WHAT THE TEST MEASURES
About This Assessment

Codependency Scale Test

codependency

Codependency can emerge in strained relational contexts in which a person becomes overly focused on another’s needs, with diminished autonomy and difficulty maintaining personal boundaries. The Codependency Scale is a self-report measure designed to screen for codependency-related attitudes and behaviors that may be relevant to clinical case formulation.

It consists of 50 items and typically requires about 10 minutes to complete. Items generally assess themes such as excessive responsibility for others, discomfort with asserting needs, guilt associated with boundary setting, and reliance on external validation, with results intended to inform discussion rather than serve as a standalone diagnosis.

The Codependency Scale was developed by Timmen L. Cermak and Barry K. Weinhold. It may be used as an adjunct to clinical interviewing to help identify potential interpersonal patterns and guide treatment planning, while interpretation should consider context, response style, and comorbid symptoms.
