How the results work

Match, close, or worth a conversation.

  • MatchYou picked the same answer.
  • CloseYour answers sit next to each other on the scale.
  • Worth a conversationFurther apart than that.

Each area gets one of the three from its four questions, and the widest gaps become the three conversations to have first. It describes your answers today, not your relationship.

Private by design

Your answers are a diary, not data.

  • The test runs entirely in your browser
  • Names and answers are never sent to us or anyone
  • Nothing is saved, so a refresh starts fresh
  • No account, no email, no catch

The honest part

A map of today, not a forecast.

No quiz can reliably tell you how a relationship will go, and this one doesn’t try. When researchers pooled 43 long-term studies of 11,196 couples, whether a couple’s happiness rose or fell over time was largely unpredictable from what people said in questionnaires.

What it can do: show where your answers line up today, so you know which conversations to start with. Answers change, too. Take it again in a year and compare.

It isn’t therapy or a premarital assessment either. For guided support, look for a licensed couples therapist.

Questions

Good to know

Can this test tell us if we’re compatible?
Not in any predictive sense. It shows where your answers line up today, area by area, so you know what to talk about. No quiz can reliably tell you how a relationship will go: when researchers pooled 43 long-term studies of 11,196 couples, whether a couple’s happiness rose or fell over time was largely unpredictable from questionnaires.
Is it really private?
Yes. The whole test runs in your browser. Your names and answers are never sent to us or anyone else, and nothing is saved. Close the tab or tap Start over, and it’s gone.
Do we need two phones?
No, one is plenty. The first player answers 20 questions and passes the phone. The second player answers the same 20, then you look at the results together.
How are the results worked out?
Each question’s answers sit on a scale. The same answer is a match, answers next to each other are close, and anything further apart is worth a conversation. Each area gets one of those three from its four questions, and the widest gaps across the whole test become the conversations to have first.
What if we get a lot of “worth a conversation”?
Then you have a good list of things to talk about. A difference isn’t a verdict on your relationship, it’s a starting point. Pick one tonight and use the question we suggest to get going.
How is this different from the Same Page Check?
The Same Page Check is our ten-question quiz across the big topics, with one overall result. This test goes wider: twenty questions in five areas, with results area by area.
Is this a premarital assessment?
No. It’s a free conversation starter, not a clinical or premarital assessment, and the questions are our own. For guided support, look for a licensed couples therapist.
