Codependency Test — Are You Too Devoted? What It Measures and How to Read Your Score

Codependency is characterised by an excessive need to care for others at the expense of oneself. This 30-question test explores four essential dimensions: self-sacrifice, control, low self-esteem and blurred boundaries. The results will help you understand how these patterns shape your relationships and your personal well-being. Discover concrete ways to find a healthy balance between giving of yourself and respecting your own needs. Another option: Psy Lounge, to put this into words with a CBT-trained AI.

In the article that follows, I explore emotional dependency and the need for the other. If you recognise yourself in this theme, I designed an emotional dependency test that helps you take stock of your relationship to others and your emotional autonomy. It comes with a guide to extend your reflection beyond the results. I also wrote a book on this subject, Your Thoughts Don’t Have to Run Your Life, if you would like to go further.

This "caring at the expense of yourself" can be measured: the codependency test.

What the test measures

• A tendency to sacrifice yourself for others, to ignore your own needs and to put others' well-being before your own.
• A need to control situations and people, often under the cover of helping or being kind.
• A sense of lacking personal worth, of depending on others' validation to feel worthy.
• Difficulty setting and maintaining healthy boundaries, and telling your emotions apart from other people's.

How to interpret your score

The result reads as an intensity, not a diagnosis:

• Low codependency: You show few signs of codependency. Your relationships are broadly balanced and respectful of your needs.
• Moderate codependency: Some codependent tendencies are present and show up mainly in your closest relationships.
• High codependency: Your level of codependency significantly affects the quality of your relationships and your personal well-being.
• Very high codependency: Codependency dominates your relationships and your daily life. You need support in order to regain your balance.
