Codependency Test — Do You Love Too Much?: what it measures and how to interpret your score

Codependency is characterized 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 influence your relationships and personal well-being. Discover concrete strategies for restoring a healthy balance between giving to others and respecting your own needs.

In the article that follows, I explore communication within the couple. If you recognise yourself in this theme, I designed a couple communication test that helps you take stock of your communication patterns as a couple. It comes with a guide to extend your reflection beyond the results. Worth knowing: I also offer ScanMyLove, a tool that analyses couple conversations from a simple export, to better understand a relationship's dynamic.

What the test measures

• Tendency to sacrifice yourself for others, to ignore your own needs, and to place others' well-being before your own.
• Need to control situations and people, often under the guise of help or benevolence.

Take the test: Codependency → — Do you suspect you love too much, at your own expense? This self-assessment measures these four dimensions and where you stand on each.

• Feeling of lacking personal worth, depending on others' validation to feel worthy.
• Difficulty setting and maintaining healthy boundaries, distinguishing your emotions from those of others.

How to interpret your score

Your result reads as an intensity, not a diagnosis:

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