Sliding Scale Self-Assessment
This is a short quiz to help you locate yourself on the sliding scale. It’s totally anonymous and does not get submitted to or read by anyone but you. There are so many elements of class and access that are not included in these few questions, so please just use this as a general guide to think about your access to resources (or lack thereof,) and make an honest and self-loving evaluation.
*You know your financial situation better than any scale could ever measure*
Or if you prefer visuals, here’s the same idea in table form. Check out where your answers fell and then imagine a trend line that averages them.
| 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| A | A | A | A | A | A | Tier 1 |
| B | B | B | B | B | B | Tier 2 |
| C | C | C | C | C | C | Tier 3 |
| D | D | D | D | D | D | Tier 4 |
| E | E | E | E | E | E | Tier 5 |
for example:
If you have out-of-network insurance benefits:
Please factor the reimbursement into your assessment.
For example, if you self-assess a rate of $100, and insurance will reimburse 50%, your rate is $200.
If you are unsure of your benefits, check out this Insurance Questions Worksheet.
