The Regal Mind Check is a 30-minute online cognitive assessment and wellbeing screen, designed by the Clinical Psychologists at Regal Private Therapy Practice.

Why check the health of your mind?
We routinely check our physical health. We monitor our blood pressure, cholesterol and fitness. But how often do we take a structured look at the health and performance of our mind?
The Regal Mind Check brings three things together in one place: objective cognitive testing, validated psychological screening, and your own experience of how you function at work and in everyday life.
Whether you are performing well and want to build on it, struggling with a particular challenge, or simply curious about how your mind works, it gives you a structured place to start.
Understand your mind. Identify what may be getting in the way. Know what to do next.
What does the Regal Mind Check measure?
The Regal Mind Check measures three areas of how you function: how you think, how you feel and how you perform. Each is assessed in a different way, so your results reflect both objective performance and your own experience.
-
These abilities underpin many of the things we rely on every day, from concentrating and retaining information to solving problems, planning ahead and managing competing demands. The cognitive tasks give an objective measure of each one, so you can see where your strengths lie and which areas may be more challenging.
-
Short, validated questionnaires explore your mood, anxiety and stress. The Mind Check also includes a brief screening measure for ADHD characteristics, which can help show whether attention and executive functioning difficulties may be worth exploring further.
-
Your Mind Profile asks how you function in the real world, from focus and organisation to confidence, assertiveness and leadership. This means your results are understood in the context of what actually matters to you, rather than as scores on their own.
Who is the Regal Mind Check for?
There is no single type of person who benefits from a Mind Check, and there does not need to be something wrong to benefit from understanding yourself better. You might:
be performing well and want to understand your cognitive strengths and how to make better use of them
find it difficult to concentrate, organise yourself, manage competing priorities or finish tasks
be experiencing more stress, anxiety or low mood than usual and wonder how it is affecting you
want to become more confident, communicate more assertively, set better boundaries or develop as a leader
have wondered whether ADHD or executive functioning differences could help explain some of your experiences
The Regal Mind Check is for adults aged 18 and over.
How does the Regal Mind Check work?
The Regal Mind Check is completed online in five steps, and the assessment itself takes around 30 minutes.
-
After booking, you will receive your short Mind Profile, asking about your work, strengths, current challenges and what you would most like to understand.
-
Complete the online cognitive tasks and wellbeing questionnaires from home, at a time that suits you. Each task includes clear on-screen instructions and a brief practice before it starts.
-
Your results are checked by a Clinical Psychologist and sent to you within two working days, giving a snapshot of your cognitive performance and psychological screening.
-
If you choose the consultation option, a Clinical Psychologist reviews your Mind Profile and results before your appointment, then brings the different pieces together with you to explore what they mean.
-
In your consultation, insight becomes practical action. Depending on your results and goals, recommendations might focus on attention and focus, productivity, procrastination, organisation, stress management, confidence, assertiveness, boundaries, leadership or psychological wellbeing. Where appropriate, further clinical or diagnostic assessment may be recommended.
How does the Regal Mind Check work?
The Mind Check is a snapshot of how your mind is working on the day, so the conditions matter. For the most accurate results:
complete it somewhere quiet and free from distractions
allow around 30 minutes
take short breaks if you need to, but keep the same conditions throughout
be reasonably well rested, and avoid alcohol or recreational substances beforehand
use a laptop or desktop computer
What is the Mind Check based on?
The cognitive tasks in the Regal Mind Check are provided by Creyos, formerly Cambridge Brain Sciences. They were developed by neuroscientist Dr Adrian Owen over three decades of research at the University of Cambridge and Western University, and Creyos reports that they have been used in more than 300 peer-reviewed studies.
Your scores are compared against Creyos's normative database of more than 85,000 people, so you can see how your performance compares with others of a similar age. The tasks draw on established neuropsychological methods, adapted to be engaging to complete online.

A cognitive assessment is a structured set of tasks that measures how well core thinking skills are working, such as attention, memory, reasoning and planning. Your results are compared with people of a similar age, giving an objective picture to set alongside how you feel you are functioning.
Unlike an IQ test, which summarises ability in a single number, a cognitive assessment looks at each skill separately. That is what makes it useful. Most people have a mix of relative strengths and areas that take more effort, and the pattern often explains more than any one score.
-
A cognitive assessment can measure how well your attention, memory and processing speed are working, which can help show how stress, low mood, poor sleep or burnout may be affecting your thinking day to day. It turns a vague sense of brain fog into specific information you can understand and act on.
Our Clinical Psychologists find objective cognitive information particularly helpful for:
exploring how depression, anxiety, chronic stress, burnout or difficulties managing emotions may be affecting concentration and memory
understanding how changes to sleep, exercise, diet or other parts of daily life relate to how your mind is working
helping people understand their cognitive strengths and relative vulnerabilities, which many find reassuring and practically useful
Changes in memory or concentration can have physical as well as psychological causes. If you have noticed a significant change, or it is getting worse, please speak to your GP as well. The Mind Check does not replace a medical assessment.
-
The Regal Mind Check takes around 30 minutes to complete online, including the cognitive tasks and the wellbeing questionnaires. Your Mind Profile takes a few extra minutes beforehand. Each cognitive task lasts only a few minutes and begins with clear instructions and a short practice, and you can take brief breaks between tasks if you need to.
-
The Regal Mind Check costs £50 and includes your Mind Profile, online cognitive assessment, wellbeing and brief ADHD screening, and your results. The Regal Mind Check with a Clinical Psychologist Consultation costs £200, adding a review of your results by a Clinical Psychologist and a one-to-one consultation to explore what they mean for you.
-
No. An IQ test produces a single score intended to summarise general intellectual ability. A cognitive assessment like the Regal Mind Check measures separate thinking skills, such as attention, memory, reasoning and planning, and compares each with people of a similar age. This shows your relative strengths and areas of difficulty, rather than one overall number.
-
There is no pass or fail. The Regal Mind Check gives a snapshot of how your thinking is working on the day, so the best preparation is to be reasonably well rested, avoid alcohol or recreational substances beforehand, and complete it somewhere quiet without interruptions. You cannot study for the tasks, and practising in advance is not necessary.
-
No. The Regal Mind Check includes a brief screening questionnaire for ADHD characteristics, which can suggest whether attention and executive functioning difficulties are worth exploring further. Screening cannot establish a diagnosis on its own. If your results point that way, we can talk you through whether a formal ADHD assessment might be helpful and what it involves.
-
We recommend completing the Regal Mind Check on a laptop or desktop computer rather than a phone. Several tasks measure how quickly and accurately you respond, so a larger screen and consistent setup give the most reliable results. You will also need a stable internet connection and around 30 minutes somewhere quiet.
-
Yes. Your results are held securely by Regal Private Therapy Practice and our assessment provider, Creyos, and are seen only by our clinical team. If someone else bought your Mind Check for you, including an employer, your individual results are not shared with them without your explicit consent.
