What twenty years of being raised by her built into you.
A 20-scenario assessment for adult daughters (and sons) of mothers with strong narcissistic patterns. Maps your daughter-of-narcissist trauma profile across six types — Hypervigilant, Fawn, Over-Functioner, Scapegoat, Golden Cage, Sovereign — and gives an honest read on whether your mother's behaviour matches the NPD register.
Free. No paywall on the core result.
Twenty years of being raised by a narcissistic mother does not produce one shape. It produces six — and which one your nervous system locked into is the most diagnostic single fact about your adult life.
Specific moments — Sunday calls, sibling rotations, the signature sentence. No abstract agree/disagree statements. The scenarios are the assessment.
Your daughter pattern (one of six profiles) plus a mother-signal band — Likely NPD, Trait-Heavy, Difficult, or Unlikely. Both axes returned together.
Each profile gets a tailored recovery move — the single intervention most useful for your specific shape. Plus a 12-month arc so you know what good looks like.
The clinical assessment of NPD requires a licensed clinician with a full history. The diagnostic assessment of trauma response requires a therapist, time, and trust. This is neither of those — it is a 20-scenario instrument designed to surface the recognition that a clinician can later confirm.
The recognition is the part most women come looking for first. The clinical follow-up is the part that comes after.
The assessment is one entry point. These are the deeper reads — the long-form article, the companion quiz, and the Cluster B foundation that the Mother Signal axis is built on.
