Paranoid Traits Test: Mistrust and Suspicion
63 questions·10 min·5 dimensions and a separate readiness-to-change module·up to 17 clinical frameworks·5 report sections
Reviewed by Gildas Garrec, CBT practitioner
Good morning,
This test is about paranoid traits through several aspects: the intentions attributed to others, the constant attention to signals of danger, the loyalty of close people called into question, and how long an offense stays alive. The report follows the cost of that vigilance rather than the content of the suspicions: the time it takes up.
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
Paranoid Traits Test: Mistrust and Suspicion — a 63-question self-assessment, about 10 min. This test looks at paranoid traits through several aspects. The report follows what the vigilance costs rather than the suspicions. 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 looks at mistrust of other people's intentions, vigilance to danger signals, trust in the loyalty of close people, how long an offense stays alive, and readiness to change. What the test asks, for example Mistrust If, when someone you have only just met is immediately very friendly, you wonder what they're after. If, with a stranger, you start from the assumption that they mean well. Vigilance If you reread your messages to spot what could be turned against you. If, in a group, you let your attention relax without watching who is doing what. The loyalty of close people If an unexplained delay from your partner immediately arouses your suspicions. If, with the people close to you, you can safely say what weighs on you. How long an offense lasts If, when someone claims your idea as their own in front of others, the grudge stays with you for a long time. If, once an argument is settled, you close the subject and move on. Readiness to change If what you have just described weighs on your life and your relationships. If you want to change the way you function day to day.
