What is your ACE score?
ACE is short for Adverse Childhood Experiences
The ACE test is specific to experiences a person has endured before turning 18 years old. This 10-question scale is a guideline to help in overcoming the effects of the adversities, so the individual can live a mentally healthy life. This scale does not take into account the positive contributions, such as a caring grandparent, friend, coach, therapist, or teacher in a person’s childhood that may have already helped in building resiliency to the adverse experiences.
A score of 4 or more indicates trauma symptoms are most likely manifesting in an individual’s behavior. The higher the score, the more likely the person will display significant behavioral symptoms.
