Trauma Response Type - 5F Test

Have you ever wondered why you react the way you do under pressure? **Trauma Response Type Test** is a gentle, 25-question reflection that maps your default nervous-system pattern to one of five evidence-informed responses: **Fight, Flight, Freeze, Fawn, or Flop** — the 5F model that has reshaped how therapists, trauma-informed coaches, and self-aware people understand their reactions.

This is a tool for self-reflection, not a clinical diagnosis. The patterns you find here are starting points for self-awareness, not labels.

**Why this app exists**

Most quizzes treat you like a problem to be solved. This one treats you like someone with a nervous system that has been doing its best to keep you safe. The Fawn response isn't weakness; the Fight response isn't villainy. Each is a strategy that once worked. Knowing your dominant pattern is the first step to choosing differently — gently, on your own pace.
