HIGH CONTROL GROUP INVENTORY
This is a list of religious or spiritual teachings that are common in high-control religious groups. They reinforce conformity, submission, inter-reliance, and fear of outsiders as means of control. While one of these teachings may not individually qualify as religious abuse, if multiple statements align with a group’s doctrine, it's likely a high-control religious group.
Put a check by the statements that reflect what your current or former group teaches, demonstrates, or implies.
Interpretation
If your religious group taught multiple items on this list, you’ve experienced a high-control group. That doesn't necessarily mean that the group was cult or that it was always abusive, but it's definitely cause for concern. You are at a higher risk of developing religious trauma symptoms because of your high-control group experiences.
