Use this fast 5-question test to see if you might fit the criteria for erectile dysfunction.
This quick 5-question test is a shortened version of the International Index of Erectile function (IIEF) 15-question test and is called the IIEF-5.
This quiz was developed according to the National Institutes of Health’s definition of ED and focuses on self-reported satisfaction with intercourse and overall erectile function.
The IIEF-5 is meant to offer a tool to help identify the presence and severity of ED in men.
A study conducted using this test had substantial agreement between the test-predicted ED severity classes and the diagnosed ED severity classes.

This test is not meant to diagnose a person with erectile dysfunction, or act as a substitute for consulting with a medical professional. This quiz is an online tool that may help men identify if they are displaying signs and symptoms of erectile dysfunction and help guide them to appropriate medical treatment if necessary.
If you complete the test and it suggests that you are displaying signs of ED, it is a good idea to speak with your doctor about your signs, symptoms, and get advice on the next course of action.
