Assertiveness Test
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 assesses assertiveness through several aspects: how you put what you feel into words, what happens when a disagreement comes up, whether or not you manage to say no, and how entitled you feel to speak up. The report pinpoints the moment you go quiet: with whom, on which topics, and at what point in the conversation.
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.
If you have a question about your report, write to us at contact@psychologieetserenite.com: a psychotherapist will reply within 48 hours.
And if what you are going through is happening at work, I'd suggest ScanMyJob: it goes back through your work conversations — messages, email threads — and turns them into a dated, exportable record of facts. It qualifies nothing: it dates and it counts.

QUICK ANSWER
Assertiveness Test — a 63-question self-assessment, about 10 min. This test assesses assertiveness: self-expression, handling disagreement, the ability to set boundaries, and confidence in speaking up. 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 interactive test covers speaking your mind, speaking up, boundaries, conflict, guilt, what others think, confidence, self-esteem, recognition, asking for things and readiness to change. What the test asks, for example Speaking your mind Whether you talk around your request before getting to the point. Whether you say what you feel, annoyance as well as joy, as it happens. Speaking up Whether, in a group discussion, you wait to be asked before giving your opinion. Whether, in a group of friends or neighbors, you're the one who gets the discussion going. Boundaries Whether you say yes to a request that doesn't suit you, even though you would have preferred to say no. Whether, when your schedule is already full, you turn down any extra favor someone asks of you. Conflict Whether you keep putting off a conversation you need to have with someone close to you. Whether you defend your position to the end, without raising your voice. Guilt Whether you apologize for being just slightly late, even though there's no need to. Whether you say no to a request without launching into long justifications or feeling guilty afterward. What others think Whether you let a question that's too personal slide instead of saying you'd rather not answer it. Whether you choose to help or not based on what you really want, without giving in to fear of how others see you. Confidence Whether, in front of someone who impresses you, you trail off in the middle of your sentences. Whether, in a group where the others know more than you about the subject, you feel you belong. Self-esteem Whether, when someone congratulates you on something you did well, you reply that it was easy. Whether, in a discussion, you consider your contributions useful. Recognition Whether you take on a task someone else has left unfinished. Whether, when someone around you passes off your idea as their own, you point it out calmly. Asking for things Whether, when you're told about a decision that's already been made, you stay quiet and avoid reopening it. Whether, when a purchase disappoints you, you ask the seller for the compensation you think you deserve. Readiness to change Whether what you've just described weighs on your daily life. Whether you want to change the way you function day to day.
About this test
▼
Dimensions assessed
- ●Self-Expression- Ability to clearly express your opinions, needs, and feelings.
- ●Conflict Management- Ability to handle disagreements in a constructive and respectful manner.
- ●Boundary Setting- Ability to say no, decline excessive demands, and protect your personal space.
- ●Confidence in Interactions- Assurance and ease in interpersonal exchanges, even difficult ones.
- ●Readiness to Change- Measures your current readiness to acknowledge the impact of this topic on your life and start making changes.
- ●How you see your assertiveness- How you account for the way you assert yourself, before the test tells you anything at all. This section doesn't measure any difficulty or produce a level: it simply records your initial view, because asserting yourself feels different depending on whether you see it as a lifelong way of being, as something learned in childhood, or as the effect of your current circumstances.
