Questionnaire (ENAQ)

The Emotional Needs Assessment Questionnaire (ENAQ) helps individuals explore the extent to which core emotional needs were met during childhood and how those experiences may continue to influence relationships and emotional well-being today.

This assessment contains 20 questions and takes approximately 5–10 minutes to complete.

Your responses are completely anonymous. No identifying information is collected.

Rate each statement based on your experience with your primary caregiver(s) during childhood, using a scale from 0 (Never Met) to 5 (Almost Always Met).

This tool is intended for educational and self-reflection purposes only. It is not a clinical diagnostic instrument.
