Frequently asked questions
This quiz measures core aspects of couple communication and relationship compatibility, including active listening, emotional support, conflict resolution strategies, planning habits, and how partners give and receive feedback. The combined score indicates strengths and improvement areas.
Scores fall into three ranges: 0–10 indicates significant communication challenges that may require focused work or professional help; 11–20 suggests moderate skills with room for consistent practice; 21–30 reflects strong communication and higher relationship compatibility. Use the recommendations provided to target improvement.
No. This assessment is an educational tool that highlights communication patterns and compatibility. It provides practical steps to improve communication but is not a substitute for professional therapy if you face deep conflict, trauma, or persistent relational distress.
Retake the quiz after 4–8 weeks of intentionally practicing communication strategies, or whenever you want to check progress after implementing the recommended actions. Regular retakes can track improvements and help set new relationship goals.
We recommend both partners take the quiz separately and then compare results. Individual answers reveal perceptions and patterns; comparing responses can spark productive, non-blaming conversations about differences and shared goals.
Yes. Start with active listening exercises (mirroring and summarizing), weekly check-ins, agreed-upon conflict rules (time-outs, no name-calling), and using 'I' statements. For more structured help, consider communication workshops, books on relationship skills, or a licensed couple therapist.
The assessment itself is a self-help tool; how you store or share results is up to you. Use your results as a starting point for calm, constructive conversations. Focus on learning and growth rather than blame — the goal is to improve relationship compatibility and communication patterns.
