About This Assessment
This self-assessment is designed to help scam victims identify whether they may be experiencing a defeatist mentality — a pattern of thinking that can significantly affect the ability to recover and move forward.
Read each statement carefully and select the response that best reflects your honest feelings or behaviors. Honesty gives you the most accurate and useful picture.
Please Note. This assessment was developed by the scientists and psychologists at the SCARS Institute based on experience working with large numbers of scam victims. It is not a diagnosis of a mental health condition — it is designed to give you awareness and a useful starting point. We recommend taking a copy of your results to share with your counselor or therapist.
