Relationship Satisfaction Test

How can you discern your level of satisfaction with your current romantic relationships? Scholars identify a plethora of factors influencing this. For instance, communication with your partner and a secure attachment style, sexual satisfaction and commitment, as well as compatibility of personal traits and interests, play a substantial role in overall relationship satisfaction.

Many studies position the absence of negative evaluation of relationships as a satisfaction factor. It is logical to assume that this is not the optimal way to measure how individuals perceive their romantic relationships. After all, full satisfaction implies more than just the absence of negative evaluation.

This test is based on the "Positive and negative semantic dimensions of relationship satisfaction" research and employs a two-dimensional measurement – scales of positive and negative tendencies. The test is fairly straightforward but serves as a reliable tool for a preliminary assessment.

It's crucial to note that your satisfaction with your partner may change over time, hence it's recommended to take this test periodically.
