Should You Get Back With Your Ex? — No Contact Test: what it measures and how to interpret your score

After a breakup, the question 'can I get my ex back?' is one of the most frequent and most painful. This 30-question test does not give you a binary answer, but helps you objectively analyze four essential dimensions: your deep motivations (why do you really want to go back?), the actual quality of your former relationship (beyond nostalgia), your current emotional state (are you in a position to make a good decision?) and the signals observed from your ex. The results will offer you a clear-eyed view of your situation to make the healthiest decision for yourself.

In the article that follows, I explore getting back with an ex. If you recognise yourself in this theme, I designed a getting your ex back test that helps you take stock of whether a reunion makes sense for you. It comes with a guide to extend your reflection beyond the results. Worth knowing: I also offer ScanMyLove, a tool that analyses couple conversations from a simple export, to better understand a relationship's dynamic.

What the test measures

• Analysis of your real reasons for wanting to go back: genuine love, fear of loneliness, habit, or need for validation.
• Objective evaluation of what your relationship actually offered: mutual respect, communication, fulfillment, or dysfunctions.
• Your ability to make a clear-headed decision: are you guided by reason or overwhelmed by emotion?
• Evaluation of perceived signs from your ex-partner: openness to dialogue, distance, ambiguity, or definitive closure.

How to interpret your score

Your result reads as an intensity, not a diagnosis:

• Relatively favorable situation : The overall analysis suggests relatively healthy foundations: authentic motivations, quality former relationship, emotional stability, and signals that are not unfavorable. Reconciliation could be considered if both parties wish it.
• Uncertain situation : Some elements are encouraging but others call for caution. The situation deserves time and reflection before any action.
• Unfavorable situation : Several factors indicate that reconciliation would be difficult and/or not advisable at this time: motivations to clarify, problematic relationship, fragile emotional state, or unfavorable signals from your ex.
• Very unfavorable situation : The overall analysis indicates that trying to get your ex back is not recommended at this time. Your emotional state, motivations, and/or signals from your ex all point to the need to let go.

What your full report includes

Beyond the 5 questions, the detailed PDF report (from €2.99) includes:

• Introduction : This report analyzes your post-breakup situation across four essential dimensions. The goal is not to give you a binary answer, but to offer you a clear-eyed view to make the healthiest decision for yourself.
• Global Score : Your global score reflects the degree of favorability of a reconciliation attempt. A low score indicates a more favorable situation; a high score suggests it is better to focus on your own healing.
• Dimension Analysis : Each dimension sheds light on a different aspect of your situation. The detailed analysis helps you understand which factors work in your favor and which call for caution.
• Recommendations : Four steps of the No Contact + informed reconquest protocol: (1) Strict No Contact 30-90 days — zero message, zero social media, zero intermediary. This period is not manipulation, it is a neurochemical necessity to regulate attachment systems. (2) Honest introspective work — what caused the relationship to fail? What is your share of responsibility? What schemas did you activate (Young)? Recommended reading: « Attached » by Amir Levine. (3) Personal reconstruction — invest in yourself (sports, projects, friendships, therapy if deep schemas). The goal is not to « make the other jealous » but to become an attractive person internally again. (4) Lucid evaluation before any return — can the relationship truly start again on a better basis? Or do you seek the return to soothe your pain? If you decide to write: short message, no pressure, no excessive nostalgia. If the relationship was toxic (manipulation, violence, gaslighting), returning is dangerous — a domestic violence helpline in your country (find one at findahelpline.com) can help you clarify.
• Resources : The « no contact » process and breakup psychology are documented in affective neuroscience and clinical psychology. Reference work: Helen Fisher (anthropologist, neuroimaging of love and breakup), Arthur Aron (intimacy and passion), Bowlby (attachment and loss), William Bridges (« Transitions »), David Sbarra (breakup and health). Neurological studies: Fisher 2010 (post-breakup brain activation mimics addiction), Eisenberger 2011 (rejection pain activates the same zones as physical pain). Books: « Getting Past Your Breakup » (Susan Elliot), « It's Called a Breakup Because It's Broken » (Greg Behrendt), « Attached » (Amir Levine on attachment styles). No Contact concept: 30-90 day minimum period without any contact to allow neurochemical regulation (dopamine, oxytocin, serotonin) and introspection.

The full personalised report (your precise score, your profile per dimension, your recommendations) is paid.
