Color Key
The following colors correlate with the 4 main sections in The RINGS Experience (our main program for strengthening couple relationships) and 3 Relationship satisfaction, realism and intrusion categories.
- Knowing who you are - Strengths and growth edges; Commitment; Personalities; Family trees
- Mastering communication skills - Asserting and listening; Transparency; Connecting daily
- Dealing with real life - Stress; Anger; Forgiveness; Conflict
- Moving forward together - Managing finances; Leaving a legacy
- Relationship Satisfaction - General positive feelings about overall relationship
- Relationship Realism - Absence of agreeing with absolute and unrealistic statements
- Relationship Intruders - Absence of issues with addictions, affairs, abuse, mental illness
Categories Explanation
- Maximum scores for any category will be 20.
- For all categories, the higher the scores, the better. Excellent = 19, 20; Above average = 17, 18; Average = 15, 16; Below average = 13, 14; Poor = 12 and below
- Relationship realism refers to how realistic your responses are, drawing upon 4 embedded statements that are intentionally absolute and unrealistic like "My partner and I always understand each other completely." Even the healthiest of relationships will experience occasional "speed bumps". Agreeing with any of these 4 statements will have a slight lowering effect on your overall score. The higher the score, the better.
- Relationship intruders is a negative category, so it is reverse scored. It tests for the presence of or concerns with 4 intruders: addictions, affairs, abuse, and mental health issues. The higher the score, the better.
