Question 1

What is InnerMirror?

Accepted Answer

InnerMirror is a free platform for research-validated psychological self-assessments. It offers over 80 questionnaires covering personality, relationships, anxiety, depression, and emotional regulation — with personalized results, age and gender norm comparisons, and practical self-work tools. All data is processed locally in your browser and never stored on a server.

Question 2

Are the assessments on InnerMirror scientifically validated?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Every assessment is based on a peer-reviewed psychological instrument published in academic literature — such as the ECR-R for attachment patterns, GAD-7 for generalized anxiety, and PHQ-9 for depression. Each assessment lists the original authors, year of development, and reliability coefficients (Cronbach's alpha) from the validating research.

Question 3

How long does each assessment take?

Accepted Answer

Most assessments take between 5 and 15 minutes. Short screeners like the GAD-7 (7 items) take under 2 minutes, while comprehensive tools like the ECR-R attachment assessment can take up to 15 minutes. Estimated time is shown on each assessment card.

Question 4

Does InnerMirror store my answers?

Accepted Answer

No. InnerMirror stores no personally identifiable information. All answers are processed entirely in your browser — no user accounts, no database, no tracking. The entire process is completely anonymous.

Question 5

What is InnerMirror suitable for — and what is it not?

Accepted Answer

InnerMirror is suited for anyone wanting to understand themselves better: relationship patterns, personal strengths, and anxiety or depression levels compared to age and gender norms. It is not a substitute for clinical diagnosis, psychological treatment, or professional consultation — it is designed for self-awareness and learning, not medical diagnosis.

Question 6

What is the difference between a self-assessment and a psychological diagnosis?

Accepted Answer

A self-assessment is a questionnaire completed independently, giving an initial picture of tendencies, patterns, and symptom levels. A psychological diagnosis involves a clinical interview, observation, and multiple tests conducted by a licensed psychologist. Our scores parallel those used by clinicians — but full interpretation requires professional training.
