Beneath the patterns of anxiety, people-pleasing, avoidance, or chronic self-doubt often lie deeper emotional themes, called “schemas”, that were shaped by early experiences. These core schemas act like invisible lenses through which we interpret relationships, success, safety, and self-worth. Left unexamined, they can quietly drive our most stuck patterns.

This free schema quiz is designed to help you identify which schemas might be active in your life. Based on the principles of Schema Therapy, it draws from decades of clinical research to uncover unmet emotional needs and the protective strategies we develop around them.

This is not a diagnostic tool but a starting point for awareness and reflection. At the end, you’ll get a breakdown of your results and suggestions for next steps in healing these patterns.
