We often talk about the two personalities of our ex, but the fact is that we all operate in multiple personas and this who we are in a deep relationship - the flipping through our personas in difficult situations.

Knowledge and self awareness is power. Take the test, post your results and lets talk about it. Compare notes.

50% of us, flip into the Vulnerable child schema at times.  50% of us have a Demanding Parent schema mode we also activate from time to time.

Here is a random members profile - so you can see what we are posting:

Tendency refers to the schema frameworks by which I may function.
Average is the mean of the numerical answers that I provided for each schema mode (rated from 1-6).
4+ is the number of the answers of 4 or higher that I provided for each schema mode.
"Above norm" is greater than 1 standard deviation from the mean (average) - stronger tendencies than the general population.
in other words, statistically higher than the general population.

So I had a little trouble with the cut and paste function.   It came up unreadable.   

But here are my results.    With the Demanding Parent lurking in the background just as you suggested.

My cut/paste skills suck as well... .

This is my favorite test of all time, I'd say. Here are my latest results:

I'd say that it's a pretty accurate depiction of me. I'm not perfect, but I feel good with myself and know that I can handle most, if not all, of what life has in store for me.
