Most of us have an internal voice that comments, judges, and evaluates — often harshly. For many people, this voice isn’t truly theirs. It was built from the words, reactions, and silences of the people who raised them.
This scorecard invites you to explore the nature and volume of your inner critic — where it came from, how it shows up, and what it might be protecting you from.
Take your time with each grade: when you select a score, a short description will appear beneath the buttons. We recommend reading it before moving on — it offers a little context for what that grade reflects, and may help you feel confident that your answer truly fits your experience.
Before selecting your grade: take a moment to read all six descriptions — then choose the one that fits your experience most honestly.
A gentle note before you begin: some of these questions ask you to sit with uncomfortable thoughts about yourself. Be as honest as you can — this reflection is for you, not for anyone else.
This assessment is for reflection purposes only. It is not a clinical diagnosis.
