Executive functions are cognitive skills—including working memory, self-awareness, and emotional regulation—that help individuals successfully set and achieve goals, make informed decisions, and solve problems as they arise. Take this test to assess your executive function abilities.
This test is for anyone curious about their planning, problem-solving, and motivational skills, or lack thereof. This test is designed for adults and is not intended to be diagnostic.
If you think that problems with planning, goal-setting or managing your emotions interfere with your success, make an appointment with a licensed mental health provider; you can find one in your area on the Psychology Today Therapy Directory.
