Interpersonal Trust Level Test | Exploring the Underlying Tone of Your Sense of Security
I. What Is Interpersonal Trust?
Interpersonal trust refers to a person's generalized expectation that the other person's words, promises, or statements are reliable. In psychology, it is not only the lubricant of social interaction, but also the outward expression of a person's "psychological security."
This test is adapted from the classic Rotter Interpersonal Trust Scale, focusing on measuring an individual's **evaluation of others' trustworthiness** and **willingness to self-disclose** in the modern social environment.
II. Why Do We Need to Understand Our Trust Tendencies?
Trust is not "the more the better," but a dynamic balance between "blind optimism" and "excessive defensiveness." A healthy trust tendency has the following traits:
- Being able to evaluate others based on real evidence rather than a defensive mindset
- Being willing to take reasonable psychological risks when building an intimate relationship
- Even after betrayal, being able to distinguish an individual's behavior from the trustworthiness of the world as a whole
- Having clear psychological boundaries, knowing when to open up and when to hold back
III. Description of the Assessment Dimensions
To portray your trust profile more comprehensively, this test includes the following three core dimensions:
- Basic Sense of Security: Your underlying view of how the world works and the essence of human nature.
- Social Defensiveness: How quickly and how strongly you build psychological defenses in daily social situations and unfamiliar environments.
- Openness in Intimate Relationships: Your willingness to show your vulnerable side in deep emotional exchange.
IV. Scoring and Interpretation
