How To Read This Result

This versioned original self-check uses 12 scored frequency items for the past 30 days. It reviews Closeness Comfort, Distance Tolerance, Personal Autonomy, Relationship Flexibility. Optional context answers personalize guidance but do not change the score.

Dimension labels summarize how often their assigned experiences were selected. Protective factors are shown separately and are not reverse-scored into a risk total. Result profiles are descriptive editorial patterns, not clinical cutoffs, probabilities, or population percentiles.

Important limit: This is not a validated screening instrument and cannot diagnose, rule out, or measure the severity of a medical or mental health condition. Use the result as a structured reflection, not as a label.

What Version 2.0 Measures

The 12 scored items cover Closeness Comfort, Distance Tolerance, Personal Autonomy, Relationship Flexibility. Each dimension is supported by three questions using the same 30-day frequency scale.

Context and protective-factor questions are displayed separately and do not change the core score.

How Scoring Works

Scored answers use values from 0 to 4 and produce an editorial total from 0 to 48. Dimension labels summarize selected frequency, not medical severity, character, or population standing.

Version 2.0 is original and non-validated. It cannot identify an attachment style or explain why a closeness-distance pattern occurs. It cannot determine another person's motives or the overall quality of a relationship.

Important Context And Limits

Contact needs vary across people and situations. High or low contact is not inherently healthy or unhealthy; flexibility, consent, reliability, and the ability to negotiate matter more than one preferred amount.

Answering about one specific relationship improves consistency, but context, culture, safety, communication access, stress, and recent events can all affect responses. The result is not a verdict about either person.

How To Use The Result

Choose one experiment based on the highest dimension: a small disclosure, a plan for delayed contact, protection of one independent routine, or a direct conversation about changing contact needs.
