About this test
▼
Family should be a place of safety — but some family dynamics (control, devaluation, manipulation, interference) cause lasting harm to their members. This 30-question test evaluates four dimensions of your current experience: the frequency of observed toxic behaviors, the emotional impact on you as an adult, the relational patterns reproduced in your other relationships, and your capacity to set limits or take distance. It is a self-assessment centered on your experience — it does not evaluate your parents or family. The results help you clarify where you stand and identify the most relevant resources (CBT, Young schemas, systemic therapy, support groups).
Dimensions assessed
- ●Detecting toxic family behaviors- Frequency of toxic behaviors observed in your family (control, devaluation, intrusion, manipulation, interference).
- ●Emotional impact on the adult- Current consequences on your self-esteem, energy and functioning (guilt, shame, hypervigilance).
- ●Learned relational patterns- Repetition of family dynamics in your other relationships (couple, friendship, work).
- ●Capacity for boundaries and distance- Ability to set clear limits and take physical or emotional distance when needed (inverted: high score = difficulty).

Intensity of the wound when someone criticizes, ignores or fails to respond to you: reaction disproportionate to the current trigger.
