A reflective, educational, and research-oriented tool that identifies patterns of concern, uncertainty, trust strain, and perceived concealment risk in a relationship.
This version of the Relationship Trust Assessment is an experimental research instrument. Its scoring model, likelihood ratios, concern bands and derived estimates remain under evaluation and should not be interpreted as validated measures of deception, infidelity or actual concealment.
The questionnaire is not a diagnostic instrument and should not be used to establish whether an allegation is true or false.
Please read this policy carefully before starting. This is a pilot-stage research and reflective tool, not a forensic or clinical diagnostic system.
Length Warning: The full assessment is detailed and may feel too long or demanding for some users, especially during periods of acute distress. If you feel overwhelmed, distressed, unsafe, or tempted to use the results confrontationally, stop and seek appropriate support.
One or more safeguarding-related items have been endorsed. This means there may be concerns about how this assessment tool could be misused.
This tool must not be used for:
If you are experiencing distress, please consider speaking with a qualified counsellor, therapist, or contacting a support helpline.
This document is not a forensic report, expert report, legal document, clinical assessment, or proof of deception or wrongdoing. It is a self-report reflective summary only. It should not be used to confront, pressure, punish, monitor, or coerce another person.
This section evaluates internal relationship interpretation styles, attachment history, and trust sensitivities.
Elevated scores in this domain may arise from:
Important: These findings are NOT evidence of deception, infidelity, or wrongdoing.
This dual-construct display separates indicators of potential concealment (active secrecy or inconsistencies) from trust vulnerabilities (personal attachment patterns or trust sensitivities). These are independent dimensions.
Concealment Concern Index. Reflects the relative concentration of responses associated within the pilot model with perceived secrecy, inconsistency and concealment concern. This experimental estimate has not been validated as a probability that concealment has actually occurred.
Reflects internal relationship interpretation styles, attachment-related anxiety, emotional avoidance, or prior betrayal impact. This construct is non-diagnostic.
Professional Caution: This assessment evaluates patterns of concern, trust perception, and relationship interpretation styles. It cannot establish factual deception, infidelity, or concealed behaviour. Findings should be interpreted cautiously within broader relational and contextual factors.
The table below shows how the result changes under different prior probability assumptions. The default prior of 15% is a cautious starting point. Lower priors produce more conservative results.
