SAST Results

Your score – the total number of “yes” responses you had to the last 25 core questions – determines which one of three risk behavior groups you fall into and the recommended course of action. Remember, this test is in no way meant to be final or conclusive; it’s just a diagnostic tool.

Low Risk (0-8)

You may or may not have a problem with sexually compulsive behavior. However, if your sexual behavior is causing you problems in your life, we encourage you to confide in a trusted friend for support and accountability. You may also want to consider seeing a professional counselor or health care specialist if you’d like help with any particular unwanted sexual behaviors.

At Risk (9-18)

You are “at-risk” for your sexual behavior to interfere with significant areas of your life. If you’re concerned about your sexual behavior and have noticed consequences as a result, you should confide in a trusted friend for accountability and seek out the help of a professional counselor or health care specialist with experience in this area to conduct a further assessment.

High Risk (19-25)

You are in the highest risk group for your sexual behavior to interfere with and jeopardize important areas of your life (social, occupational, educational, etc.). It’s essential that you share this in confidence with a trusted friend or confidant who can hold you accountable and/or help you get help from an experienced professional counselor or health care specialist to further assess your condition.
