[TEST] ADVERSE CHILDHOOD EXPERIENCES (ACE)

13 Jan 2020

Tags: PTSD , Depression , Anxiety , Childhood Trauma , Anger Management

When parents are absent, neglectful, abusive, or fail to provide a safe, stable, and loving environment, children grow up to be adults with problems.

The CDC (Centers for Disease Control)-Kaiser Permanente Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACE) Study is one of the largest investigations of childhood abuse and neglect and later-life health and well-being. The study has demonstrated a direct association between adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) and health and social problems as an adult. The data from the ACE Test is taken from tens of thousands of participants across the United States over a period of nearly two decades.

Some questions include things that in my opinion are from very very bad to bad but not so bad, so I don’t really know what to answer.

Questioned if dad abused mom, but no mention of the reverse. I find many of these hard to answer coming from a mainly mentally destructive childhood, not so much physical.

Too general questions and mainly based on physical behaviour. In the same questions I could answer yes part of it but no on other part

the "often or very often" throws me off. I did witness a lot but not "often or very often". I could probably answer yes to most of these if the question was "ever or often"

There wasn't a question about Parental arguing or placing too high expectations, lack of feeling that you were enough

Why is 5 years between abuser and victim significant? My abuser was only 3 years older than me but the unwanted sexual experiences were still just that: unwanted and abusive.

This isn't a very comprehensive test. I don't think it's very effective when assessing the impact of your childhood on your adult life.

Mine is very high and then I spent 24 adult years with an abuser. Total psychopath who tortured me.

Doesn't take into account childhood bereavement or a narcissistic parent.
