This test has been developed by Jellinek. The test is for people who take speed (amphetamine), either orally or by sniffing. The test will help you discover whether you are taking too many risks. The test has 18 questions. Once you’ve answered the questions, you’ll receive the test results, with information about your score. Depending on your score, we’ll make certain recommendations.
