This free self-assessment will only take a few minutes to complete, and at the end you’ll get an evaluation of your caregiving style.
What you get is an analysis of your tendencies in caregiving, both the helpful ways you show up (“light” behaviors) and the potentially harmful (“shadow” behaviors) habits you may fall back on. This is meant to be a guide for your own self-awareness and personal growth, not a “personality type” that defines you.
Instructions
For each question, select the response that best matches your behavior over the last month. Don’t answer based on what you think someone should do or how you wish you had acted. For the most useful result, be honest about how you actually showed up.
The questionnaire is designed to be completed in one sitting. If you click away or close your browser, your answers will be lost and you’ll have to start again.
For Those Concerned About Privacy
We will never share any of your answers with anyone. We don’t sell people’s data. Not only is that not our business model (we do coaching, training, workshops, and consulting), but we find it offensive as a general practice.
We store answers to the questionnaire in our database. This is so we can research trends in the aggregated data. We hope this will be useful and informative over time not just to us, but to caregiving support overall. If one day we publish findings out of this data, we will never disclose any individual’s participation or answers.
At the end, you do not have to enter your email address to see your report. If you do enter an email address, two things will happen: (1) your end report will be sent to that email address, and (2) that email address will also receive an opt-in confirmation to be added to the Gray Bear email list. If you do not opt in, you will not be added to the list. If you do opt in, you can unsubscribe at any time.
