Questions: 15 · 10 minutes
1. When you are having a difficult day, which pattern best describes the support between you?
My partner tries to understand what I need, just as I try to do for them.
They care but may need a clear request before offering much support.
I often receive limited attention even after explaining what would help.
There is little room for my distress, while I am still expected to hold theirs.
2. For recurring shared tasks—such as travel arrangements, household duties, or coordinating schedules—which pattern fits best?
We divide tasks in a way we both regard as workable, even if the split is not identical.
I handle somewhat more, while my partner reliably completes agreed responsibilities.
I carry most of the planning and must often remind my partner about their part.
I am expected to manage nearly everything, including problems caused by their lack of follow-through.
3. Suppose a demanding period leaves you with less time or energy than usual. How does the relationship adapt?
My partner adjusts expectations and takes on more where possible, as I would for them.
They are understanding, although I still coordinate most of the changes.
I remain responsible for keeping things running despite clearly communicating my limits.
My limits are disregarded, and I face pressure or consequences for not continuing my usual effort.
4. You share an important piece of good news. How does your partner typically respond?
They show interest, ask about it, and make space for my excitement.
They respond positively, although the conversation may move on fairly quickly.
Their response is often brief, and I need to explain why the news matters to me.
My news is commonly minimized, ignored, or redirected to what is happening with them.
5. When you express a relationship need, such as wanting reassurance or more affection, what tends to follow?
We discuss what the need means and look for an approach that respects us both.
My partner listens, but changes are gradual or inconsistent unless I mention it again.
I need to repeat or defend the need before it receives serious attention.
My needs are commonly dismissed, mocked, or treated as an unreasonable burden.
6. When future plans such as holidays, living arrangements, or shared goals come up, how involved is your partner?
They contribute ideas, discuss practicalities, and take part in next steps.
They are receptive but usually let me lead the planning.
They speak positively about the future but avoid concrete decisions or responsibilities.
I am doing nearly all the imagining and planning without clear reciprocal commitment.
7. Your partner agrees to do something important for the relationship. What usually happens?
They follow through or communicate early when circumstances genuinely change.
They usually follow through, though an occasional reminder helps.
Commitments are often delayed or incomplete unless I monitor them.
Promises regularly replace action, leaving me to absorb the consequences.
8. In ordinary conversations, how much curiosity does your partner show about your inner world?
They regularly ask follow-up questions and remember things that matter to me.
They listen when I bring things up, though they initiate deeper conversations less often.
I have to work to keep the focus on my experiences long enough to feel heard.
Conversations consistently center on them, with little genuine interest in my perspective.
9. After an argument in which both of you were upset, what usually drives the repair?
We both return to the issue, acknowledge our parts, and try to reconnect.
One of us may begin the conversation, but the other usually participates sincerely.
I normally initiate repair and do most of the work to restore closeness.
Repair happens only if I set aside my feelings, apologize, or act as though nothing happened.
10. During a particularly busy week, how is your connection maintained?
We both make small, realistic efforts to stay connected around our commitments.
I reach out more, while my partner responds warmly when time allows.
I do most of the checking in and often wait for brief or uncertain responses.
Contact nearly disappears unless I keep initiating it.
11. Your partner cancels a date or shared activity. What tends to happen next?
They normally suggest another time without needing a reminder.
They express interest in rescheduling, though I may need to restart the planning.
I usually have to raise the subject again and offer the replacement options.
The plan is generally lost unless I repeatedly try to revive it.
12. A decision affects both of you, but your preferences differ. How is it usually resolved?
We exchange priorities and seek a solution that shares the compromise.
We discuss both views, though I tend to bend a little more often.
I commonly give way because reaching a balanced solution takes more effort than my partner will make.
My preference is routinely excluded, or disagreement brings pressure until I give in.
13. Imagine you decide not to initiate messages or plans for several days. Based on your usual pattern, what would most likely occur?
My partner would probably reach out naturally, as I would if the situation were reversed.
They would likely notice after a while and make contact.
They might eventually send a brief message, but little would happen without my follow-up.
The connection would probably remain quiet until I restarted it.
14. How does your partner make room for the relationship alongside friends, family, work, study, or personal interests?
They actively reserve time for us while still maintaining their other priorities.
They make time fairly consistently, though I am usually the one coordinating it.
Time together often happens only after their other priorities are settled.
I regularly have to compete for or request even basic time together.
15. When the two of you make plans to spend time together, what usually happens?
We both suggest ideas and take turns organizing the details.
I suggest plans somewhat more often, but my partner usually engages and helps shape them.
I usually initiate, and plans often need extra prompting from me to become definite.
Nearly all plans depend on me proposing, arranging, and confirming them.
