THE ACCOUNTABILITY
GRADIENT SCALE
Accountability Is Emotional Maturity in Action
This scale helps you notice accountability as a pattern, not a trait.
Accountability exists on a gradient — a path we walk with intention, humility, and relational consciousness.
This is not a test, a diagnosis, or a judgment.
It is a way to orient toward safety, accountability, and capacity to grow.
