Emotionally Immature Parents Test

Did you have to grow up managing your parent's feelings?

Based on: Inspired by Lindsay Gibson's work on emotionally immature parents. A reflection tool, not a diagnosis of anyone.

Think about the parent or caregiver who raised you. Answer how true each statement feels. Nothing you enter is saved or linked to you.

This is a screening tool, not a diagnosis. Results are for self-reflection only. Only a licensed professional can diagnose a condition.
