SELF-DISCOVERY QUIZ

How much are you hiding your stutter?

Covert stuttering is the hidden work of monitoring, avoiding, and self-editing your speech — no matter if you sound fluent or not. Take this powerful 60-second quiz that reveals your unique covert response type and how it's impacting your day-to-day life. Discover what's possible when you stop hiding so much.

You can't heal what you're busy hiding

If you spend your day:

  • Rehearsing what to say before you speak
  • Trying to avoid stuttering or certain "danger words"
  • Feeling tense, ashamed, or frustrated when stuttering happens
  • Worrying about how others are perceiving you

…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 inside, and what that struggle is quietly costing you.

What you'll discover in just one minute

You'll learn:

  • Where you fall on the covert-to-overt stuttering spectrum
  • How your mental and emotional patterns may be 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 more awareness, compassion and choice

* Each result is paired with a sea creature that mirrors your current approach to stuttering—each 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 feel safer
  • You feel exhausted by how much effort and struggle goes into sounding "okay"
  • You're fluent one moment and tense with stuttering in the next
  • You're ready to stop hiding—and start understanding yourself with more kindness

Hi, I'm Paige

Certified Coach and former covert stutterer

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 exhausted from working so hard to manage, hide, or avoid stuttering altogether.

Covert stuttering isn’t just about how you sound—it’s about everything you do to stay in control, stay accepted, and stay safe.

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 treating yourself with more understanding and less self-imposed pressure.

How much energy are you spending to hide your stutter?
