Imagine that you are standing on the bank of a river and on the other side is something you really want. How do you decide to get to the other side?

Select an answer:

I will wait until I find a bridge or a safe crossing. I will try to cross the river, even though I don't know how deep it is. I will stay put and consider whether what I want is really worth the risk. I ask someone for help or for a boat to take me across. I'll go around the river and find an alternative route.

Imagine that your personal space is like a house. What would its doors look like?

Select an answer:

They have a solid lock, and I only open them for selected people. They are still open, anyone can come and go. Sometimes I forget to close them, but I try to keep an eye on them. They are hidden behind dense trees, few people know where to find them. They have a password, but if someone knocks persistently enough, I will eventually let them in.

If you had to visualize your boundaries as a country, what would it be like?

Select an answer:

High mountains, through which only a few well-known trails lead. Solid walls with gates that can be opened or closed as needed. An open meadow without barriers, where anyone can enter. A labyrinth where only a few chosen ones find the way. A sea with unclear boundaries that are constantly changing.

How do you react when someone crosses your boundaries?

Select an answer:

First, I try to explain where the boundary is, and I hope they understand it. I'll get angry, but I often don't say anything. I will immediately make it clear that they have crossed the line. I will step back and no longer meet with them. I will try to adapt to them, even though it isn't comfortable for me.

If you had to express how firmly you can set boundaries with a color, which color would you choose?

Imagine that your emotional boundaries are like a garden. How do you take care of it?

Select an answer:

I regularly maintain it, trim it, and water it. I let her grow wild, without control. I have a high fence, but I rarely visit it. I make sure that no one damages her, but sometimes I let too many people in. I don't know who it belongs to - someone is always changing it according to their own ideas.

How would you react if you found out that someone entered your private space without permission?

Select an answer:

I would calmly but firmly tell them that it is not acceptable. I would feel uncomfortable, but I might not say anything. I would get angry and immediately confront that person. I would withdraw and try to avoid them. First, I would try to understand why they did it, and only then would I react.

How do you feel when you tell someone "no"?

Select an answer:

Confidently, I know that I have the right to my boundaries. I'm afraid I'll disappoint them with that. Uncomfortable, but I know it's necessary. I avoid it, often I prefer to agree instead. Anxiety, I'm afraid it will cause a conflict.

If you had an animal that symbolizes your ability to protect your boundaries, what would it be?

Leopard – fast and uncompromising in protecting its territory. Owl – wise and attentive, notices boundary crossing before it becomes a problem. Dog – loyal, but sometimes too willing to let others into their space. Deer – sensitive and would rather run away than defend itself. Octopus – adaptable, but it does not always know exactly where its boundaries are.

Imagine that you have three keys on your table. Each of them symbolizes a different way to learn to set boundaries better. Which one do you choose?

Select an answer:

The golden key represents self-confidence and the courage to say "no." The silver key – signifies the ability to communicate your boundaries diplomatically yet firmly. The bronze key – symbolizes the willingness to learn from experiences and gradually build stronger boundaries. The key to unknown doors – speaks of uncertainty, but the desire to discover how to learn it. None – I have the feeling that boundaries are set by others rather than by myself.
