• Sex Addiction Screening Test

    Sex Addiction Screening Test

  • The Sex Addiction Screening Test questions are designed to be used as guidelines to identifying possible signs of sex addiction. They are not intended to provide concrete evidence of an associated diagnosis or proof the condition is or is not present. Many sex addicts and love addicts have varying patterns which can result in different ways of approaching and answering these questions.

    Please answer each of the 45 questions yes or no. Upon completion, screening results are displayed.  Upon reading the results, we welcome your sharing the results with Ridgeback Recovery via providing your contact information and inviting followup via the submit button.
