📄 Sample report — illustrative profile (fictional persona). Your real report is assessed from YOUR answers after the test.

Hello Emma,

Profile synthesis

Emotional dependency is not a lack of willpower — it is often a way of attaching that was built early, in a context where emotional security was fragile. What follows outlines its contours so you can better understand them. Your profile shows moderate manifestations. Some dimensions deserve attention without being alarming: they describe real but contained difficulties that do not yet occupy the center of your functioning. The moderate level is precisely the one where observation is most useful, because it can evolve in either direction depending on what is happening in your life. Identifying the contexts and moments where these dimensions intensify — fatigue, conflict, overload, isolation — gives you concrete levers to act early. Talking about it with a trusted person or a professional, even without urgency, can help clarify what is at play and avoid a worsening through accumulation.

Overall result

Moderate emotional dependency

Your responses suggest the presence of certain tendencies toward emotional dependence which, though manageable, deserve to be recognized so they do not intensify over time or in contexts of heightened vulnerability. Clinically, this profile indicates that in certain relational situations, such as conflict, periods of stress, or strong attachments, mechanisms like reassurance-seeking, difficulty tolerating distance, or partial self-erasure may activate. These dynamics do not define your overall functioning, but they constitute useful warning signals inviting proactive and structured personal development work.

Detailed analysis

Fear of AbandonmentLow

This tendency is discreet in you — here is what it tells about you.

Your responses suggest that the fear of losing loved ones does not occupy an overwhelming place in your inner life. Clinically, this points to a sufficiently secure attachment base, allowing you to tolerate temporary separations without a major activation of your emotional alarm system. You appear able to trust in the continuity of a bond even when the other person is physically absent, which fosters relational exchanges grounded in genuine choice rather than in the dread of loss. This inner stability forms a valuable protective foundation for lasting, balanced connections.

Your answers do not signal any particular difficulty on fear of abandonment. 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

  • You could keep cultivating this inner security by regularly noticing the personal resources that support your emotional balance in everyday life, staying aware of what sustains you.
  • You could deepen your understanding of attachment dynamics so you can better recognize and support the loved ones who, unlike you, live with more relational anxiety and insecurity.
  • You could explore relational mindfulness practices to maintain and refine your capacity to be fully present in your bonds without over-investing in them or becoming controlling.
  • You could nurture your current relationships by expressing your attachment proactively, thereby reinforcing the mutual sense of security within the important bonds of your life.
Need for ApprovalModerate

This tendency is present in you — here is what it sheds light on.

Your responses suggest a moderate sensitivity to the gaze and judgment of others, without this constituting a major obstacle to your autonomy. Clinically, this profile is common and reflects a balance between the natural need for social recognition, a fundamental need in reference psychological models, and the capacity to maintain a relatively stable self-esteem. However, in certain situations of stress or high relational stakes, external validation may temporarily override your internal evaluation, creating an occasional dependence on the approval of others that is useful to recognize.

Your answers indicate present but contained manifestations on need for approval. 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

  • You could practice self-validation regularly by noting each evening three actions or decisions from your day that you feel proud of, independently of any external feedback received.
  • You could identify the specific contexts, whether professional, family, or friendly, where your need for approval intensifies, in order to understand which underlying emotional needs seek satisfaction.
  • You could deliberately experiment with low-stakes situations where you act on your own criteria without seeking validation, gradually reinforcing your confidence in your inner judgment.
  • You could explore readings or resources on internalized self-esteem to further consolidate your evaluative autonomy during moments of vulnerability, uncertainty, or self-doubt.
Difficulty with SolitudeLow

This tendency is discreet in you — here is what it tells about you.

Your responses suggest a notable ease with solitude, a sign of a strong capacity to inhabit your inner space without significant anxiety. Clinically, this ability reflects a sufficient psychic differentiation between self and other: the presence or absence of another person does not centrally determine your sense of existence or personal worth. Being able to be alone without distress also indicates a capacity to provide yourself with a form of inner comfort, a valuable emotional skill associated with greater resilience in the face of the ruptures, transitions, and relational challenges that life brings.

On difficulty with solitude, this level calls for the same reading as detailed above for another dimension of the same intensity (see the analysis above).

