    I found this resource online. its a self-assessment which helps you get an idea for your personality type within intimate relationships:

    https://menscenter.org/self-assessments/what-kind-abusive-man-am-i/

    It comes from this book:

    I haven't read the book myself, but I completed the assessment and the results were disturbingly accurate in detailing the recurring issues I face in my relationships.
    Don't be turned off by the subject of abusive behavior. I think it's helpful regardless of your current relationship dynamic. Seriously I can't imagine why you'd be on this forum in the first place if you weren't contending with problematic behaviors in your relationship. I really don't like to admit it myself (thanks Ego), but the seemingly passive and nonviolent treatment of my partner is still abusive after all is said and done.

    I recommend giving it a shot if you're even slightly curious about it. Your results may not be as accurate as my own, but mine really surprised me personally.

    Made the test. It cames up: "There’s nothing wrong with me" That's totally wrong, I'm my number one critic and I love to take action to fix everything I think is wrong with me. I'm also open to criticism, I really don't care what people say about me anymore, but i'm open to heard a constructive criticms.
    • Core fears: Being unmanly or weak (was weak in the past, changed to the strong side now)
    • Purpose of control tactics: To manage the demands of intimacy and to avoid the stress of emotion in relationships (wrong, I don't make demands. people give what they want to give, if I don't like what people give to me I just walk away from them. People that are currenty in my life loves to give stuff to me and I love to give stuff back to them)
    • Triggers: Pressure from your intimate partner for more involvement and intimacy in the relationship; the demands and stresses of family life (happened to me in the past, was when I was no longer interested in my partner. Fixed that.. once this start to happend I end the relationship and let me and other person find a better suited one. When you or the other person stop making the effort in the relationship, it's better to call it a day)
    • Preferred tactics: Emotional abuse, intimidation, occasional physical violence (can't be more away from reality)
    • Partner’s chief complaint: “He says he loves me, but he doesn’t want to get close to me; I wish he would talk to me about his feelings without blowing up” (this is what happens when you hear what people say but not what they do, if he say he loves you but doens't want to get close to you then his words not match his actions, always look at what people do. Used to do this in the past, now I can see what people really feel by looking at their actions)
    • Self-management tasks: Emotional awareness; anger management, conflict resolution and relationship skills (used to have emotional attachment to the other person that become in codependency that of course is not good. Fixed that, now I value myself and I'm not worried to be alone and I'm open to share my happines with a woman that is also able and willing to share her happines with me. In the meantime, I love been alone )
    I'm glad it helped you... but be aware of this kind of free tests. They normally maid up things in your personality and exploid that so you go and consume their products.

  3. The assessment was amazingly accurate for my husband, too.

    One of many, many systems for determening and categorizing psycological behaviours thru questionnaires.
    At their core 99% of them are scientific hogwash that don't stand up to a peer-review due to having more of a "this is the way we think we have figured out it works and wrote a book about it"-vibe, than a backbone of data.

    Don't put to much energy into trying to fix yourself or anyone else based on this.
