D., Ph.D., and we’re happy to work with them to bring this quiz to Psych Central. Learning your emotional type can be beneficial in helping you find the right treatment for your chronic illness or pain.

On a completely unrelated note, I also wanted to point out our Schizophrenia Screening Test — one of the few available online. Few people actually have schizophrenia — a disorder characterized by hallucinations and delusions that severely impact a person’s life. But this disorder often rears its head in a person’s 20s, so it’s something to be aware of if you’re concerned about inexplicable symptoms in yourself or a friend. Take the 12-question quiz now to find out if you might benefit from consulting a mental health professional.

Schizophrenia, like all mental disorders, is treatable. The key to getting treatment, though, is recognizing there’s a problem to begin with.

Neither of these quizzes — like all the psychological tests we publish — are meant to diagnose you. Instead, they are just here to give you a general idea about a certain set of symptoms or characteristics about yourself. We hope you find them useful.
