Introduction
The Sexual Addiction Screening Test-Revised (SAST-R) is described as a 45-item screening questionnaire about patterns of sexual behavior and related consequences. A screening label does not make the result a diagnosis, and terminology in this area should be interpreted with qualified professional guidance.
The questionnaire, local scoring, and result categories remain available without calculation changes. Responses can cover private or distressing experiences, so choose a setting where you feel comfortable and stop if the content becomes overwhelming.
Use the result only for education and structured reflection. It cannot establish a disorder or replace a professional assessment.
Instructions
To complete the test, answer each question by placing a check next to the appropriate yes/no column.
