You came here looking for a label.
Let’s look at the pattern.

When someone confuses or hurts us, we want a clean answer. Narcissist or not. Love or not. Toxic or just hard. Ambiguity is exhausting — and a label promises to end it.

Zyybra is named after that impulse. A zebra is black and white. Real relationships rarely are. We start with the question you actually searched for, then give you something more useful than a yes or no: a clear picture of the pattern.

Pattern, trait, diagnosis

We keep three things apart, because blurring them is where most online quizzes go wrong.

• A pattern is what you can observe in a relationship: what happens, how often, and what follows.
• A trait is a tendency a person carries across many situations and relationships.
• A diagnosis is a clinical judgment made by a qualified professional who has assessed the person directly.

Our tests measure patterns. They never diagnose you or anyone you know.

How we write questions

Every question is about observable behavior. We don’t ask you to guess what someone secretly believes; we ask what they do. “Does your partner often expect special treatment that they would not offer to others?” rather than “Does your partner think they’re superior to everyone?”

Questions are grouped into dimensions — accountability, boundary respect, pace, repair and so on — so your result shows which parts of a pattern are present, not just a single number.

What our tests are — and aren’t

Zyybra tests are structured reflective assessments. They’re informed by relationship and attachment research, but they are not validated clinical instruments, and we don’t claim otherwise. Where validated scales exist, they’re designed for clinicians and researchers; our tests are designed to help you think clearly about your own situation.

How we write our guides

Our guides are written by the Zyybra editorial team. Each one starts from a question people actually ask — “Why did they ghost me?”, “Is this gaslighting?” — and tries to answer it directly, then explain the pattern, what it can and can’t tell you, and a sensible next step.

Where a guide makes a factual claim about psychology, it draws on published research — peer-reviewed studies, academic books and recognized professional bodies — listed under “Sources and further reading” at the end of the page. Popular terms such as “trauma bond”, “covert narcissist” or “love bombing” are described as popular terms, not diagnoses. Examples labeled as composites are illustrations, not real people.

Our guides are not reviewed by a clinician and are not medical or psychological advice. If something in a guide is unclear or out of date, we revise it. If you are in danger or struggling to cope, please contact a professional or a crisis service.

Some guides recommend related products from the same group — Infeee for self-assessment and Dypnosis for guided hypnosis. Those recommendations are labeled, kept away from safety information, and never affect test results. Ads & partners

How Zyybra is funded

Tests are free because the site is supported by advertising and clearly labeled partner recommendations. Neither affects your result, and ads never appear inside a test. Ads & partners
