HOW THIS TEST WORKS
How Am I a Good Partner? works
How version core-v1 is scored, and what it can and cannot tell you.
How it is scored
This test looks at being a good partner as a set of skills you can build. It draws on research about how couples handle conflict (Gottman, 1994), how partners respond to each other's needs (Reis, Clark, and Holmes, 2004), and how they respond to each other's good news (Gable and others, 2004).
This test looks at five areas: open communication, support and care, showing love, fighting fair, and being a team. Each area has eight sentences. Half describe the skill and half describe the opposite, so you cannot get a high score just by agreeing with everything. Each answer gives 0 to 4 points.
Each area score runs from 0 to 100, and a higher score means stronger skills. Your overall score is the average of the five areas. Scores are read as Low (0 to 33), Medium (34 to 66), or High (67 to 100). These levels show how you answered. They do not compare you with other people.

What it cannot tell you
This test is for learning about yourself. It is not a diagnosis, and it cannot tell you whether a relationship is healthy or safe. Do not use it for legal, custody, or other decisions about anyone.
People tend to rate themselves kindly, and your partner may see things differently. If you are not in a relationship now, answer for your most recent one.
This version has not yet been tested with a large group of people, so we do not yet know how accurate it is.
