About This Quiz

You’ve been in a few relationships. Some felt like a spark, others fizzled fast and maybe a few just never should’ve started. You’ve caught yourself wondering: Are my standards too high? Too low? Do I even have a type, or am I just repeating old patterns? If these thoughts have crossed your mind, you're not alone. Many people enter relationships without a clear idea of what they expect or accept—and end up feeling confused, disappointed, or stuck.

That’s exactly where the Relationship Standards Test comes in. This quiz is designed to help you take a closer look at your current expectations no matter if you're exploring the men standards test, navigating women standards test challenges, or questioning the balance in your male and female standards test. By answering just a few thoughtful questions, you'll gain clarity on your dating benchmarks, understand whether you're setting realistic goals, and spot the red flags you may have overlooked.

Disclaimer: This test is for self-awareness purposes only. It is not a substitute for professional advice. Always consult a licensed counselor or therapist for relationship-related decisions.
