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, Need Naming, Clear Requests, Need-Matched Action. 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, Need Naming, Clear Requests, Need-Matched Action. 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
Needs are not commands and identifying a need does not require another person to meet it. Clarity helps separate the internal need from the specific request or strategy used to address it.
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 choose one step: notice an early signal, name the kind of support needed, make one specific request, or test a better-matched response.
