Inner Child Test: discover your different facets
64 questions·10 min·5 dimensions·up to 18 clinical frameworks·6 report sections
Good morning,
This test looks at the inner child and stays in the present. It describes four parts that coexist today: the one that was wounded, the one that adjusted to expectations, the one that stayed free to play, the one that still invents. The report indicates the place each one occupies.
What you receive — a report written from your answers: what stands out, what sustains it, and where to start. This week, this month, later on.
How it is built — each axis is analyzed on its own, then cross-read with the others, through clinical reading frameworks. Your detailed answers are attached as an appendix. See an example report
The test runs over 64 questions and takes about 10 min, for a price of $3.60.
We'd also suggest reading the book The Practical CBT Guide, to take this reflection further. It's included in the price and downloadable.
If you have a question about your report, write to us at contact@psychologieetserenite.com: a psychotherapist will reply within 48 hours.

QUICK ANSWER
Inner Child Test: discover your different facets — a 64-question self-assessment, about 10 min. This test looks at the inner child in the present: the wounded part, the adapted part, the part still free to play, and the part that still invents. Once finished, you receive a detailed PDF report ($3.60): your score on each of its 5 dimensions, a radar chart, up to 18 clinical reading frameworks and a personalized action plan. It is designed to help you know yourself better.
This test covers mood, longing, rejection, hypervigilance, reassurance, boundaries, speaking your mind, identity, what others think, rules, responsibility, avoidance, pleasure, curiosity and readiness to change. What the test asks, for example Mood If certain times of year or certain places reawaken an old sorrow. If you feel a natural and spontaneous joy in everyday life. Longing If you feel an emotional void that nothing seems able to fill. If feelings of abandonment or loneliness resurface in you easily. Rejection If, when you're rejected, you feel a pain far greater than the situation warrants. If criticism affects you deeply and brings up feelings of unworthiness. Hypervigilance If part of you stays on guard, as if danger could return. If you have difficulty feeling safe even in familiar environments. Reassurance If there's a child in you who wasn't reassured enough. If you need comforting but find it hard to ask for it. Boundaries If you have trouble saying no for fear of displeasing others or losing their affection. If you allow yourself to say no when something doesn't suit you. Speaking your mind If you often say you're fine when you're not. If you express your emotions spontaneously, whether positive or negative. Identity If you often play a role to please others instead of being yourself. If you feel free to be who you really am in the presence of others. What others think If you seek approval before allowing yourself to make a choice. If you can be playful and light-hearted without fearing judgment. Rules If you conform to rules even when you find them unfair. If you feel free to change your mind and follow what you feel like. Responsibility If you feel responsible for the emotional well-being of those around you. If you're always accommodating even when it goes against your needs. Avoidance If you fade into the background to avoid conflict, even when you have things to say. If you know what you want and you're not afraid to express it clearly. Pleasure If you over-adapt to the point of forgetting your own desires. If you love to play and have fun like a child, even as an adult. Curiosity If you're naturally curious and you love discovering new things. If you enjoy exploring new ideas just for the pleasure of discovery. Readiness to change If your inner child has a real influence on the way you live and behave. If you believe you are capable of growing in this area.
