WHAT THE TEST MEASURES
About This Assessment
What Is My Core Wound Quiz - Symptoms and Signs
Explore which of four common emotional themes most closely resembles your current reactions: abandonment, rejection, betrayal, or powerlessness. Compare four independent 0–12 affinity scores; your highest score suggests the strongest theme, while scores within one point indicate a blend. This free, quick reflection requires no sign-up, but it cannot identify a definitive cause or provide a diagnosis. If it brings up distress or current harm, pause and seek support from someone you trust or a licensed professional; seek urgent local help if you are in immediate danger.
