Sexual Addiction Screening Test
This private self-screen is designed to help you reflect on patterns in sexual behaviour and decide whether it may be time to take a structured next step. It is intended for personal reflection only and does not replace a clinical assessment. Many professionals begin looking for help long before anything publicly falls apart. If this area is affecting your focus, relationships, peace of mind, or sense of integrity, this tool can help you assess whether the pattern may be worth addressing now.

This self-screen takes only a few minutes to complete.
Answer each question as honestly as you can.
Your results are meant to provide perspective, not a formal diagnosis.
If your score raises concern, the next step is not panic, it is clarity.

What your results can tell you
When you complete the screening, you will receive an immediate result with a score summary, a breakdown of your responses, and suggested next steps. The goal is not to label you, but to help you understand whether your answers suggest a pattern that deserves attention.
If the result points to a higher level of concern, that does not mean your situation is beyond help. It usually means this is a good time to act early, privately, and with structure.

Professional Guidance Built on Real-World Experience
Executive Addiction Recovery was created to support professionals who are struggling privately while continuing to carry significant responsibility.
The process is led by Brian James, a registered psychotherapist with extensive experience in addiction recovery and a background in high-performance professional environments. This combination allows the recovery process to address addiction realistically, without ignoring the pressures, expectations, and identities that often make seeking help feel complicated.
The focus is not on removing you from your life, but on helping you regain clarity, control, and alignment within it.
Why Getting Help With Sexual Addiction Often Feels More Complicated for Professionals
Many people reach a point where they know something needs to change, but traditional addiction recovery options do not feel like a realistic fit.
Stepping away from work, losing privacy, or entering a public treatment setting can feel risky when your responsibilities, reputation, and relationships are on the line. Even when the desire for change is there, uncertainty about how to move forward can keep people stuck longer than they want to be.
This is where clarity and structure matter most.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Sexual Addiction Screening Test (SAST)?
The Sexual Addiction Screening Test (SAST) is an assessment tool designed to help individuals evaluate sexually compulsive or “addictive” behaviour. Originally developed by Dr. Patrick Carnes, it has been widely used by therapists and treatment centres to help distinguish between healthy sexual expression and patterns that may be becoming unmanageable.
Is this screening test clinically validated?
Yes. The SAST is a recognized screening instrument that has been validated through multiple clinical studies to effectively identify patterns of sexual addiction. It is used by registered psychotherapists and addiction specialists worldwide as a reliable starting point for clinical evaluation.
Is my privacy protected while taking this test?
Completely. For high-performing professionals, discretion is non-negotiable. Your responses to all 43 questions are processed locally within your web browser. Absolutely nothing is stored on our servers, transmitted, or linked to your identity.
How long does the SAST take to complete?
The assessment consists of 43 yes/no questions divided into four distinct topic areas: Core Patterns, Online Behaviour, Relationship Patterns, and Risk Consequences. Most people complete the screening privately and at their own pace in 5 to 10 minutes.
What should I do if my score indicates "High Concern"?
A high score is not a formal diagnosis—it is a signal that your sexual behaviour may be affecting your focus, relationships, or peace of mind. The next step is not panic, but clarity. Executive Addiction Recovery Services offers a confidential consultation as a private, no-pressure way to explore what these patterns mean for your life and career.
