Where you feel control sits (Levenson IPC)

A free self-check of where you feel the control over your life sits: with you, with other people, or with chance. It has 24 short statements and takes about five minutes.

The statements below describe attitudes people hold. Each one is a common opinion, so there are no right or wrong answers — you will agree with some and disagree with others. We would like to know how much you agree or disagree with each statement. Read each one carefully and choose the answer closest to your view. Your first choice is usually your best one; if none of the answers fits exactly, pick the one that comes closest.
