Hello Emma,
On the register of personality, what follows describes tendencies and preferences — colors of how you function, with no good or bad profile. Your answers describe marked traits in 1 dimension. At this level, these traits are no longer merely occasional: they express themselves across several everyday contexts and can weigh on sleep, mood, relationships, or motivation. Professional support can help explore this dimension in more detail, understand what sustains it, and identify levers for change suited to your situation. This observation is not a diagnosis — only a professional can make one — but a serious marker that deserves to be taken into account rather than minimized.
Overall result
Rather external locusOn the locus of control axis (internal ↔ external), your position: Rather external locus. This is a tendency, neither good nor bad.
This tendency is discreet in you — here is what it tells about you.
Your answers suggest a limited sense of personal control over the course of your life. Clinically, this profile corresponds to a causal attribution oriented outward: events seem to be determined more by forces independent of your actions. This pattern can hinder the initiation of goal-directed behaviors, insofar as the perceived link between personal effort and outcome appears fragile. Clinical psychology research associates this pattern with lower persistence in the face of obstacles and a tendency to underestimate one's own capacity to influence the immediate environment.
Your answers do not signal any particular difficulty on internal control. This dimension does not appear as a current area of difficulty in your profile. You seem to have functional resources in this area, which act as a protective factor: they cushion everyday tensions and can compensate, at least in part, for other dimensions where the margin is narrower. These resources are not fixed once and for all; identifying and naming them helps you mobilize them more consciously when the context hardens. A low score reflects a snapshot of your functioning at the moment of the test, not a permanent guarantee — so it remains useful to treat it as a benchmark rather than as a settled given. If you observe fluctuations over time, this can inform you about the contexts where this dimension becomes more sensitive — stress, life transitions, specific relationships, periods of fatigue or overload — and give you a head start to respond early.
Recommendations
This tendency is present in you — here is what it sheds light on.
Your answers suggest that you acknowledge the influence of others in your journey while retaining a solid sense of personal autonomy. This profile indicates a realistic and nuanced reading of social dynamics: you are able to integrate the role of authority figures, decision-makers or those around you without passively submitting to them. Clinically, this balance is associated with a good ability to navigate complex environments, a capacity to cooperate while defending one's interests, and a relational flexibility that recognized approaches consider protective of psychological well-being.
Your answers indicate present but contained manifestations on power of others. The moderate level typically reflects activation at times, often linked to identifiable triggers (stressful situations, relational conflicts, periods of fatigue or isolation). At this stage, the dimension is not dominant in your functioning, but it deserves observation: the main risk of the moderate level is that it worsens by accumulation. In practical terms, watching the frequency rather than the intensity of an isolated episode gives a truer picture of the trend: it is repetition, more than occasional strength, that tips the moderate toward the marked. Keeping a regular check-in (brief journal, conversation with a trusted person) can help anticipate. Identifying two or three recurring triggers and preparing a simple response in advance — a break, a call, a soothing activity — reduces the likelihood of the dimension settling in. If other dimensions evolve in parallel, this one can become more salient through cumulative effect; and if these manifestations gain ground despite your efforts, talking about it early with a professional is in no way disproportionate — it is often at this stage that support is most effective and shortest.
Recommendations
This tendency is present in you — here is what it sheds light on.
Your answers suggest a balanced belief in the role of chance: you acknowledge that unpredictable factors can influence your path, while giving significant weight to the importance of your actions and personal involvement. Clinically, this balance is consistent with a realistic reading of the world: human trajectories indeed result from a combination of deliberate effort and contextual circumstances. This profile is associated with a good capacity for adaptation, an ability to seize opportunities while maintaining a proactive approach, and a psychologically protective tolerance for uncertainty.
On luck and fate, this level calls for the same reading as detailed above for another dimension of the same intensity (see the analysis above).
Recommendations
This tendency is clear in you — here is what it reveals, to understand and move forward.
You clearly perceive the impact of your patterns, want to evolve, and believe you can. You are in an active readiness state. Your report proposes concrete levers to turn this intention into lasting action.
Your answers describe a marked trait on readiness to change. At this level, the dimension can self-perpetuate through self-reinforcing mechanisms (avoidance, attentional focus, or rumination), whose exact form depends on the dimension concerned. This trait typically manifests in several everyday contexts, not just in exceptional situations. Understanding the self-reinforcing mechanism is often the key: for instance, avoiding a situation brings short-term relief but confirms to the brain that it was dangerous, which strengthens avoidance the next time. Spotting this kind of loop in your own daily life — without judging yourself — is already a lever for change, because you can only act on what you have first identified. It can interact with other elevated dimensions of the profile — for instance by worsening the feeling of overload or limiting available resources to cope with it. It can be useful to talk about it with a professional (psychologist, doctor) to explore in more detail what is at play and identify levers for action; structured approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy work precisely on these chains, through small concrete and realistic steps rather than willpower alone.
Recommendations
Your profile shows clear relief without several dimensions rising together: Power of others stands out, 25 points above Internal control, while the others remain more measured. This reads differently from a picture where several dimensions reinforce one another: here, what is at play seems concentrated rather than diffuse. That is often more tractable — an identified point is easier to work on than a tangled whole — provided it is not treated in isolation: even concentrated, it rests on the rest of how you function.

In the long run
7-day observation journal
Each day, spot one situation where “Readiness to Change” showed up. Note the automatic thought, the emotion (0–100) and what you did. Then write one more balanced, alternative reading. After 7 days, re-read your notes: the recurring patterns become visible — the first step to change them.
Support resources
If you are struggling, you are not alone.
This report supports self-knowledge and does not replace a consultation with a psychologist or doctor.
To go further, working with a professional is valuable. A few trusted directories to find a practitioner near you:
Tip: prioritise licensed/registered professionals and evidence-based therapies (e.g. CBT).
This report is generated by artificial intelligence from your answers only, structured around recognised clinical models (attachment theory, CBT, Young’s schemas…) cited within the report. No health professional is involved in writing it. It is a self-knowledge tool, not a diagnosis: the analyses are avenues for understanding to weigh against your own experience, and do not replace the assessment of a health professional.

Answer : Sometimes
And how long have you noticed this?
It has been more present over the past few months, though I recognise it from before too.
