Free test of autonomy in close relationships: 10 questions, about 4 minutes, scored at once, on two kinds of autonomy. Based on Self-Determination Theory, this test examines the sense of autonomy in close relationships: Personal Autonomy (freedom to be yourself, express needs and values) and Relational Autonomy (feeling that your partner/environment supports your independence).

Completing the test takes approximately 4 minutes. You can take it on a computer or phone — your answers are saved automatically.

Scientific basis

The questions in this test are our own: we wrote them for PsychoProfil.pl, inspired by the published research or model named at the top of this page. It is not a validated psychometric instrument, so use the result for self-reflection, not as a measurement.

Frequently asked questions

Is this test free?▼

Yes, the test is fully free — every question, the scoring and the result with a dimension-by-dimension interpretation. You see your result immediately after the last answer, with no registration, e-mail or card required. An extended PDF report is available as an optional purchase, but you do not need it to see and understand your score.

How long does it take to complete?▼

It takes about 4 minutes — the test has 10 questions, each answered with a single click on a scale. There is no time limit, you can go at your own pace, and a progress bar shows how much is left. You get the most accurate results by answering spontaneously rather than deliberating over single items.

Are the results accurate?▼

This is not a validated psychometric instrument. The questions are our own, inspired by the published research or model named at the top of this page, and they have not been through a validation study. Treat the result as a starting point for self-reflection — it is educational and does not replace an assessment or diagnosis by a professional.

Can I save my results?▼

Yes. Right after the test you can save the result to a free account in one click — just an e-mail; sign-in uses a 6-digit code sent to it, no password. Saved results build your psychological profile, where you can compare dimensions across different tests on one chart and revisit results any time. Without an account you still see your result, and this browser can return to it for 90 days.
