Your Supporter's IQ is... Average
Congratulations. By completing this quiz, you’ve shown you're committed to becoming someone's ally and supporter. However, according to your answers, your Supporter's IQ is average, and here’s what that means…You are aware of the needs around you. You have built trust with those who are in abuse, but you just don't know what to offer them other than resource information, but you are ready to do a little more. You are mentally able to listen to their stories as they vent, but you find yourself tempted to offer solutions. Remember you are not the superhero. You are a first responder. You are there to listen, empathize, and as they build their escape plan you let them lead. They might want you to stash the bag, have phone numbers ready, or be there to pick them up for appointments as they prepare for their escape.
