Character Structure Assessment

This 12-minute assessment is based on Alexander Lowen's Bioenergetic Analysis and is designed to help you identify which of the five primary character structures most influences your emotional and behavioral patterns.

👉 Read each statement carefully and choose the option that best reflects how you typically feel or behave.
