Toxic Family Test — Identify, Cope, Decide
Self-assessment: are you living a toxic family dynamic?
How to read your scores
Each dimension is scored out of its own maximum (e.g. 16/25 = 16 points out of 25 for that dimension). The higher the score, the more that dimension is present. Below each bar, a label (low / moderate / high) and a clinical interpretation explain what your score means. The overall score sums every dimension.Overall score
96/150
Significant toxic situation
Family toxicity exceeds your current coping resources. Multiple registers accumulate.
Scores per dimension
Low — You perceive few toxic behaviors in your current family. Interactions are generally healthy.
Moderate — You feel moderate effects (exhaustion after visits, occasional self-doubt). Vigilance is useful.
Low — Your adult relationships (couple, friendship, work) do not reproduce toxic family patterns.
Moderate — You sometimes manage but with a notable emotional cost. Work on boundaries is useful.
Your full report includes
- ✓Introduction
This report is a self-assessment, not a diagnosis. It analyzes your current experience with your family across four dimensions: detection of toxic behaviors, emotional impact on you, learned relational patterns, and capacity to set limits. The results help you clarify where you stand and identify priority resources.
- ✓Global Score
Your global score reflects the combined intensity of family toxicity in your current experience. The higher the score, the heavier the situation, and the more relevant professional support becomes.
- ✓Analysis by Dimension
Each dimension sheds light on a specific aspect of what you are going through. A high dimension is not a fate: it is a signal to direct your attention and resources.
- ✓Recommendations
The following recommendations are calibrated to your results. Three paths are possible depending on your situation: maintain the bond by setting limits, distance progressively, or cut contact. No option is universally good — your situation is unique.
- ✓Resources
To go further: Forward S. (Toxic Parents, 1989), McBride K. (Will I Ever Be Good Enough?, 2008) on narcissistic mothers, Coleman J. (Rules of Estrangement, 2021) on family estrangement. Inspired by Bowen (systemic family theory) and Young (early maladaptive schemas). CBT, EMDR or systemic therapy support are the most studied paths.
- ✓Disclaimer
This test is a self-assessment, not a medical or psychological diagnosis. It does not evaluate your parents or family — it evaluates your experience. If the situation is intense (severe distress, dark thoughts, violence), consult a mental health professional without delay.
