What this assertiveness questionnaire measures
This assertiveness questionnaire estimates self-reported assertiveness habits across four domains. Twenty-two original agree-disagree items group into direct requests, boundary statements, conflict voice, and refusal comfort. Each item also maps to a fear-of-intimacy stack layer. A second results chart inspired by FOIS-style intimacy avoidance themes from Descutner and Thelen (1991), adapted to this topic. Your assertiveness index averages these patterns into a 0 to 100 score where higher numbers mean more endorsed assertive habits on this screener, not a moral grade.

Clear asks instead of hinting.
Boundary statements
