SCARS Psychological & Recovery Self-Assessment Tests for Scam Victims/Survivors
UPDATED 2026
Recoverology Tools to help Scam Victims/Survivors to Assess Their Recovery Progress
Self-assessment tests offer significant value to scam victims by providing a structured approach to understanding their emotional and cognitive states post-scam. These tests help individuals recognize the extent of their trauma, identify areas of self-blame, and assess ongoing emotional and cognitive impairments. By facilitating self-reflection, these assessments can reveal patterns of impulsive and emotionally driven decision-making that might otherwise go unnoticed. This awareness is crucial for victims to acknowledge their vulnerabilities, accept their experiences, and seek appropriate support. Furthermore, self-assessment tests can serve as a foundation for discussions with therapists, helping to tailor recovery strategies effectively. Ultimately, these tests empower scam victims to take proactive steps towards healing and rebuilding their lives with a clearer understanding of their mental and emotional health.
Note: While all of our Self-Assessment tests are useful for scam victims/survivors, we recommend against trying to take more than two in a day. This can have an emotional impact and result in overwhelm. Additionally, it can cause false results from cognitive biases.

Professional Note
This information, like most of what the SCARS Institute publishes, is intended to help scam victims, their families, and friends find answers and fulfill an essential role in psychoeducation. While the work is grounded in science and research, it is not intended to present research but rather general education in most cases. This can also serve as an introduction and overview for psychologists and allied professionals unfamiliar with scam victimization and its effects on victims.
