Authenticity Assessment
How consistently you live by your own values across work, relationships, social settings, and solitude
About this assessment
An original 36-item self-report of dispositional authenticity inspired by Wood, Linley, Maltby, Baliousis and Joseph's (2008) person-centred model — the interplay of authentic living (acting in line with your real values and feelings), resisting external influence (not letting others' expectations overwrite you), and low self-alienation (knowing and trusting your true self). It maps these processes across four arenas where the pressure to perform differs sharply: work, close relationships, wider social settings, and time alone. The result estimates the overall percentage of your life lived as the real you, and shows where you stay true versus where you quietly switch into a version others expect. Items are original to this assessment and reproduce no copyrighted scale. For education and self-reflection only — not a clinical or diagnostic instrument.
