About This Test
What It Measures
This test measures cognitive jealousy—the frequency of suspicious, doubting thoughts about your partner's loyalty and attractions. It evaluates whether you imagine betrayal scenarios, worry about temptation, suspect hidden emotional bonds, and read extra meaning into innocent interactions. Cognitive jealousy is distinct from emotional jealousy (how you feel) and behavioral jealousy (what you do). High cognitive jealousy creates mental exhaustion, relationship tension, and often becomes self-fulfilling as constant suspicion erodes trust. Research links it to attachment anxiety, low self-esteem, and past betrayal trauma.
How It Works
You'll respond to 9 statements about your relationship thoughts—suspecting romantic intentions from others toward your partner, worrying about temptation and hidden attractions, imagining secret emotional bonds, wondering if they're hiding something, and reading meaning into neutral interactions. Your score places you on a spectrum from trusting mind (suspicion rarely arises) to obsessively suspicious (doubt dominates your relationship experience). Based on validated jealousy research distinguishing cognitive, emotional, and behavioral dimensions.
When to Use This Test
Take this test if jealous thoughts consume significant mental energy, if you constantly check your partner's phone or social media, if you imagine worst-case betrayal scenarios regularly, if your partner complains you don't trust them despite no evidence of cheating, or if past relationship trauma makes you suspicious in new relationships. High scores suggest underlying insecurity or attachment anxiety worth addressing through therapy—cognitive jealousy rarely reflects actual partner behavior and more often reflects your own fear of abandonment or worthlessness.
