The XY ConneXion™ Test: Communication

I'd like to invite you to try our introductory XY ConneXion Test. They’re different because they let you know whether your loved ones need as much Interaction as you do, or whether you’re pushing them away.

Is it just me, or have these unprecedented times forced you too, to interact more, or less than you’re used to? What if how MUCH we communicate is more important than HOW we communicate at this time?

X Types have a higher need to connect in specific ways
Y Types have a lower need

Please answer the questions below as they relate to your current relationship (or your previous relationship if not currently in one).

At the end of this test you will be offered a link to take the next XY ConneXion Test: The Test of XY Intimacy. You can also share each test result with friends along with a link so they can take the XY tests as well. Your individual responses will not be shared with your friends.

You believe conversations should serve a function or specific purpose such as to share facts or information.

You do not believe receiving a call, text message, or email from your partner is necessary during your workday and wouldn’t care for the interruption.

Sometimes when your partner is just asking a question, you’re not sure whether he or she expects you to respond each time.

You are enjoying a solo activity, and you are in deep concentration when your partner walks in and wants to talk. How do you react? You typically do not, immediately stop what you’re doing, to engage in conversation with your partner.

At the end of the day, you’re likely to ask your partner how his or her day went.

If your parent or close relative developed a serious illness, you believe it would be OK if your partner wanted to be told only the basics.

Instead of long sentences, your texts tend to be short: a few words or abbreviations (like "K" instead of "Okay").

When explaining yourself, you prefer to be lengthy rather than brief to be sure you're understood.

You believe that a difference in the need for communication is a problem in your relationship.
