Having needs is not selfish. Answer about repeated habits—not one time you needed rest, money or space. Consider what you agreed to and what you could realistically give.
The short answer
A healthy boundary protects your capacity; a one-sided pattern disregards agreements and other people's needs. Consider both your limit and your impact.

How this quiz works
Each answer scores 0 (Never), 1 (Sometimes) or 2 (Often), for a total of 0–24. Results use three editorial ranges: 0–8, 9–16 and 17–24. These cutoffs are not clinically established. Your quiz answers are held only while this page is open and are not saved; this device only remembers that you finished the quiz.
Your score reflects the frequency of the actions you reported. It cannot establish another person's intentions, diagnose a condition or judge your worth. One serious incident can matter even with a low score.
Look at the pattern, not the label
Saying you cannot afford a trip is not the same as agreeing to split a bill and then leaving others to pay. Fairness depends on realistic capacity, shared expectations and honest communication—not equal sacrifice in every situation.
Choose a recent example and separate what happened from what you assumed. Look at what was within your control, what you agreed to and whether a repair actually changed the next interaction.
What to do next
Identify what was actually agreed, not what was silently expected.
State your limit clearly and early.
Ask who is carrying the cost or work of a shared choice.
Offer a contribution you can realistically sustain.
Common questions
Can one result define me?
No. These are original reflection questions with editorial score ranges, not a validated assessment. Use individual answers to choose a specific next step rather than turning the total into an identity.
What if a conversation feels unsafe?
You do not need to confront someone to prove that you are accountable. If there are threats, coercion or fear, prioritize safety and seek trusted or professional support.
