Everybody wants to feel seen. The question is how you get there, and most of us never stop to actually look at our own patterns. Maybe you chase a gold star at work. Maybe you check on everyone else before it even crosses your mind to check on yourself. Maybe you’d rather not admit how much other people’s opinions actually get to you – but they do, just a bit.

ADVERTISEMENTValidation isn’t a bad word. It’s a basic human need, just like sleep and coffee. What changes from person to person is the delivery method. Some of us need an audience.

This quiz digs into 27 questions and uses your answers to map out your real validation style. Not the version you’d like to think you have. The one you actually live out, day to day.
