Codependency test
Here you can do a self-test that can help you reflect on personality traits that may be associated with codependency.
Codependency means putting the needs of others before your own, and feeling a strong sense of responsibility for solving others’ problems, often at the expense of your own well-being. It is common in relationships with someone who has an addiction, mental illness or destructive behaviours, but can also occur in other contexts. The behaviour may be rooted in what you learned growing up or in close relationships in other ways, and it can lead to exhaustion, anxiety, low self-esteem and difficulties setting boundaries. It is a popular psychological phenomenon that can be helped.
This test will help you reflect on your relationships and whether you have co-dependency tendencies. It is not a substitute for a professional assessment, but it can provide guidance. Answer based on how you usually feel and act in close relationships.
What should I do if I have symptoms of codependency?
If the results raise questions and if your symptoms are affecting your functioning in areas such as work and relationships, it is recommended that you seek professional help. A psychologist or therapist with experience of relationship problems may be helpful. If you are willing to work on your behaviours, you can feel better.
