Disclaimer:
This self-assessment is intended for personal insight and self-reflection only. It is not a diagnostic tool and should not be used as a substitute for professional mental health evaluation, diagnosis, or treatment.

The purpose of this exercise is to support greater self-awareness—inviting you to observe your emotional patterns, thought habits, and inner responses with curiosity and compassion. These patterns often lie beneath conscious awareness, quietly influencing how you relate to yourself, to others, and to the challenges of daily life.
