Self-Assessments

Evidence-based tools to identify trauma patterns
and understand their impact on your nervous system

Which Assessment Should You Take?

Both assessments reveal different layers of adverse experience. The ACE Assessment identifies childhood trauma. The AAE Assessment identifies adult attachment disruption. Together, they show the full picture of what your nervous system is still processing.

AAE Assessment

Adverse Adulthood Experiences

Identifies 10 core emotional and relational patterns shaped by disrupted attachment in adulthood. Created by Dr. Negin Rajaipour, MD as part of The E3 Method™ framework.

What it measures:

  • Emotional dysregulation patterns
  • Attachment disruption markers
  • Self-perception distortions
  • Relational capacity impact
  • Performance compensation behaviors

Time: ~10 minutes | 32 questions

ACE Assessment

Adverse Childhood Experiences

The CDC-Kaiser Permanente screening tool that identifies 10 categories of childhood adversity. One of the most validated instruments for measuring early-life trauma exposure.

What it measures:

  • Childhood abuse (emotional, physical, sexual)
  • Household dysfunction (divorce, substance abuse, incarceration)
  • Neglect (emotional, physical)
  • Parental mental illness
  • Domestic violence exposure

Time: ~5 minutes | 10 questions

Why Both Assessments Matter

ACE scores reveal childhood foundation. AAE scores reveal adult compounding. High scores on either (or both) correlate with nervous system dysregulation, chronic health issues, relationship disruption, and performance instability.

Understanding both gives you the complete picture of what you're working with — and what restoration requires.
