Transactional Analysis Life Position Assessment
Emocare – Counselling & Life Coaching in Ambattur, Chennai offers this free educational self-reflection questionnaire for people in Chennai, Tamil Nadu, across India and online worldwide. Explore how strongly you currently endorse the four TA life positions: I’m OK–You’re OK, I’m OK–You’re not OK, I’m not OK–You’re OK and I’m not OK–You’re not OK.
This is an educational self-reflection questionnaire based on Transactional Analysis concepts. It is not presented as a validated diagnostic psychological instrument. Life positions are tendencies, not permanent labels, and people may respond differently across situations.

This 2 × 2 map shows where each of your four independent scores sits conceptually. The highlighted box is the highest score (or highest scores when tied).
I have value. You have value.
I trust my worth more readily than yours.
I give you more value than I give myself.
I may lose confidence in both myself and others.
Growth direction: returning toward mutual OK–OK
The aim is not to feel OK–OK every moment. The practical goal is to notice when you move into another position and, when safe and appropriate, return toward self-respect plus respect for the other person.
Question-by-Question Personal Reflection
After scoring, each statement can become a small counselling-style reflection: what pattern the statement explores, how your response may be understood, a more balanced reframe, and one practical action.
