Methodology
Between Us is an original educational relationship-reflection assessment. An MD-created educational relationship profile for individuals and couples. Its 42 statements are deliberately interleaved so the experience feels like one coherent conversation rather than three visible tests.
One clear response format
Each screen presents one statement and five choices ranging from Very unlikely to Very likely. Respondents answer according to what they usually do—especially when a close relationship is under stress—rather than what sounds ideal. The middle option is available when neither side fits clearly.
Fourteen deterministic dimensions
The scoring engine measures fourteen tendencies across personality, communication, and relationship patterns. Each dimension uses three separately keyed items, including one reverse-keyed item. Answers are scored by fixed rules and converted to a 0–100 display value for the graphs. These values are not percentiles, percentages of a trait, grades, or measures of relationship health.
How JUICE connects
Between Us stands on its own as an original assessment. The Communication section is informed by concepts developed for the forthcoming JUICE book series. JUICE is an educational communication book series, not a separate score or clinical instrument.
AI has a limited role
AI interprets the completed, machine-scored profile and writes accessible narrative guidance. It cannot change scores, generate graph values, invent new test results, diagnose, or determine whether a couple is compatible.
Still an assessment in development
The item wording and response distributions should be reviewed with pilot data and qualified measurement expertise. Between Us is not presented as a validated psychometric instrument or a population-normed comparison.
Important limitation
The MD credential describes the creator’s professional background; it does not make Between Us medical care or a clinical assessment. Between Us is based on self-reported responses and is not a psychological diagnosis, couples therapy, mental-health treatment, or a validated prediction of relationship success.
