Cluttering is a relatively unknown fluency disorder that can involve disorganized, rapid, jerky, or unclear speaking. It is often mistaken for stuttering, but the two are not the same.

Cluttering : Speech disorder

Complete the self-test to determine if you display signs of cluttering. This self-test can assist you in understanding how closely you align with the symptoms commonly associated with cluttering. Are you ready to take your cluttering assessment? Let's begin!

​

Answers in Yes/No

  1. Do you speak too quickly or at a fast pace?

  2. Do others often find it difficult to understand or follow you?

  3. Do you have sudden outbursts or bursts of speaking unexpectedly in your speech?

  4. Do you often find it difficult to control your speech rate?

  5. Do you frequently take your pauses the wrong way (too short, too few, too long, too many)?

  6. Do you easily substitute or omit syllables or sounds?

  7. Do you usually speak with too little intonation, or emphasize words incorrectly?

  8. Do you normally think about how loud or soft you speak?

  9. Do you often change your sentences while speaking?

  10. Do you sometimes struggle to come up with the right words?

  11. Do you frequently use filler words in your speech (such as “er”, "well", etc.)?

  12. Do you hardly suffer from fear of speaking or fear of words?

  13. Are you often surprised when you hear yourself talking on recordings? 

  14. Do you usually speak better when you are focusing on your speech?

  15. Do you usually speak worse when the subject of conversation is rather complex?

If you answered 'Yes' to less than 5 questions, it suggests that you do not have cluttering.

If you answered 'Yes' to more than 10 questions, it is likely that you have cluttering, but it is recommended to seek a more comprehensive analysis or diagnosis from a Speech Language Pathologist. This test only offers a preliminary indication of a potential outcome.
