Jealousy and Possessiveness Test: What It Measures and 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, monitoring, social comparison and emotional reactions. The results will help you tell healthy jealousy apart from problematic jealousy, and understand the deeper mechanisms that fuel this emotion. Discover concrete strategies to manage your reactions and build relationships based on trust.
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.
