About this test
Gaslighting is a form of manipulation that makes a person doubt their own perception of reality, their memory and their judgement, until they believe they are "overreacting" or "going crazy". Insidious, it sets in gradually and erodes self-confidence. This test explores five observable mechanisms: denial of facts, casting doubt on your memory and perception, blame reversal, discrediting and isolation, and the impact on you. It is not a diagnosis, but a benchmark to name what you are experiencing and regain your footing.
Dimensions assessed
- ●Denial of reality- Denying facts, words or events that actually happened.
- ●Doubt about your memory and perception- Making you doubt your memories, what you saw, heard or felt.
- ●Blame reversal- Twisting situations so you end up feeling responsible and guilty.
- ●Discrediting and isolation- Painting you as "too sensitive", unstable or "crazy", isolating you.
- ●Impact: self-doubt- Confusion, loss of confidence in your judgement, feeling you are "going crazy".
