How To Read This Result

This versioned original self-check uses 12 scored frequency items for the past 30 days. It reviews Anticipated Safety, Clear Expression, Reception, After-Conversation Impact. 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 Anticipated Safety, Clear Expression, Reception, After-Conversation Impact. 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 determine whether disclosure is safe in a specific situation. It cannot determine another person's motives or the overall quality of a relationship.

Important Context And Limits

Do not use a score as pressure to disclose. When there is coercion, retaliation, monitoring, or fear of harm, privacy and specialized support may be more appropriate than greater openness.

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 plan one bounded step: assess the setting, choose what to share, state the response wanted, or clarify privacy afterward. Safety takes priority over openness.
