People-pleasing self-assessment

The Fawn
Response Test

26 questions that show whether your people-pleasing is a survival strategy – where it comes from, what it costs you and how to rebuild your boundaries.

Before you begin

Think about your life in general – your relationships, your family and your work. Answer for the last few months.

There are no right or wrong answers. Answer by what actually happens, not by what you hope or think you should feel. The assessment has 26 questions and takes about 8–10 minutes.

You will receive a detailed personal report: your overall score, results in three areas, your dominant survival response (fight, flight, freeze or fawn) and concrete next steps grounded in peer-reviewed research.

Your answers stay in your browser. Nothing is sent or saved anywhere.

Important: this is an educational self-assessment, not a clinical diagnosis of you or of anyone else.
