The Irrational Beliefs Scale
Irrational beliefs are attitudes, opinions, or personal values that keep us from seeing the world the way it really is.
Without our even knowing we're doing it, we could be keeping ourselves from getting what we really want, because we can't let go of unfounded beliefs about how things “should” be.

Your results
How strongly do these beliefs influence you?
The statements you rated measure how intensely you subscribe to each of the twelve beliefs below. Each is scored out of 25 and read on its own — there is no total, and no pass or fail.
- 20–25 Dysfunctional influence. Causing distress.
- 15–19 Negative influence. Causing some pain, and worth re-examining.
- 10–14 Some influence. Could be serving conscientious performance.
- 0–9 Little to no influence. Neither helping nor hindering performance.
What to do next
A high score is not a verdict — it is a starting point. These beliefs are learned, which means they can be unlearned. That is the work Dr. Daoust does in Make Change Easy and in one-to-one coaching.
