Frequently asked questions
Do I need an account?
No. The test runs in your browser session until you submit the final step. There is no sign-up or password.
What do you store about me?
When you finish, we save the score, a timestamp, and the two first names you entered (each up to 25 characters) so your result page can be opened again from its link. See Privacy for details.
Should my partner take it too?
One person can take it alone, but the inventory is most useful when both people complete it separately about the same relationship. Compare scores side by side rather than expecting them to match. See Compare with your partner.
Can I retake the test?
Yes. Start again from Take the test. Each submission creates a new result link. Older links keep working if you saved them.
Can I share my result?
After you complete the test, the results page offers share buttons and a copy-link option. Anyone with the link can see the score and the names you entered. Do not share if you want to keep the result private.
Is this a diagnosis or therapy?
No. This is a self-report quiz based on published social-psychology research. It does not evaluate mental health, attachment disorders, or whether you should stay in a relationship. If you are in distress, please contact a qualified professional in your area.
Why do some activity questions feel outdated?
The checklist comes from a 1989 student sample. Items like “attended class” or “worked on homework” made sense in that context. Use the list literally for the past week — if you did analogous things (co-working, online classes, etc.), check what fits best — or focus on the influence and future sections, which age more gracefully.
