Reviewed by Gildas Garrec, CBT practitioner
Good morning,
This test places what you attribute events to, on several axes: your own efforts and decisions, people who hold power over you, or chance and fate. These three beliefs coexist in everyone. The report gives the mix and shows which one takes over at the moment of a failure.
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 63 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.

QUICK ANSWER
What depends on me, what depends on circumstance — a 63-question self-assessment, about 10 min. This test places what you attribute events to: your own efforts, the power of others, or chance and fate. Once finished, you receive a detailed PDF report ($3.60): an interpretation of its 4 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 interactive test covers responsibility, control, independence, applications and requests, rules, the future, plans, perseverance, the body, failure, recognition, hope and readiness to change. What the test asks, for example Responsibility Whether, faced with an obstacle, you tell yourself there's no point trying because it doesn't depend on you. Whether, good or bad, your day depends mostly on what you've made of it. Control Whether the way you organize your days makes little difference to what you manage to do. Whether, faced with a situation that weighs on you, you know what step to take to get it moving. Independence Whether, faced with someone who has authority over you, your opinion ends up bending to theirs. Whether you make your important decisions on your own, without the approval of someone higher up. Applications and requests Whether a sought-after place is won mainly by pleasing the right people. Whether, to get a home or a place you care about, your efforts are what will make the difference. Rules Whether, faced with a rule that bothers you, you have no weight against those who decide. Whether, when the group makes a decision, you put forward your view rather than follow the most influential. The future Whether, when you think about your future, everything seems to hang on chance. Whether your skills will decide the place you end up holding later on. Plans Whether preparing things in advance seems pointless to you because chance reshuffles the cards. Whether, to reach what you're aiming for, your efforts count for more than luck. Perseverance Whether, before launching into an ambitious project, you tell yourself it will all come down to luck. Whether, to learn a language or a piece of software, everything depends on the time you put into it. The body Whether your health depends mostly on what you inherited from your family and on chance. Whether your health depends on what you eat and what you do with your evenings. Failure Whether, faced with a breakdown or an unexpected refusal, you tell yourself it's just bad luck. Whether, when you fail at something, you track down your mistake or the effort you skimped on. Recognition Whether, when good news comes, you thank your lucky star rather than your own efforts. Whether your successes so far come from the time and effort you've put into them. Hope Whether the broad lines of your life seem to you already traced somewhere. Whether, even when everything is uncertain, what you do weighs on what happens to you. Readiness to change Whether what you have just described matters in how you function day to day. Whether you want to get better at working with this way of functioning.
This test places what you attribute events to, on several axes: your own efforts and decisions, people who hold power over you, or chance and fate. These three beliefs coexist in everyone. The report gives the mix and shows which one takes over at the moment of a failure.
The questionnaire explores 4 areas: Your reading of how you see things, Internal control, Power of others, Luck and fate. Your answers support reflection, not a diagnosis. A separate module explores readiness to change; it is not another trait of the model presented.
These are the aspects explored by this questionnaire. Your answers help put them into perspective.

Belief that powerful or influential people control what happens to you.
Belief that chance, luck, or fate determines the events of your life.

Yes, you can retake this test as many times as you wish. Some people take it again after several months to observe how their profile evolves. Each new attempt generates its own report — previous answers are not reused.
The report organises your answers and offers points for reflection. You can discuss it with a professional; it does not replace their assessment or prescribe treatment.
Yes. Each person gets their own anonymous, unique report, based on THEIR answers. Comparing profiles within a family or couple can be useful — provided each person takes the test honestly and on their own, without influencing one another during the answers.
