Mistrust and suspicion
64 questions·10 min·5 dimensions·up to 17 clinical frameworks·5 report sections
Good morning,
This test is about paranoid traits through four aspects: the intentions attributed to others, the constant attention to signals of danger, the loyalty of close people called into question, and how long an offense stays alive. The report follows the cost of that vigilance rather than the content of the suspicions: the time it takes up.
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.
