0 · PrivateOpenly close · 100

Low scores (under 40): Private

You tend to keep your inner world close and work things out on your own first. That gives people a steady, unintrusive presence, though partners may sometimes wish you would let them in sooner.

Balanced scores (40 to 60)

You move between openness and privacy depending on the person and the moment. You can share when it counts and hold back when it does not, which keeps you flexible across many kinds of relationships.

High scores (over 60): Openly close

You find it natural to share feelings and lean on people you trust. That builds warmth quickly, though it can overwhelm friends who need more room to open up at their own pace.

This is a short self-report about everyday relationship habits. It captures rough tendencies, not fixed traits, and your habits can shift with the person, the season of life and the stakes. Different people may bring out different sides of you, so treat the result as a starting point for conversation, not a label. These are everyday habits, not attachment styles or a relationship diagnosis.
