Communication Balance Test for Couples: Who Speaks, Who Listens?
63 questions·10 min·5 dimensions and a separate readiness-to-change module·up to 14 clinical frameworks·5 report sections
Reviewed by Gildas Garrec, CBT practitioner
Good morning,
This test is taken as a pair: each of you answers separately, without seeing the other's answers. It covers four aspects of communication within the couple: how speaking time is shared, listening and the sense of being understood, how disagreements are worked through, and the subjects that have gone quiet. The report brings the two accounts side by side and sets out the gap between them.
What you receive — a report written from your answers: what stands out, what sustains it, and where to start. This week, this month, later on.
How it is built — each axis is analyzed on its own, then cross-read with the others, through clinical reading frameworks. Your detailed answers are attached as an appendix.
The test runs over 63 questions and takes about 10 min, for a price of $3.60.
We'd also suggest reading the book Saving Your Relationship, to take this reflection further. It's included in the price and downloadable.
If you have a question about your report, write to us at contact@psychologieetserenite.com: a psychotherapist will reply within 48 hours.
I'd also suggest analysing your conversation with ScanMyLove; it's a complementary tool that, from your exchanges as partners, sheds light on your relationship dynamics.

QUICK ANSWER
Communication Balance Test for Couples: Who Speaks, Who Listens? — a 63-question self-assessment, about 10 min. This test is taken as a pair and covers four aspects of communication within the couple. The report sets out the gap between the two accounts. Once finished, you receive a detailed PDF report ($3.60): an interpretation of its 5 dimensions, a radar chart, up to 14 clinical reading frameworks and a personalized action plan. It is designed to help you know yourself better.
This test is taken as a pair, each of you answering separately on the same questions. A couple's communication rests less on the number of words than on how speaking time is shared, on listening that receives, on how a disagreement is worked through, and on what is never raised. The report brings the two accounts side by side and sets out the gap between them.

The report brings the two accounts side by side and sets out the gap between them.
The questionnaire explores 5 areas: Your reading of this imbalance in your exchanges, Speaking equity, Reciprocal listening, Handling disagreements, Unspoken things. Your answers support reflection, not a diagnosis. A separate module explores readiness to change; it is not another trait of the model presented.
