About Us
Understanding your past is a journey. We're here to walk it with you.
The Story of AceTest.me
AceTest.me was born from a deeply personal place. We saw how the science of Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) could unlock profound understanding, but the information often felt cold, clinical, and hard to find. We asked ourselves: What if there was a gentler path? A safe, quiet space where anyone could explore their story with compassion, clarity, and complete privacy. So, we created AceTest.me—not just as a tool, but as a supportive companion to help you connect the dots from your past to your present.
Early 2024 - The Idea
We saw the need for a more compassionate and accessible way for people to understand their childhood experiences.
June 2025 - Our Launch
AceTest.me went live, offering a free, user-friendly, and confidential space for self-exploration based on the ACE study.
September 2025 - Deeper Insights
We introduced optional, AI-powered reflections to provide gentle, personalized context for users seeking deeper understanding.
Coming in 2026
We will expand our library of healing resources, support tools, and guided pathways to help you on your journey forward.

The Purpose Driving Our Work
Our mission is to provide a safe, accessible, and compassionate first step for adults seeking to understand the impact of their childhood. We exist to empower your journey of self-discovery with science-informed tools that are clear, gentle, and always free.
Fostering a World of Informed Healing
We envision a world where understanding our past is a pathway to healing, not shame. A world where everyone has the tools to see their own story with clarity, build resilience, and move toward a future defined by their strength, not their scars.
How We Uphold Your Trust
These are our three core commitments to you — the foundation of why you can trust us on this journey.
Empowerment, Not Diagnosis
We want to be clear: our platform is a tool for insight and self-exploration, not a substitute for a medical diagnosis. Your results are a starting point for reflection or for a conversation with a qualified professional.
Privacy by Design
Your data belongs to you. We built our platform with your privacy as our highest priority. Your assessment is anonymous, and we will never sell or share your personal information. That is our unbreakable promise.
Grounded in Science
Our tools are not built in a vacuum. Our core assessment is directly based on the published and validated ACE study, ensuring the insights you receive are both meaningful and reliable.
A Framework for Your Exploration
Exploring your past can feel vulnerable. We promise to honor your courage by being a trustworthy, supportive, and gentle guide every step of the way.
Grounded in Science
Our core ACE Test is based on the landmark CDC-Kaiser Permanente study. We provide reliable insights so you can feel confident in your results.
Guided with Empathy
We understand this is more than just a quiz. We've designed every part of this experience with care, offering guidance without judgment.
Your Privacy is Sacred
Your story is yours alone. Your test results are anonymous and your data is protected with the highest standards. We will never share it.
