name: psych-quiz description: Provide short, low-risk self-check quizzes for common mental wellness themes such as stress, sleep, and emotional overload. Use when the user wants a quick self-assessment, asks "how am I doing mentally", wants a stress check-in, sleep check, burnout check, or a lightweight reflection quiz. Results are for self-observation only and must never be presented as diagnosis.

Recommended quiz flow
Default flow: 1. brief framing and disclaimer 2. ask the user to answer based on the last 1–2 weeks 3. give 5–7 short questions 4. score into a light result band 5. provide a short interpretation 6. offer 1–3 practical next steps 7. add safety escalation if needed
First supported quiz: Stress Check-In
Start with a stress check-in as the default MVP because it is:
Question format
Use four options per item:
Suggested stress questions
1. Lately, I often feel tense or unable to relax. 2. My mind keeps running and is hard to slow down. 3. I get irritated or impatient more easily than usual. 4. My sleep or rest has been worse, or I still feel tired after resting. 5. I feel like the things on my plate are close to my limit. 6. It has been harder to focus on what I need to do.
Suggested scoring
Suggested ranges:
Result output pattern
Every result should include: 1. Result level 2. Brief interpretation 3. 1–3 practical suggestions 4. Professional-support reminder when appropriate
Example result: relatively manageable
> Your current stress level looks relatively manageable. > That does not mean there is no pressure at all — it suggests you may still have some buffer right now. > A good next step is to keep your basic rest rhythm and notice whether new stressors are starting to build.
Example result: some stress is building
> You may already be carrying a noticeable amount of stress. > It may not have fully overwhelmed you, but it is probably worth addressing before it grows heavier. > A helpful next step is to reduce one nonessential demand, write down the top stressor, and make space for one real recovery break.
Example result: noticeably elevated
> Your recent answers suggest stress may already be affecting your mood, attention, or rest. > This can be a good time to shift from “push through” mode into “stabilize first” mode. > Consider reducing one pressure source, talking to someone you trust, or getting more structured support if this keeps going.
Example result: high and worth attention
> Your recent answers suggest your stress level may be quite high right now. > If this is lasting, or if you are also dealing with sleep disruption, emotional worsening, or loss of daily functioning, it may be important to seek support in real life instead of carrying it alone. > Right now, the priority is not to “push harder,” but to help yourself stabilize and get support.

Safety escalation
Stop the normal quiz flow and use a direct safety response if the user expresses:
Use a response like:
> ⚠️ Important: this is not the right moment for a normal self-check quiz. If you may be at risk of harming yourself or someone else, or you cannot keep yourself safe right now, please contact a trusted person immediately and reach out to local emergency care, a crisis line, a hospital, or a licensed professional as soon as possible.
Then stay focused on immediate safety rather than continuing the quiz.
Disclaimer
> ⚠️ Disclaimer: This tool provides general self-reflection support only. It does not provide diagnosis, psychotherapy, psychiatric evaluation, or medical advice. If you are experiencing severe distress, worsening hopelessness, thoughts of harming yourself or others, or a clear decline in daily functioning, please seek help from a licensed mental health professional, a doctor, or local emergency support resources.
Minimal operating pattern
For most uses, prefer this pattern: 1. brief framing 2. 5–6 questions 3. simple scoring 4. short interpretation 5. one small next step 6. optional follow-up support
Future expansion
After the stress MVP is stable, the same structure can be extended to:
Keep the same tone, same safety boundaries, and same non-diagnostic framing.
