Your Executive Skills Profile

We’re all good at some executive function skills, and not so good at others.  Executive Function skills are learned through interaction with your environment.  When executive function isn’t working as it should, your behavior is less controlled.* This can affect your ability to:

  • Work or go to school
  • Do things independently
  • Maintain relationships

Take the free test below to get to know yourself better by looking at how well you:

  • Plan and prioritize;
  • Control your actions, emotions and behavior to get things done; and
  • Monitor your progress to see if you are on track
