Before You Begin
This version separates scored frequency items from context and protective factors so the result can show a clearer answer pattern.
Scored items use one frequency scale. Context answers personalize the summary, while protective factors are reported separately. This original tool is not clinically validated and cannot provide a diagnosis.
How To Read This Result
This versioned original self-check uses 12 scored frequency items for the past 30 days. It reviews Emotional Awareness, Present Attention, Responsive Care, Closeness Tolerance. 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.
What Version 2.0 Measures
The 12 scored items cover Emotional Awareness, Present Attention, Responsive Care, Closeness Tolerance. 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.
Important Context And Limits
Availability varies with stress, health, safety, neurodivergence, culture, timing, and relationship history. A need for space is not inherently a lack of care.
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
Use the highest dimension to practice one observable behavior: name a feeling, offer undivided attention, ask what support fits, or set a clear time to return to the conversation.
