Psychological Formulation
Test
Understand Mental Wellbeing
Mental wellbeing is shaped by your experiences, personality, environment, relationships and coping strategies all interact to influence how you respond to life’s challenges.
Psychological Wellbeing Snapshot Assessment With AI
The Biomarks.ai Psychological Formulation Test is a structured wellbeing screening tool that helps you better understand these influences using the internationally recognised 5 Ps framework, commonly used by psychologists to organise and understand a person’s mental health.
Rather than focusing on a diagnosis, this assessment provides a broader picture of your current wellbeing by identifying the factors that may be contributing to emotional distress, maintaining psychological challenges, and supporting resilience.
In just 3–4 minutes, you’ll receive a personalised wellbeing snapshot that highlights areas of strength as well as factors that may benefit from further attention.
What is Psychological Formulation?
Psychological formulation is a structured approach used by psychologists to understand why someone may be experiencing emotional or psychological difficulties.
The Biomarks.ai assessment translates this clinical framework into an easy-to-complete digital wellbeing check that anyone can use.
This holistic approach recognises that every person’s situation is unique. Two people with similar symptoms may have completely different life experiences, stressors and protective factors.
Instead of asking “What diagnosis does this person have?”, formulation asks:
- What difficulties are they currently experiencing?
- What experiences may have contributed to these difficulties?
- What recent events triggered them?
- What factors may be keeping them going?
- What strengths and supports can help recovery?
What does the Assessment Measure?
Understanding your current symptoms provides the starting point for your overall wellbeing profile.
Predisposing Factors – identifies the underlying personal, family and life experiences that may increase vulnerability to emotional difficulties.
Precipitating Factors – examines recent events or life changes that may have triggered your current emotional wellbeing.
Perpetuating Factors – highlights ongoing habits, behaviours or circumstances that may be maintaining psychological distress.
Protective Factors – measures the strengths, support networks and healthy habits that build resilience and support long-term wellbeing.
Your Wellbeing Snapshot
After completing the assessment, Biomarks.ai generates a Wellbeing Snapshot that summarises your responses across each of the five domains.
Your results include:
* An overall wellbeing score
* Individual ratings for each of the five formulation areas
* Plain-English explanations
* Personalised wellbeing insights
* Areas that appear stable
* Areas that may benefit from additional attention
Rather than presenting complex clinical terminology, Biomarks.ai explains your results in clear, easy-to-understand language so you can better understand what may be influencing your wellbeing.
