CLEAR ANSWERS TO COMMON QUESTIONS

Frequently Asked Questions

What does this quiz measure?
It supports reflection on emotional control, physical safety, care, and bodily boundaries within a mother–daughter relationship. It does not determine whether someone is “toxic” or confirm abuse.
How should the results be interpreted?
Score bands are unvalidated reflective summaries, not clinical findings. Use results as prompts for further consideration, not as proof of intent or responsibility.
Can this quiz diagnose abuse or replace professional help?
No. It cannot diagnose abuse or replace assessment by a qualified professional.
What if a single event was threatening or forced?
One threatening, forced, exploitative, or injurious event matters regardless of any total score. If there is concern about safety, seek support from a trusted person, a qualified service, or emergency resources appropriate to the location.
How long does it take and how many questions are included?
Estimated completion time is about 10 minutes. The quiz includes 15 questions.
