Jealousy is a universal human emotion, but when it becomes excessive, it can poison relationships. This 25-question test explores four dimensions of jealousy: insecurity, surveillance, social comparison, and emotional reactions. The results will help you distinguish healthy jealousy from problematic jealousy and understand the deep mechanisms that fuel this emotion. Discover concrete strategies for managing your reactions and building trusting relationships.
What the test measures

- Checking and controlling behaviors regarding your partner's activities, communications, and relationships.
- Tendency to compare yourself to others and perceive threats in your partner's social interactions.

- High jealousy : Your jealousy is significant and impacts the quality of your relationship and your personal well-being.
