A Personal Note Before You Begin
What you're about to embark on is an opportunity for genuine self-discovery. This assessment works best when you bring your most authentic self to it—not the self you think you should be, or the self others expect, but the self you actually are right now, in this moment.
Please resist the urge to choose "ideal" answers. There's no grade here, no judgment, no external evaluation. The questions aren't designed to catch you or measure you against others. They're designed to help you see yourself more clearly.
— Alfred Adler
Adler understood that we're all on our own journey, each facing our unique challenges and developing at our own pace. He emphasized that the only meaningful comparison in life is between who you are today and who you were yesterday—not between yourself and anyone else.
Your scores on this assessment are relevant to no one else's but your own. They become meaningful only when compared to your own scores at a different time. This is about tracking your personal growth, not ranking yourself against others.
As you take this assessment:
- Take your time. There's no rush.
- Be introspective. Really consider how you actually behave, not how you wish you behaved.
- If you're between two answers, choose the one that reflects your more typical pattern.
- Remember that recognizing where you are is the first step to getting where you want to go.
- There are no "bad" scores—only starting points for growth.
This isn't about uncovering deficiencies. It's about understanding yourself better so you can develop the relational capacities that will enrich your life and relationships. Every score, every pattern, every result is simply information—and information is power when you're ready to grow.
So take a breath, settle in, and let's discover what makes your relational world unique.
