What the self-assessment tools are based on
Two kinds of content, two origins
The site mixes two things that need to be kept apart.
The games rely on community votes: the red flag ranking is produced by the players themselves, using the method described here. It has no clinical value.
The self-assessment tools are a different matter: they reproduce scales produced by French public institutions and specialized nonprofits. We are not their authors.

🛡️ Incest meter (Incestomètre)

The guidelines used draw on the awareness work of two French nonprofits, Face à l’inceste and Mémoire Traumatique et Victimologie.
Our online version has 20 questions.
The harassment meter and the discrimination meter are adaptations we wrote ourselves, based on the same graded approach. They don’t reproduce any existing official scale and should be read as awareness tools.

These tools are provided for information only. They are not a diagnosis and don’t replace the advice of a professional. A questionnaire knows nothing about the context, the history or the power dynamics of a particular situation.
No answer is sent or stored: the questionnaires run in your browser.
