About the free schema test

The Schema Reflect Inventory uses 144 original statements to help you compare 18 emotional patterns. It usually takes 20–30 minutes, and your answers and results stay in your browser.

What you get

  • A profile across 18 schemas and five domains.
  • Instant results and an optional PDF export.
  • No registration and no transmission of answers to a server.

Important limits

This is an educational self-reflection tool, not a diagnosis and not the proprietary YSQ-S3. Use the profile as a hypothesis for journaling or a conversation with a professional.

Example result

Fictional example: eight answers for one schema — 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 2, 2, 2 — total 16 of 32 possible points. The profile shows 50% and the label “Moderate”.

The percentage describes your answers, not the probability of a diagnosis. Missing answers reduce the total without changing the maximum of 32; an unfinished profile should not be read as low schema intensity. Edited wording stays in the same scoring group but can change what an answer means.

Free schema test: common questions

Is this schema test free, including the results?

Yes. All 144 questions, your 18-schema profile, and the optional PDF export are free. You do not need an account, email address, or payment to see your results.

How long does the schema questionnaire take?

Allow about 20–30 minutes. Progress saves in this browser so you can pause and return on the same device. Clearing site data or using another browser will not carry your answers over.

Is this the Young Schema Questionnaire (YSQ)?

No. The Schema Reflect Inventory is an original educational questionnaire informed by schema theory. It is not the proprietary YSQ, YSQ-S3, or a clinically validated assessment. Its scores cannot diagnose a condition or select a treatment.

What do my schema scores mean?

They summarize how strongly you agreed with statements in each schema group. A higher score is a prompt to examine examples from your life, not a diagnosis or proof of a childhood cause. Complete all questions before comparing scores; missing answers can make a pattern look weaker.

Are my answers private?

Your answers, edited wording, progress, and results stay in your browser and are not sent to our servers. On a shared device, other people using the same browser may be able to see saved responses. You choose whether to export or share a PDF.
