Frequently Asked Questions
Q. What is a people-pleaser?
A. Someone who habitually puts other people's wishes ahead of their own to avoid disapproval. In Korea the same pattern is called "good child syndrome." Neither is a medical diagnosis, and this test is for self-reflection only.
Q. How is the people-pleaser test scored?
A. Each of the 12 questions scores 0 ("Not at all") to 4 ("Almost always"), for a total out of 48. 0–11 is Kind, With Boundaries; 12–23 Quietly Accommodating; 24–35 Me-Last Habit; 36 and above Everyone-Else-First.
Q. How is my strongest area chosen?
A. The test averages your answers in each area: saying no (2 questions), reading the room (3), self-sacrifice (2), avoiding conflict (2) and seeking approval (3). It uses averages, not totals, so areas with more questions don't win by default. If you answer "Not at all" to everything, no area is shown.
