In brief : Toxic relationships can develop insidiously and be difficult to identify from the inside.

Toxic relationships can develop insidiously and be difficult to identify from the inside. This 30-question test explores four key dimensions of relational toxicity: manipulation, control, devaluation, and isolation. Each dimension is precisely evaluated to offer you a clear picture of the dynamics in your relationship. The results will help you become aware of harmful behaviors and consider protective actions.

What the test measures

  • Use of covert strategies to influence your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors.
  • Attempts to control your choices, activities, and personal freedom.
  • Behaviors aimed at diminishing your self-esteem, confidence, and personal worth.
  • Strategies aimed at cutting you off from your social circle, friends, and family.

How to interpret your score

Your result reads as an intensity, not a diagnosis:

  • Healthy relationship : Your relationship seems generally healthy and respectful. Few signs of toxicity detected.
  • Moderate warning signs : Some concerning behaviors are present in your relationship. They deserve serious attention.
  • Problematic relationship : Your relationship shows many signs of toxicity that significantly impact your well-being.
  • Dangerous relationship : Your relationship shows serious characteristics of toxicity and potentially psychological violence.
