My mental load in the relationship
64 questions·10 min·5 dimensions·up to 14 clinical frameworks·5 report sections
Good morning,
This test looks at the mental load in a couple, which is not the same as counting tasks. It gathers four aspects: what is anticipated at all times, the way the division of that work is experienced, the fatigue it produces without being seen, and whether or not it is recognized. The report describes each of these aspects.
What you receive — a report written from your answers: what stands out, what sustains it, and where to start. This week, this month, later on.
How it is built — each axis is analyzed on its own, then cross-read with the others, through clinical reading frameworks. Your detailed answers are attached as an appendix. See an example report
The test runs over 64 questions and takes about 10 min, for a price of $3.60.
We'd also suggest reading the book The Practical CBT Guide, to take this reflection further. It's included in the price and downloadable.
If you have a question about your report, write to us at contact@psychologieetserenite.com: a psychotherapist will reply within 48 hours.
I'd also suggest analysing your conversation with ScanMyLove; it's a complementary tool that, from your exchanges as partners, sheds light on your relationship dynamics.

QUICK ANSWER
My mental load in the relationship — a 64-question self-assessment, about 10 min. This test looks at the mental load in a couple: what is anticipated at all times, the division as it is experienced, invisible fatigue and recognition. Once finished, you receive a detailed PDF report ($3.60): your score on each of its 5 dimensions, a radar chart, up to 14 clinical reading frameworks and a personalized action plan. It is designed to help you know yourself better.
This test covers anticipation, organization, responsibility, support, the relationship, dialogue, recognition, what others think, tiredness, sleep, hypervigilance, time, mood and readiness to change. What the test asks, for example Anticipation If you see what will run out before it does. If you each think for yourselves, rather than one thinking for two. Organization If you make lists so that nothing falls through. If responsibility for organizing rests somewhere other than on you. Responsibility If the biggest share of it is on your shoulders. If what you take on matches what the other takes on. Support If you have to ask before things get done. If the other acts without you having to think for them. The relationship If the gap between your two loads leaps out at you. If the split seems fair to you, on reflection. Dialogue If you would like that work to be named out loud, just once. If, when you bring it up, you are taken seriously. Recognition If you feel invisible in everything you are holding up. If your partner thanks you for what you hold together. What others think If what you organize passes for something that goes without saying. If they sometimes spontaneously acknowledge what you anticipated. Tiredness If you are exhausted in the head, without having done anything physical. If you feel available and clear-headed at the moment. Sleep If, in the evening, your body is still while your head keeps turning. If you sleep well, and wake up rested. Hypervigilance If you are permanently on standby, one ear always half open. If, on vacation, your head really lets go. Time If running the household costs you what you would have wanted to put elsewhere. If your own space stays sheltered from all this. Mood If a background irritation follows you around, from thinking of everything. If your sleep and your mood come out of it unharmed. Readiness to change If you want the split to change. If you believe you can shift this.
About this test
▼
Dimensions assessed
- ●Task anticipation- I keep track of what needs to be done, I think ahead about what will run out, I plan before things become urgent. Anticipation is the most invisible form of mental load.
- ●Perceived division- How I experience the distribution of this load between me and my partner. This isn't an objective measure — it's my perception, and that's already meaningful.
- ●Invisible fatigue- Mental load isn't physical, but it exhausts. This dimension explores cognitive and emotional fatigue, and the feeling of being constantly 'on standby'.
- ●Recognition- Is what I do mentally seen, named, acknowledged? Recognition (or its absence) has a real impact on how we experience our mental load.
- ●Readiness to Change- Measures your current readiness to acknowledge what you're experiencing and to allow your situation to evolve.
Reference frameworks and authors
This test explores your perception of mental load in your relationship. It doesn't assign blame and doesn't measure an objective reality — it measures your experience. That experience deserves to be acknowledged, whether or not it is shared by your partner.
