About Childhood Trauma Test

This site exists for one job — a childhood trauma test that gives a clear answer quickly and shows how it was reached.

Testing before every update

Every release of the childhood trauma test is checked by an automated test suite of 284 checks in a real browser — normal values, edge cases and invalid input — and on desktop and phone screen sizes before it goes live.

What the explanations rely on

The formulas and reference values in the guides follow published standards and primary sources, linked where they are used: cdc.gov, ptsd.va.gov.

Our approach

The editorial team writes for one reader: someone who needs a reliable answer now. That means worked examples, units spelled out, honest limits and no sponsored recommendations.

Keeping it current

Published October 8, 2026, last reviewed October 12, 2026. Corrections are welcome via the contact page; confirmed fixes go out with the next update.

How the site is paid for

The tool is free to use. The site is funded by advertising, which never influences results or explanations.
