64 questions·10 min·5 dimensions·up to 23 clinical frameworks·6 report sections
Good morning,
This test is about emotional dependency through four aspects: the fear of being left behind and what it triggers, the need for outside validation before a choice feels safe, what an evening alone turns into, and the habit of putting the other person's needs before your own.
The report sheds light on one side of the bond only, yours, and shows which of these four movements switches on first.
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 Emotional Dependency, 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.