Recommendations

  • You could further enrich your inner life by exploring contemplative practices such as writing, meditation, or solitary walks, which deepen your relationship with yourself and your creative resources.
  • You could use these times of solitude intentionally to reflect on your needs, values, and life directions, thereby consolidating your personal identity in a regular and structured way.
  • You could kindly share your peaceful relationship with solitude with loved ones who experience it as difficult, bearing witness to what it can offer without minimizing their lived experience.
  • You could explore how this ease with solitude plays out in your relationships, ensuring it does not turn into a defensive withdrawal that would block genuine, deep relational intimacy.
Self-ErasureModerate

This tendency is present in you — here is what it sheds light on.

Your responses suggest a moderate tendency to fade in certain specific relationships or situations, without this representing a pervasive and generalized pattern. Clinically, this profile is frequent and often reflects an adaptive strategy developed to maintain relational peace, obtain approval, or avoid conflict. Situational self-erasure may signal particular contexts, such as authority figures, intimate partners, or moments of conflict, where the authentic expression of your needs meets an inhibition. Though manageable, this mechanism deserves to be recognized before it consolidates into a more restrictive, chronic pattern.

On self-erasure, this level calls for the same reading as detailed above for another dimension of the same intensity (see the analysis above).

Recommendations

  • You could keep a journal of situations where you stayed silent or held back, noting what seemed to justify this self-erasure, in order to identify repetitive patterns to deconstruct.
  • You could practice self-assertion in low-stakes contexts, such as expressing a preference at a restaurant or declining an invitation, to gradually reinforce the reflex of authentic expression.
  • You could remind yourself regularly that your needs, desires, and opinions hold equal value to those of others, and that expressing them is an act of self-respect and honesty toward the relationship.
  • You could explore recognized approaches such as CBT or nonviolent communication to build a repertoire of concrete assertive phrasings suited to the situations where self-erasure usually activates.
Readiness to ChangePre-contemplation

This tendency is discreet in you — here is what it tells about you.

These questions measure your readiness to change. Your score suggests you are not yet fully convinced of the need to evolve — a valid stage of the process. Awareness always comes before decision. Your report helps clarify what is at stake.

On readiness to change, this level calls for the same reading as detailed above for another dimension of the same intensity (see the analysis above).

Recommendations

  • You might begin by observing, without judgment, the moments when your current patterns cost you something — a strained relationship, a missed opportunity, inner fatigue — to gradually nurture awareness.
  • You might read your report with open curiosity rather than pressure to change: understanding before acting is a valid and necessary stage in its own right.

Your action plan

Right now

  • Need for Approval — You could practice self-validation regularly by noting each evening three actions or decisions from your day that you feel proud of, independently of any external feedback received.
  • Need for Approval — You could identify the specific contexts, whether professional, family, or friendly, where your need for approval intensifies, in order to understand which underlying emotional needs seek satisfaction.
  • Self-Erasure — You could keep a journal of situations where you stayed silent or held back, noting what seemed to justify this self-erasure, in order to identify repetitive patterns to deconstruct.
  • Self-Erasure — You could practice self-assertion in low-stakes contexts, such as expressing a preference at a restaurant or declining an invitation, to gradually reinforce the reflex of authentic expression.

In the coming weeks

  • Need for Approval — You could deliberately experiment with low-stakes situations where you act on your own criteria without seeking validation, gradually reinforcing your confidence in your inner judgment.
  • Self-Erasure — You could remind yourself regularly that your needs, desires, and opinions hold equal value to those of others, and that expressing them is an act of self-respect and honesty toward the relationship.

In the long run

  • Retake this test in 3 to 6 months to measure your evolution. Significant changes on elevated dimensions are often visible at this time scale.
  • If you start therapeutic work, identify together 1 or 2 priority dimensions rather than addressing everything at once — targeted work is more effective than global work.
  • Build a lasting support network: health professional (psychologist, psychiatrist, primary care doctor), close ones, possibly support groups. Solidity comes from number and complementarity.
  • Take care of physiological foundations (sleep, nutrition, physical activity): they do not cure but they strongly condition psychological availability for therapeutic work.
