Scoring My Relationship Report Card
Looking to obtain your relationship score? You’re in the right place. Let’s get right to it.
Thank you for taking the Relationship Report Card evaluation. That means you are serious about your relationship and you’re better off than half the people in a relationship. You either A.) want to improve your relationship or B.) prevent your relationship from going bad. Now for what you’ve been waiting for, let’s calculate your score.
Calculate your score.
You have answered 25 questions, 5 questions in 5 areas.
Each question will receive points based on the responses you provided:
Would Like More = 0
Good/Okay = 1
More Than Expected = 2
Give yourself 1 point for each question you marked “Good/Okay”, 2 points for “More Than Expected” and no points for “Would Like More”.
Add all the points together and write your Relationship Score at the bottom of your relationship report card.
What does your score mean?
We can only anticipate what your next question will be… What does this score mean?
First, let us give you the boundaries: Max Score is 50 and Minimum Score is 0. No one usually scores a perfect 50. Remember this report is designed to measure how you’re doing, reveal the areas that could use work and show you what’s really working in your relationship.
Here is a generalized gauge to help you with your overall relationship performance:
A score of 0-12: says there is potential to improve your relationship within any of the five areas. Most people would envy your score in this regard because you can simply choose one area and improve it. You have no place to go but up.
A score of 13-37: says you’re okay and the higher you are in the range, you’re doing really good. In this range, you have plenty of potential to make your relationship all you want it to be, but at the same time you must be careful not to allow any of the areas that received a score between 13-20 to decrease.
A score of 38-50: says you’re exceeding your significant other’s expectations. This is a great place to be, but it doesn’t say you can’t improve. In fact, it says just the opposite. As every relationship grows and familiarity sets in, we must keep doing the things that got us this very good score. Nonetheless, taking the report card regularly is the way to make sure you maintain and achieve the results you desire in your relationship.
A better way to view your score.
If you can take just a little more evaluating, I need to tell you about a better way to look at your score. If I were you, I wouldn’t place as much value in the overall score as I would in scoring each of the five sections. Give each section their own score and dig in deeper to what’s going well versus what you’d like to see more of in your relationship.
Here’s how the scoring for each section would work:
A score of 0-2: says there is potential to improve your relationship within any of the five areas. Most people would envy your score in this regard because you can simple choose one area of your choice and improve it. You have no place to go but up.
A score of 3-7: says you’re okay and the higher you are in the range, you’re doing really good. In this range, you have plenty of potential to make your relationship all you want it to be, but at the same time you must be careful not to allow any of the areas that received a score between 13-20 to decrease.
A score of 8-10: says you’re exceeding your significant other’s expectations. This is a great place to be, but it doesn’t say you can’t improve. In fact, it says just the opposite. As every relationship grows and familiarity sets in, we must keep doing the things that got us this very good score. Nonetheless, taking the report card regularly is the way to make sure you maintain and achieve the results you desire in your relationship.
By looking closely at each section, you can focus in on the questions that most interest you and use them as the target for more of your attention with your significant other.
Now that I have my score, what’s next?
Do something with the results…
Now that you have a score, it’s not time to give up on the relationship or feel bad about its results, but instead you should be fueled to take action. The Relationship Report Card will give you exactly what’s needed to help improve your relationship or rather what you can assist your partner with improving for your benefit.
Take The Relationship Report Card again…
You need to take it again. Yes, take it again, but not today. Take the evaluation with regularity but at least once or twice a year.
