Your journey starts here

This questionnaire covers four equal areas of self-sustainability. It takes about 12–15 minutes. Answer based on how you actually behave — not how you'd like to behave.

ℹ️

Important: This is a personal growth and coaching tool, not a clinical assessment. Results are a starting point for self-reflection — they are not a diagnosis. If you're experiencing mental health concerns, please speak with a qualified professional.

⚖️

Some questions describe positive habits. Others describe challenges. Both types matter — together they give a more complete picture than questions phrased the same way.

Anonymous, aggregate usage and assessment-pattern data may be collected to improve the PSS experience. No names, emails, or identifying information are collected unless you voluntarily provide them.
