What is Hyper-Independence Test?

The hyper-independence test helps identify whether someone relies too heavily on self-sufficiency as a protective response to past emotional pain or trust issues. People with hyper-independence often avoid asking for help, struggle to rely on others, and equate vulnerability with weakness. This behavior can stem from experiences where dependence led to disappointment or hurt. The test highlights patterns of emotional distance and control, guiding individuals toward healthier interdependence, where independence coexists with connection, trust, and mutual support in relationships.
