Simp Test

The IDRLabs Simp Test is developed by IDRLabs.

A "simp" is a slang term typically used to describe someone, often a man, who demonstrates excessive admiration, devotion, or submissiveness toward someone they are romantically interested in, often to an unhealthy or self-degrading degree. This behavior is usually characterized by a disproportionate willingness to please, support, or cater to the object of their affection, regardless of whether these actions are reciprocated or appreciated. The term "simp" originated from the word "simpleton," historically meaning someone foolish or gullible. In contemporary usage, it has evolved to highlight a perceived imbalance in romantic or platonic interactions, where the "simp" prioritizes the other person's needs, desires, or validation over their own. Key behaviors include excessive flattery, unreciprocated generosity, emotional dependency, and idealization of the other person, often overlooking any flaws or negative behavior they may exhibit. "Simp" behavior is often criticized for reflecting low self-esteem, a lack of self-respect, and an unhealthy dynamic in relationships. It can manifest in various ways, from spending excessive time and money on the person of interest to defending them irrationally or sacrificing personal well-being to maintain their favor. The term is generally used pejoratively, carrying a connotation of ridicule or disapproval, especially in online communities and social media platforms. In essence, being labeled a "simp" implies a lack of balance in a relationship dynamic, where one person's excessive efforts to gain approval or affection are seen as diminishing their own value and self-worth.

Submissiveness: Denotes a tendency to defer to others' preferences or decisions. It describes a lack of assertiveness and a preference for following rather than leading. This factor represents a willingness to let others take control of situations, often at the expense of one's own desires or opinions.

One-sided Generosity: Evaluates the tendency to give without expecting anything in return. It refers to a selfless approach to generosity, where personal satisfaction comes from the act of giving itself. This factor represents a willingness to help others purely out of kindness, regardless of whether the gesture is reciprocated.

Dependency: Measures a strong reliance on another person for emotional or psychological support. It refers to a person's mood or sense of well-being being heavily influenced by someone else. This factor reflects an emotional reliance that can affect one's overall happiness and stability.
