About the Self-Talk Test
The Self-Talk Testis a 12-question self-report quiz that turns the tone of your inner voice into a single 0–100 score. No trick questions, every prompt is a moment you actually live through: the mistake at work, the unexpected mirror, the compliment you deflected, the 2am replay.
Most people have never measured how they talk to themselves, even though it runs all day, every day. The question that tends to land hardest: would you ever talk to a friend the way you talk to yourself? Your score gives you an honest baseline, a tier with a one-paragraph interpretation, and a shareable result link.
Curious about your mornings instead? Take the Morning Mindset Quiz . The first hour of your day shapes more of your self-talk than you'd expect.
FAQ
- What does the Self-Talk Test measure?
- It measures how kind or harsh your inner voice is across twelve everyday situations, after mistakes, in front of mirrors, during comparison, around rest and compliments, and turns it into a 0 to 100 score with a tier from 'Inner best friend' to 'Relentless inner critic'.
- Is this a clinical assessment?
- No. The Self-Talk Test is a self-reflection tool, not a clinical screening for depression or anxiety. If your inner voice is causing real distress, please speak with a qualified mental-health professional.
- How long does the quiz take?
- About two minutes: twelve multiple-choice questions, no sign-up, no email. You get your score immediately, plus a shareable result link.
- Can negative self-talk actually be changed?
- Yes. Self-talk is a habit, not a fixed personality trait. Research on self-affirmation and cognitive reframing shows that small, repeated practices, like reading or writing one believable positive statement a day, gradually shift the default tone of your inner voice.
- How does Today I Am help if my score is high?
- Today I Am is a daily affirmations app for iPhone. Every morning it puts one calm, personalized line in front of you, on your Home Screen, Lock Screen, or as a gentle notification, so kindness gets a daily slot in your routine instead of depending on willpower. The download is free on the App Store.
