Invisible Family Loyalty Test: patterns and family secrets
63 questions·10 min·5 dimensions and a separate readiness-to-change module·up to 18 clinical frameworks·6 report sections
Reviewed by Gildas Garrec, CBT practitioner
Good morning,
This test looks at invisible family loyalties — at what circulates within a family without ever being said. It examines four aspects: the scripts that replay from one generation to the next, the sense of owing something to your own people, the place silence occupies, and the room you already have to choose differently. The report describes each of them.
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 63 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.

QUICK ANSWER
Invisible Family Loyalty Test: patterns and family secrets — a 63-question self-assessment, about 10 min. This test looks at invisible family loyalties: scripts replayed from one generation to the next, the sense of a debt owed, and the place silence occupies. Once finished, you receive a detailed PDF report ($3.60): an interpretation 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 identity, attachment, conflict, responsibility, guilt, boundaries, commitments, secrecy, speaking your mind, money, rules, independence, pleasure, plans and readiness to change. What the test asks, for example Identity If you feel you're following a path laid out in advance by your family. If you have been able to build your own identity distinct from that of your family. Attachment If you tend to choose partners who resemble one of your parents. If you choose partners or friends who replay family dynamics. Conflict If the same kinds of conflict come up in your life as at home as a child. If you spot family patterns and choose not to repeat them. Responsibility If you feel responsible for the well-being of your extended family. If you feel responsible for your family's happiness or success. Guilt If you feel guilty when you make choices that differ from those of your family. If you can make choices different from your family's without feeling guilty. Boundaries If you force yourself into sacrifices so as not to disappoint your family. If you can set boundaries with your family without feeling guilty. Commitments If you feel obligated to perpetuate family traditions even if they don't suit you. If you allow yourself to build your life according to your own values. Secrecy If you sense that there are taboo subjects in your family that are never discussed. If certain family truths were never spoken openly. Speaking your mind If, as a child, you sensed that a question made everyone uncomfortable, and you never asked it again. If you feel free to say no to expectations that don't suit you. Money If you suffer from the same problems (health, money, relationships) as certain members of your family. If certain patterns (arguments, breakups, debts) repeat from one generation to the next. Rules If you find it hard to do otherwise than what's always been done in your family. If you tell apart what comes from you and what was passed down to you. Independence If leaving the family mold makes you feel you're betraying your own people. If you feel free to live your own life without feeling guilty toward your family. Pleasure If you feel that being happy would be a betrayal of family members who are suffering. If you allow yourself to succeed and be happy even if your family wasn't. Plans If you have an unconscious feeling that you don't have the right to succeed more than your parents. If you feel you're the author of your life rather than a prisoner of your history. Readiness to change If your family loyalty has a real impact on your life choices and relationships. If you believe you are capable of growing in this area.
About this test
▼
Dimensions assessed
- ●Pattern Repetition- Tendency to unconsciously reproduce family patterns: choice of partner, failures, illnesses, occupations, or similar life situations.
- ●Family Debt- Sense of obligation toward the family, need to repay a symbolic debt or to repair injustices suffered by previous generations.
- ●Family Secrets- Presence of unspoken truths, taboos, and family secrets that weigh on the family system and influence subsequent generations.
- ●Liberation- Ability to free yourself from invisible loyalties, to live your own life, and to make autonomous choices without guilt.
- ●Readiness to Change- Measures your current readiness to acknowledge the impact of this topic on your life and engage in a process of growth.
- ●Your reading of these repetitions- The way you explain these repetitions and this sense of owing something to your family to yourself, before the test tells you anything at all. This section measures no difficulty and produces no level: it gathers a starting reading, because these repetitions are not lived the same way depending on whether you see them as something passed down without being chosen, as the result of a specific event, or as your own way of being.
