People pleaser score

Answer questions about how often you agree to things you don't want, soften feedback, and feel resentment. Podge returns a score.

What this means

No waffle. Just the number and how it was worked out.

Formula used

Pleaser score weighted by agreeableness frequency, feedback avoidance, comfort prioritisation, resentment level, and ability to decline.

Worked example

Almost always agrees to avoid conflict, always softens feedback, constantly prioritises others' comfort, significant resentment: score 14/15 — significant self-cost.

Common questions

Is people pleasing always bad?
No — considering others' feelings is prosocial. The issue is when it becomes habitual suppression of your own accurate self-expression, and when resentment builds as a result. The score identifies where on the spectrum you are.
