This anonymous self-screening test is meant to help you understand your own personality style relative to your functioning in intimate relationships. It was normed on a sample group of men who were attending a batterer intervention program. For best results, take this assessment if you think you have already engaged in abusive and/or controlling behaviors toward your partner. It will help you recognize your triggers for abusive and controlling behaviors and identify self-management strategies. It is not meant to diagnose, in any way, whether someone is or is not abusive or controlling, the risk of a person engaging in such behavior, or of that person becoming an abusive and/or controlling individual.
