It screens for counterdependent tendencies in close relationships, such as distancing, overreliance on independence, and discomfort with relying on others. It highlights patterns where outward self-sufficiency may conceal unmet needs for support.
Who is this questionnaire intended for?
It is intended for psychologists, counselors, educators, and other professionals working with relationship patterns. It may also be used for self-reflection when results are interpreted with appropriate caution.
How long does it take and what is the format?
Completion takes about 6 minutes. The questionnaire includes 30 items rated by selecting the response that best matches typical behavior and feelings.

Answer based on usual patterns rather than rare exceptions or current mood. Choose one response per item and avoid overthinking.

Counterdependency Scale Test

close relationshipscounterdependence

This measure is designed to support clinical understanding of interpersonal distancing and discomfort with reliance on others. The Counterdependency Scale is intended to help identify patterns in which apparent self-sufficiency may function as a protective stance in close relationships.

The instrument includes 30 items and typically takes about 6 minutes to complete. Results are best interpreted as descriptive indicators of relational style and defensive coping rather than as a diagnostic determination, and may be used to inform case formulation, treatment planning, or psychoeducation. The Counterdependency Scale can be integrated with clinical interview data and other assessment information to clarify potential barriers to intimacy, collaboration, and help-seeking.
