Jealousy and Possessiveness test: what it measures and how to interpret your score
Jealousy is a universal human emotion, but when it becomes excessive, it can poison relationships. This 60-question test explores four dimensions of jealousy: insecurity, surveillance, social comparison, and emotional reactions. The results will help you distinguish healthy jealousy from problematic jealousy and understand the deep mechanisms that fuel this emotion. Discover concrete strategies for managing your reactions and building trusting relationships.
In the article that follows, I explore jealousy and romantic insecurity. On this theme, I designed a jealousy test to help you take stock of the intensity and sources of your jealousy, with a guide to go further. And if you have real messages to decode, ScanMyLove analyses your conversations with your partner from a simple export and reveals the true dynamic of the relationship.
What the test measures
- Deep feeling of not being good enough, fear of losing the other person to someone better.
- Checking and controlling behaviors regarding your partner's activities, communications, and relationships.
- Tendency to compare yourself to others and perceive threats in your partner's social interactions.
- Intensity and nature of the emotional reactions triggered by jealousy-inducing situations.
How to interpret your score
Your result reads as an intensity, not a diagnosis:
- Healthy jealousy : Your level of jealousy is normal and healthy. You trust your partner and manage your emotions well.
- Moderate jealousy : Your jealousy is present but remains managed. Certain specific situations trigger more intense reactions.
- High jealousy : Your jealousy is significant and impacts the quality of your relationship and your personal well-being.
- Excessive jealousy : Your jealousy is excessive and potentially toxic for your relationship. It requires professional intervention.
