Financial Attitudes Assessment

We all have attitudes about money and they are developed over a lifetime. Family, friends, and culture all contribute to their development. But what if those attitudes include "blind spots" that make it harder to achieve your financial goals?

This 32 question assessment is adapted from the Klontz Money Script Inventory. It's designed to help you identify your underlying attitudes about money as they relate to four common "scripts" or attitudes towards money: avoidance, vigilance, worship, and status seeking.

Remember, there are no right or wrong answers.
