Paranoid Traits Test: Mistrust and Suspicion
64 questions·10 min·5 dimensions·up to 17 clinical frameworks·5 report sections
Good morning,
This test is about paranoid traits through four 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 64 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 64-question self-assessment, about 10 min. This test looks at paranoid traits through four aspects. The report follows what the vigilance costs rather than the suspicions. Once finished, you receive a detailed PDF report ($3.60): your score on each 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 test covers humiliation, repair, rumination, conflict, attachment, secrecy, support, control, judgment, lying, what others think, hypervigilance, anticipation, anxiety and readiness to change. What the test asks, for example Humiliation If you easily feel attacked or humiliated. If you don't easily feel offended by other people's remarks. Repair If you hold a grudge for a long time after being wronged. If you forgive easily when someone hurts you. Rumination If you dwell for a long time on the wrongs done to you. If you move on fairly quickly after a disagreement. Conflict If, when someone takes credit for one of your ideas, you hold a lasting grudge. If, when a conflict is resolved, you no longer feel the need to bring it up again. Attachment If you doubt the loyalty of those close to you without sufficient reason. If you feel emotionally safe with the people who are dear to you. Secrecy If you fear that what you confide will be used against you. If you open up freely to the people who matter to you. Support If you wonder whether those close to you would speak well of you in your absence. If you believe your friends would stand by you if things went wrong. Control If you quietly check whether those close to you are really telling you the truth. If you trust those close to you without ulterior thoughts. Judgment If you look for hidden meanings behind harmless remarks. If you assume people have good intentions until proven otherwise. Lying If you pay attention to details that could reveal someone is lying to you. If you generally believe people are honest with you. What others think If, when two friends talk about you in your absence, you suspect they are criticizing you. If you readily give the benefit of the doubt to people you barely know. Hypervigilance If you stay on your guard even in situations that pose no danger. If you relax easily around other people. Anticipation If you prepare responses in case someone attacks you. If you take people as they come, without watching out for a dirty trick. Anxiety If you feel uneasy when you can't keep an eye on your surroundings (the entrance, the exits). If you generally feel safe and relaxed in public places. Readiness to change If these paranoid traits have a real impact on your relationships and life. If you believe you are capable of growing in this area.

Why take this test?
▼
This test is about paranoid traits through four 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.
The questionnaire explores 4 areas: Mistrust, Hypervigilance, Doubt about loyalty, Resentment and touchiness. Your answers support reflection, not a diagnosis. A separate module explores readiness to change; it is not another trait of the model presented.
