Toxic Relationship Test: What It Measures and Your Score
Toxic relationships can take hold insidiously and be hard to identify from the inside. This 30-question test explores four key dimensions of relational toxicity: manipulation, control, devaluation and isolation. Each dimension is assessed precisely to give you a clear view of the dynamic in your relationship. The results will help you become aware of harmful behaviours and consider protective action.
In the article that follows, I explore toxic relationships and whether to stay or leave. If you recognise yourself in this theme, I designed a toxic relationship test that helps you take stock of how toxic your relationship really is. It comes with a guide to extend your reflection beyond the results.
What the test measures
- Use of covert strategies to influence your thoughts, emotions and behaviours.
- Attempts to control your choices, your activities and your personal freedom.
- Behaviours designed to diminish your self-esteem, your confidence and your personal worth.
- Strategies aimed at cutting you off from your circle, your friends and your family.
How to interpret your score
The result reads as an intensity, not as a diagnosis:
