The ACE Quiz

1
The ACE Quiz is one tool that we can use to reflect on our childhood experiences. The more adverse childhood experiences you had, the higher your score will be. There are several factors not considered in the ACE Quiz that can still have an impact on you as a child. A high score on the ACE Quiz is not an indication of your ability to be successful in life.

What the ACE Quiz does is gives us some general guidance and insight to our past experiences so that we can start to understand what may be holding us back from realizing the "true self" that's encoded in each of us. The ACE Quiz doesn't consider how many positive experiences you had as a child either. But it's a useful tool that can help us begin our journey to self-actualization.

As always, your answers are not shared with anyone else, and you are protected under HIPPA. We will be discussing the ACE Quiz in general during our live session, and if you're comfortable sharing, you may share what you discovered with the group (especially as it pertains to your score, generically).
