Emotional Suppression Test
Reflect on emotions you hide, suppress, or struggle to express.
Instruction: Answer based on your usual experience with emotions during the recent period. Choose the option that feels closest.
This describes me: hiding emotions to avoid burdening others.
Test basis
Format: Emotional Suppression Scale (Short). The score is calculated from your answers using the scale shown in the test, so answer based on your recent real experience rather than trying to choose a "right" result.
