CLEAR ANSWERS TO COMMON QUESTIONS

Frequently Asked Questions

What does this quiz measure?
It screens for three patterns: negative filtering and expectations, critical communication, and flexibility after disappointment. Results indicate current tendencies rather than a fixed trait.
How should responses be selected?
Answer based on recent, typical behavior across everyday situations. Avoid answering based on a single unusually stressful day.
How should the results be interpreted?
Scores provide a snapshot of patterns that may be present at this time. They are not a diagnosis and do not determine overall mental health.
How long does it take and how many questions are included?
Completion time is about 10 minutes. The quiz includes 15 questions.
What if an item does not seem to fit?
Select the option that is closest to typical behavior. If two options seem equally accurate, choose the one that reflects what occurs more often.
