Who this test is for
What is a shadow work test?
A shadow work test is a structured way to notice recurring emotional and relational patterns — not a clinical diagnosis. InnerAgency’s quiz maps your answers to archetypes like The Critic, The Mask, The Exile, The Protector, The Flame, and The Wanderer.
You finish with personalized results: how the pattern may have formed, gifts and watch-outs, emotional patterns, relationship patterns, growth suggestions, and a journaling starter.
How it works
Answer ten multiple-choice questions about stress, belonging, anger, rest, and closeness. InnerAgency scores your pattern with simple rules — not an AI reading your life story.
- No account and no email required to see results
- Detailed report you can screenshot or journal from
- Optional path to a private iPhone journal (Sanctuary) if you want a daily practice
