Methodology

Between Us is an original educational relationship-reflection assessment. Its 30 questions are deliberately interleaved so respondents experience one consistent assessment rather than visible conceptual sections.

A consistent forced-choice format

Every question presents four statements. The respondent chooses one that is MOST like them and a different statement that is LEAST like them. This format creates an ipsative profile: it shows relative emphasis within one person’s response pattern rather than comparing that person with a population.

Twelve deterministic dimensions

The scoring engine measures twelve tendencies involving relationship balance, natural communication, and conflict-and-connection patterns. MOST adds one point to the mapped dimension and LEAST subtracts one. Each raw score converts directly to a 0–100 visualization value. These values are not percentiles, percentages of a trait, or measures of relationship health.

AI has a limited role

AI interprets the completed, machine-scored profile and writes accessible narrative guidance. It cannot change scores, generate radar values, invent new test results, diagnose, or determine whether a couple is compatible.

Important limitation

Between Us is an educational relationship-reflection tool based on self-reported responses. It is not a psychological diagnosis, couples therapy, mental-health treatment, or a validated prediction of relationship success. Its purpose is to help people understand and discuss patterns in how they relate, communicate, and respond to stress.
