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 four aspects: how you put what you feel into words, what happens when a disagreement comes up, the way a refusal gets said or does not, and the sense of being entitled to speak. The report locates the moment your voice withdraws: in front of whom, on which subjects, at what stage of the exchange.
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 test covers speaking your mind, speaking up, conflict, dialogue, judgment, repair, boundaries, what others think, time, confidence, self-esteem, recognition, support, rejection and readiness to change. What the test asks, for example Speaking your mind If you keep your opinion to yourself when it differs from the group's. If you say what you think in a clear and direct way. Speaking up If you wait to be asked before daring to give your opinion. If you feel comfortable being the first to speak up in a group. Conflict If you avoid confrontations, even when they would be necessary. If, when faced with a conflict, you look for a solution that suits both parties. Dialogue If, when someone is angry with you, you completely fall apart. If you stay calm and respectful even in tense discussions. Judgment If you feel attacked when criticized, even constructively. If you can acknowledge your own faults in a conflict without feeling diminished. Repair If, after an argument, you dwell for a long time on what you should have said. If, after a disagreement, you know how to reach out to the other person to restart the dialogue. Boundaries If you say yes to requests that don't suit you to avoid disappointing people. If you can say no without justifying yourself at length or feeling guilty. What others think If you sometimes let yourself be taken advantage of for fear of displeasing. If you set your priorities and stick to them despite pressure from others. Time If you sacrifice your personal time when people insist. If you protect your time off even when you're criticized for being unavailable. Confidence If you feel intimidated in front of people in positions of authority. If you dare to defend your point of view, even in front of someone more respected than you. Self-esteem If you downplay compliments when you receive them. If you believe in the value of what you bring to your interactions. Recognition If you need other people's approval to feel sure of yourself. If you know how to ask for what you believe you deserve, such as a raise. Support If you prefer to manage on your own rather than ask for help. If, when you have a specific need, you simply state it rather than hoping someone will guess it. Rejection If you keep your needs quiet rather than risk bothering others. If you don't do favors reluctantly out of fear of rejection. Readiness to change If you want to grow your assertiveness. If you believe you are capable of growing in this area.
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 engage in a process of growth.
- ●Your reading of your self-assertion- The way you explain your way of asserting yourself 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 self-assertion is not lived the same way depending on whether you see it as a lifelong way of being, as something learned in childhood, or as the effect of your current context.
Reference frameworks and authors
- based on Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (RSES) (Rosenberg, 1965)
