Jealous thoughts can quietly shape how we interpret our partner’s actions, often leading us to imagine threats that may not actually exist. This quiz explores how frequently you experience suspicion, doubt, or worry about your partner’s loyalty, helping you better understand your internal relationship narrative.

Persistent relationship suspicion is often driven by insecurity, past relational experiences, or fear of loss. Over time, these thought patterns can strain communication and erode trust—even in otherwise healthy partnerships. If you notice overlap with anxiety-driven thinking, you may also find the Anxiety Sensitivity Test helpful.

Understanding your score can clarify whether your thoughts are situational or part of a broader pattern of rumination. For a wider view of how control and trust interact in relationships, consider exploring the Relationship Control Scale as well.
