Good morning,
The Four Agreements and the Fifth Agreement offer ways to reflect on how we speak, interpret situations, and listen. This self-assessment explores how these principles show up in your everyday life, based on your own experiences.
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
How do you apply the Four Agreements and the Fifth Agreement? — a 63-question self-assessment, about 10 min. Explore how you practice the Four Agreements and the Fifth Agreement through your words, reactions, assumptions, effort, and listening. Once finished, you receive a detailed PDF report ($3.60): an interpretation of its 6 dimensions, a radar chart, up to 14 clinical reading frameworks and a personalized action plan. It is designed to help you know yourself better.
The Four Agreements and the Fifth Agreement offer ways to reflect on how we speak, interpret situations, and listen. This self-assessment explores how these principles show up in your everyday life, based on your own experiences. What the test asks, for example Being Impeccable with Your Word If you criticize someone behind their back, in ways you wouldn't say to their face. If you choose your words to build someone up rather than put them down, even in the middle of a disagreement. Not Taking Anything Personally If an unpleasant remark from a colleague or a loved one ruins your day. If you stay steady inside when faced with disagreement, even one expressed harshly. Making No Assumptions If you imagine what someone thinks of you instead of asking them directly. If you clearly state what you expect from a situation before it even begins. Always Doing Your Best If you blame yourself, afterward, for not having done more, even knowing you were tired or unwell that day. If you accept that a tiring or stressful day limits what you can reasonably give. Being Skeptical, but Learning to Listen If you take a negative thought about yourself at face value, without questioning it. If you try to hear what someone really means, beyond the words they happen to use in the moment. Readiness to Change If what you just described weighs on the way you function with others. If you want to change the way you function, and believe you're capable of it.
About this test
▼
Dimensions assessed
- ●Your reading of this difficulty- The way you explain your difficulty holding to these agreements, before the test tells you anything. This section does not measure any difficulty and does not produce a level: it collects a starting reading.
- ●Being Impeccable with Your Word- Your tendency to choose your words carefully, toward yourself as much as toward others, rather than to hurt, exaggerate, or put yourself down.
- ●Not Taking Anything Personally- Your ability to receive other people's words, moods, and judgments as something that speaks about them, rather than as a verdict on you.
- ●Making No Assumptions- Your tendency to ask and express yourself clearly rather than imagine what the other person thinks, wants, or feels.
- ●Always Doing Your Best- Your ability to recognize that your best varies with the day, your energy, and the circumstances, rather than judging yourself against a fixed, retrospective standard.
- ●Being Skeptical, but Learning to Listen- Your ability to question your own thoughts and the information you receive, while trying to hear the real intention behind the words.
- ●Readiness to Change- Your current readiness, distinct from the profile described by the five agreements: what you acknowledge about it, what you want, and what you feel capable of undertaking are measured separately.

Why take this test?
▼
The Four Agreements and the Fifth Agreement offer ways to reflect on how we speak, interpret situations, and listen. This self-assessment explores how these principles show up in your everyday life, based on your own experiences.
The questionnaire explores 6 areas: Your reading of this difficulty, Being Impeccable with Your Word, Not Taking Anything Personally, Making No Assumptions, Always Doing Your Best, Being Skeptical, but Learning to Listen. Your answers support reflection, not a diagnosis. A separate module explores readiness to change; it is not another trait of the model presented.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does this test measure?
▼
This test evaluates 6 psychological dimensions: Your reading of this difficulty, Being Impeccable with Your Word, Not Taking Anything Personally, Making No Assumptions, Always Doing Your Best, Being Skeptical, but Learning to Listen. The report distinguishes the areas explored and their limits of interpretation. A separate module explores readiness to change; it is not another trait of the model presented.
How long does this test take?
▼
The test contains 63 questions and takes approximately 10 min to complete. You can answer at your own pace — your progress is automatically saved in your browser.
How does this test work?
▼
The test is anonymous and requires no registration. After completing it, you immediately see a preview of your results. The detailed PDF report, with in-depth analysis, charts and personalized recommendations, is available for $3.60.
Is this test scientifically validated?
▼
This questionnaire explores your answers across 6 dimensions (Your reading of this difficulty, Being Impeccable with Your Word, Not Taking Anything Personally…). The theoretical references listed do not, by themselves, establish scientific validation of this questionnaire. Its results support reflection and do not replace a professional assessment.
What does the PDF report contain?
▼
Your report includes an analysis by dimension, explanations and personalised points for reflection and a separate readiness-to-change module. Scores are interpreted according to the purpose and limitations of this questionnaire.
Is my data kept confidential?
▼
No account creation, no email required — no sign-up needed at all. Your answers are sent to our servers while you take the test. All data is automatically deleted after 30 days — see our Privacy page for full detail.
Who is this test for?
▼
Read this test’s introduction and dimensions to check whether they match your situation. Answer from the perspective specified in the instructions.
Can I retake the test later?
▼
Yes, you can retake this test as many times as you wish. Some people take it again after several months to observe how their profile evolves. Each new attempt generates its own report — previous answers are not reused.
What should I do with my results?
▼
The report organises your answers and offers points for reflection. You can discuss it with a professional; it does not replace their assessment or prescribe treatment.
Can people close to me also take it?
▼
Yes. Each person gets their own anonymous, unique report, based on THEIR answers. Comparing profiles within a family or couple can be useful — provided each person takes the test honestly and on their own, without influencing one another during the answers.
What's the difference between the Four Agreements and the Fifth Agreement?
▼
The first four agreements — being impeccable with your word, not taking anything personally, making no assumptions, and always doing your best — come from Don Miguel Ruiz's first book. The Fifth Agreement, being skeptical while learning to listen, was added in a later book to complete the first four, not replace them. This test explores all five as a set, each scored separately.
Do I need to have read the books to answer?
▼
No. Each question describes a concrete situation — a hurtful remark, a promise that's hard to keep, a silence you might misread — and can be answered without having read The Four Agreements or The Fifth Agreement. Having read them gives no advantage in your answers.
Does this test measure my knowledge of the books or my habits?
▼
Your habits, never your knowledge. This is not a quiz about the content of Don Miguel Ruiz's books: no question asks about dates, Toltec concepts, or the author's biography. Every answer describes what you actually do or think in everyday life.
How should I interpret my results?
▼
The report places each agreement separately: scoring high on one and low on another is a common profile, not a contradiction. No agreement cancels out the others, and their combination matters more than a single score or an overall average.
How can I use these principles day to day?
▼
The report suggests focusing on a single agreement for a few days rather than trying to change all five at once. The recommendations tied to each agreement are grounded in concrete situations — a remark you received, a promise you made, a silence you interpreted — not abstract principles.
