What is this test for?
It spots the hardest signal to see: real strengths AND stubborn difficulties that seem to cancel out, at the cost of exhausting compensation. The result is never “you are twice-exceptional” but “a profile to explore”, “mixed signals” or “few elements today”.
Who is it for?
For adults wondering about themselves, and for parents who recognise this gap in their child or teen (answer thinking of them). Each prominent side points to the dedicated test.
How does it work?
You answer 12 statements grouped into strengths, stubborn difficulties, masking/burnout and impact. The compass weighs their COEXISTENCE — not each side in isolation — and suggests the leads to dig into (giftedness, executive functions, in-depth ADHD, child/teen giftedness). Everything is computed in the browser.
The science behind this test
Twice-exceptionality has long been described in the literature on high potential (NAGC): a single profile can combine very strong cognitive functioning and a documented neurodevelopmental disorder, each making the other harder to identify. Spotting it requires cross-checking a psychometric assessment and an evaluation of associated disorders, with professionals.
Full transparency
A MoodTrakr orientation questionnaire, built from DSM-5-TR / ICD-11 criteria and the cited literature. Twice-exceptionality is not a diagnosis in itself; this compass does not identify it and never concludes that you are. Only dedicated assessments, with professionals, can objectively assess each side.
- MoodTrakr orientation questionnaire, not validated: it opens up leads, it never concludes that you are (or are not) “twice exceptional”.
- Twice-exceptionality is not a diagnosis in itself: it is the meeting of high potential and a neurodevelopmental difficulty, which only dedicated assessments objectify.
- Whether strong or subtle, the two sides often mask each other: that is precisely why a professional opinion is useful.
The reference tests used by professionals
This questionnaire replaces none of the tools used in consultation. Here are the ones professionals actually use:
- Psychological assessment + neurodevelopmental evaluation — identifying twice-exceptionality means cross-checking a psychometric assessment (Wechsler) and an evaluation of associated conditions, with a professional
- A psychologist familiar with “2e” profiles — mixed profiles are the hardest to spot: an informed clinical eye makes the difference
Frequently asked questions
Does this test say whether I am “2e”?
No, never. It only opens up leads: twice-exceptionality is confirmed by cross-checking a psychometric assessment and an evaluation of associated disorders, with professionals.
Can you be very gifted AND struggling?
Yes, that is the very heart of the matter. No one is “too gifted to have difficulties”: the two often coexist, and mask each other.
I’m filling it in for my child — is that possible?
Yes: answer thinking of them for each sentence. The leads will point you in particular to the child/teen giftedness questionnaire and the executive-function profile.
Are my answers private?
Yes. Everything is computed in your browser and nothing is sent to a server.
