Why compatibility is about overlap, not sameness

Perfect compatibility doesn't mean agreeing on everything — it means knowing where you naturally align and being able to talk about the rest. The yes / no / maybe format shows you your real overlap without pressure. You answer privately. Nothing is judged.

The "maybe" answers are often the most valuable. They signal openness — areas where you're curious and willing to explore. That's where the best conversations start.

Frequently asked questions

What does this test measure?

How does the format work?

Each partner answers independently. You choose yes, no, or maybe for each question. Afterward you only see questions where you both answered yes or maybe — no answers stay completely private.
