Low Sign of Family Pathology
Your present score indicates that you have a low indication of Family Pathology. This suggests that you may face some difficulty in openly communicating your needs, feelings, or concerns within the family, but it is not a pervasive issue. Additionally, occasional misunderstandings, anger, or arguments among family members might contribute to a somewhat stressful family situation.
Furthermore, your score indicates that you might have experienced instances of harm (physical, spoken, or emotional) within the family, and there may have been some unresolved past traumas among family members. It is also possible that you might have felt somewhat unsafe within the family and find it challenging to trust them. Additionally, there have been moments where you may have perceived neglect and a lack of adequate care from your family members.
However, it should be noted that your responses may have an impact on your physical, psychological, social, academic/career and other areas of functioning. If you think the results do not accurately match your characteristics, then we would encourage you to consult a Psychologist for an accurate result.
