How much are you hiding your stutter?

Take this 60-second quiz to discover where you fall on the covert to overt spectrum and how much energy you’re spending just to speak each day.

You can't heal what you're busy hiding

If you spend your day:

  • Trying not to stutter
  • Rehearsing what to say
  • Avoiding certain words or situations
  • Feeling tense, ashamed, or frustrated when you do stutter

…then you're likely stuck in covert patterns—even if your stuttering is visible, fluctuating, or mild.

This quiz isn’t about how much you stutter.


It’s about how much you struggle with it inside and what that struggle is costing you.

What you'll discover in just one minute

You'll learn:

  • Where you fall on the covert-overt stuttering spectrum
  • How your internal patterns may be quietly draining your energy
  • A behaviour style rooted in nature* that reflects how you manage your stutter
  • A clear next step based on your result—for awareness, healing and growth

* Your result will be paired with a sea creature that reflects your current behaviour around stuttering—each one inspired by real traits found in nature (and in us).

This quiz is for you if…

  • You're trying hard not to stutter—but it keeps happening
  • You avoid words, situations, or eye contact to 'protect' yourself
  • You feel exhausted by how much energy you put into sounding okay
  • You're fluent in one moment, but tense and ashamed the next
  • You're ready to stop hiding—and start understanding yourself

Hi, I'm Paige

Certified Coach and former Octopus

For years, I struggled with covert stuttering and fluctuating fluency. Some days I sounded “fine” and some days I didn’t. But every day, I wasn't feeling fine. I was miserable.

I was working hard to manage, hide, or avoid stuttering altogether. The result? I was always tense. Always scanning. Always tired.

This quiz is the tool I wish I had when I didn’t yet have the words to explain what I was going through.


It’s a gentle, validating first step toward supporting and treating yourself with compassion.

How much are you really hiding your stutter?
