How self compassionate are you?

[Teasel]

I'm reading Self Compassion by Kristin Neff and she links to a quiz on her site to see how self compassionate you are.

I did ok, scored a 2.85 overall

Anyway here's the test if you want to try.

I found it helpful in flagging up to me behaviours I barely had realised were quite self judgmental.
