Mood plus energy
Look beyond feeling high or low and consider whether your level of activity, motivation, mental pace, confidence, or need for rest changes at the same time.
Put changes in mood and energy into a longer-term pattern
This Bipolar Test helps you reflect on whether changes in mood arrive with changes in sleep, activity, motivation, confidence, decisions, or daily functioning. It is for education and self-reflection, not diagnosis.

What the test helps you compare
Sleep and daily rhythm
Notice whether different periods come with less need for sleep, more sleep, altered routines, withdrawal, restlessness, or a different pace of life.
Impact on functioning
Reflect on what happens to commitments, spending, work, relationships, focus, productivity, and the ability to keep normal responsibilities steady.
A clearer personal record
Use the result to organize experiences that may have felt disconnected and decide what is worth monitoring or discussing further.
How the Bipolar Test works
1
Answer from your broader experience
Think across different periods instead of anchoring every answer to this week. The useful comparison is often with your own usual baseline.
2
Receive one overall traits level
Your 100 responses are combined into one result from Minimal Traits to Strong Traits. ThinkHint does not calculate separate mania, depression, sleep, or impulsivity scores.
3
Read the narrative in context
The report discusses themes such as emotional variability, energy, motivation, relationships, responsibilities, work, and decisions so you can compare the overall result with real examples from your life.
Bipolar test questions
What does this Bipolar Test measure?
It is a 100-item self-report about recurring experiences involving mood, energy, sleep, activity, motivation, decisions, and everyday functioning. It produces one overall bipolar-traits level.
Is this the MDQ, CIDI, or another clinical bipolar screener?
No. ThinkHint uses its own questionnaire and scoring model. The result should not be interpreted as a score from the Mood Disorder Questionnaire, CIDI, or a DSM-based diagnostic assessment.
Does changing mood mean I have bipolar disorder?
No. Ordinary mood changes are common. Clinical assessment looks at distinct changes in mood together with changes in energy, activity, sleep, behaviour, duration, severity, and functioning over time.
What result do I receive?
You receive one overall level—Minimal, Mild, Moderate, Elevated, or Strong Traits—followed by a detailed narrative report. The report themes are interpretive sections, not separate clinical scores.
When should I seek professional support?
Consider qualified support if changes are severe, recurrent, escalating, disruptive to daily life, involve risky behaviour, or affect your safety. An online self-report cannot diagnose bipolar disorder or replace care.
A useful bipolar self-test looks at change from your own baseline
A single energetic day or low week is rarely enough to understand a pattern. What can be more informative is whether several things change together and feel clearly different from your usual self: less need for sleep with more activity and faster decisions, or a lower period with less interest, more withdrawal, and much heavier effort for ordinary tasks.
Clinical evaluation considers the course of these experiences across time. Duration, severity, frequency, impact, personal history, and other possible explanations all matter. That is why a self-report can organize observations but cannot determine whether they meet criteria for a mood episode or bipolar disorder.
Use your result to make your own examples more specific. A clearer timeline of what changed, what changed with it, and what consequences followed can be useful whether you keep the reflection private or eventually discuss it with a qualified professional.
