What's your red flag?

Do you dream of the perfect partner? But what exactly does this mean for you? After all, everyone has their own ideas about the key aspects of a happy relationship and what can lead to its destruction.

A red flag is unacceptable behavior or special character traits that you simply cannot tolerate in a partner. They are what make a long-term union unbearable. This can be infidelity, financial dependence, physical abuse, commitment issues, and many other behavior patterns. Understanding your own requirements for a partner will help you establish effective communication and harmonious relationships, and will also allow you to recognize warning signs in a timely manner and not waste time on unpromising relationships.

Relationship psychology experts identify many "red flags," but most of them fall into one of 10 categories: different expectations and priorities, commitment issues, physical or emotional abuse, fixation on past relationships, social and financial status, jealousy, lack of passion, overly controlling behavior, neediness and immaturity, and narcissism and lack of empathy.

This test will help you determine which priorities and "red flags" from these 10 categories are most important to you. You may even discover new demands on your partner that previously caused you subconscious dissatisfaction. The test consists of 42 questions describing specific situations. Your task is to imagine how you would feel in such a situation, or reflect on your past experiences.

The test is designed to help you better understand your values and expectations from your partner and, perhaps, even re-evaluate them. Red flags do not necessarily mean you have to end your relationship with a potential partner, especially if you are actively working together to improve these aspects of the relationship.
