In the previous post we presented Andropause Symptoms Self-Assessment Questionnaire from Totality of Being. While there is no officially accepted self-evaluation test, you may want to review other similar tests, developed by other groups and organization to confirm / recheck the assessment received. The test, presented in this post, is provided by Men’s Health Clinic from New Zealand. It is simple and straight-forward and will take no more than 10 minutes from your valuable time.
