CLEAR ANSWERS TO COMMON QUESTIONS

Frequently Asked Questions

What does this quiz measure?
It screens for patterns linked to draining or harmful friendship dynamics, including guilt-tripping, boundary violations, chronic negativity, jealousy, and one-sided effort. It also checks for protective signs such as accountability and mutual respect.
How long does it take to complete?
Most respondents finish in about 10 minutes. The quiz includes 64 items.
How should responses be selected?
Choose the option that best matches typical behavior over the past few months rather than a single event. If unsure, select the closest option based on the most common pattern.
How should the results be interpreted?
Results provide a non-clinical snapshot of the current friendship dynamic and highlight areas of concern and strengths. They do not diagnose a mental health condition or confirm intent.
What are appropriate next steps after completing the quiz?
Use the results to identify specific behaviors to address and to plan boundaries or a structured conversation. If there are safety concerns, ongoing coercion, or severe distress, consider seeking support from a qualified professional or trusted resource.
