What this self-check measures
This is not a diagnosis and there is no pass or fail. It measures the current frequency, credibility, and behavioral cost of “She only brought it up because she hates conflict”, including the private rule underneath it: If someone who normally avoids conflict speaks up anyway, the discomfort it cost her proves the comment is true, so her reluctance carries more weight than what you've actually witnessed yourself.
