Sharing your innermost thoughts and feelings with others is a key component of intimacy. But it’s also possible to share too much, too often, or with the wrong people. How comfortable are you with self-disclosure? Take this test to find out.
This test is for anyone interested in assessing their willingness to disclose personal information to others. This test is designed for adults and is not intended to be diagnostic.
If you are concerned about a tendency to share too much or too little, a therapist could help; you can find one in your area on the Psychology Today Therapy Directory.
