Reviewed by Gildas Garrec, CBT practitioner

Good morning,

This test explores several aspects of how you function: how much weight rules carry in your decisions, the part impulse plays, how much other people's experiences affect you, and how frustration turns into action. The report describes how you tend to operate and how these aspects fit together.

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 Inside the Godfather's Mind, 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

Rule-breaking, lying and remorse — a 63-question self-assessment, about 10 min. This test looks at antisocial traits: rule-breaking, impulsivity, how you experience remorse, and the form aggression takes. Once finished, you receive a detailed PDF report ($3.60): an interpretation of its 5 dimensions, a radar chart, up to 17 clinical reading frameworks and a personalized action plan. It is designed to help you know yourself better.

This interactive test covers rules, the law, honesty, commitments, decisions made in the moment, attachment to others, how much their pain affects you, remorse, how you react to frustration, and your readiness to change. What the test asks, for example Rules Whether a posted rule feels like a barrier you get around as soon as it's in your way. Whether signs and administrative rules seem to you to hold community life together. The law Whether, given the chance, you would be willing to make money in a way you know is illegal. Whether you usually pay a bill or a fine as soon as it arrives. Honesty Whether bending the truth on an official document doesn't bother you when it works in your favor. Whether you report finding an object or money that isn't yours even if no one could ever find out. Commitments Whether you prove unreliable when someone is counting on you over the long term. Whether keeping a commitment matters to you, even when it costs you. Decisions made in the moment Whether, on impulse, you send a message without thinking about how it will land. Whether, before signing anything important, you write out each step and double-check it. Attachment Whether you maintain long-lasting relationships, even when opportunities to keep them up are rare. Whether, over time, you grow truly attached to the people you see regularly. How others' experiences affect you Whether, when you hear about people going through a difficult ordeal, you remain fairly unmoved. Whether you feel the pain of someone close to you right away when they share bad news. Remorse Whether, after gaining something at someone else's expense, you feel no remorse. Whether something hurtful you said keeps coming back to you long afterward. Frustration Whether, in a group, you raise your voice until the discussion turns back your way. Whether, even when someone openly provokes you, you stay calm and keep speaking in an even tone. Readiness to change Whether what you just described weighs on your daily life. Whether you want to change the way you function day to day.

About this test

▼

Dimensions assessed

●
How you see this pattern- How you explain your tendency to break rules, before the test tells you anything about it. This section doesn't measure any difficulty or produce a level: it simply records your initial view, and none of the four answers offered is more correct than another. Your answer is discussed in the section of the report that focuses on you.
●
Rule-breaking- This axis measures how much weight rules carry in your decisions: an inner compass that holds even when no one is watching, or an outside constraint whose force depends on the context.
●
Impulsivity and irresponsibility- Two things are assessed separately: the time between the urge and the act, and your ability to keep a commitment over time. The report looks at them separately, since they don't always go together.
●
Callousness and low remorse- How much other people's experience resonates with you, and what remains after an act that cost someone else. Noticing someone's pain and being moved by it are measured separately here.
●
Aggression- The point at which you tip into a power struggle when a situation frustrates you, and the form the exchange then takes. The report also looks at what follows the episode, once the tension has settled.
●
Readiness to Change- This dimension doesn't measure a trait, only your starting point: what you recognize in this topic and what you'd like to change. The gap between the two suggests the way forward.
