No online test is 100 percent accurate. The test above is provided for educational purposes only and is not a substitute for professional advice.

If you scored under 18, you have very few or no passive-aggressive tendencies.

However, if you resent others a lot, you may be predisposed to developing passive-aggressive behavior later on.

If your score is closer to 18, you may remember one or several occasions when you employed passive-aggressive tactics; however, you probably acted out of character.

If you scored 19-36, you regularly employ passive-aggressive behavior to achieve your goals or express your discontent.

Remember, not only is this type of behavior toxic, but it is also unproductive.

Because you never spell out things, you are less likely to get your problem solved. Good questions to ask yourself:

  • What am I afraid of?
  • What do I feel? Am I hurt? Am I resentful? Am I uncomfortable? Do I feel unappreciated?
  • What happens if I express my feelings?
  • What needs to happen for me to stop acting passive-aggressive?
  • How do other people feel when I act like this?

If you scored over 36, you are likely to employ passive-aggressive behaviors habitually. Ask yourself the questions above and try to answer as honestly as you can.

Passive-aggressive behavior itself is not a medical disorder, but if you want to communicate more effectively, you may want to work with a therapist.

You may want to find out why you act the way you do and whether there are unresolved past issues that made you this way.

Another thing to keep in mind, there are some conditions that are associated with passive-aggressive behavior:

  • stress
  • anxiety
  • depression
  • bipolar disorder
  • substance abuse
  • ADHD
