There is a test for depression called a depression screener. They look at the answers given and can tell you if you might be a candidate for medical treatment. You can find an accredited one at www.liveyourlifewell.org.
It would be helpful if there were an accurate blood test for the diagnosis of depression. However, there is no valid laboratory test, to date. (It was once thought that the dexamethasone suppression test was an accurate blood test for depression - and many were ordered in the 1970s. It proved to be both inaccurate and invalid.) The best way to diagnose depression is by a combination of clinical interviewing and scale scoring (HAM-D or Hamilton Depression Scale, or MADRAS, which is the the Montgomery-Asberg Depression Rating and Assessment Scale). The do-it-yourself Beck Depression inventory (BDI) can be downloaded or viewed online. If depression is suspected, it wouldn't be a bad idea to schedule an appointment with a qualified therapist. If depressive symptoms are moderate to severe, medication can help to supplement the work of therapy (from a primary care physician or psychiatrist).
Depression-screening.org has a good depression screener. Mayoclinc.com has a good depression self-assessment. Where can you find and online depression test? You can find online depression test all over the internet. I would suggest using www.everydayhealth.com/depression.
I couldn't find a website which offers a depression test on a rumination scale. However, there are many other depression screening tests by genuine doctors and medical associations that will give a fairly accurate result. Please check out the links. Mr. Goldberg is a very famous and acknowledged doctor. I've attached the link for his test as well.
