NORI

Are You Direct or Cautious in Love?

The boundary between a proposal you initiate and a decision you share

A small expression of interest and making a relationship public affect different parts of life. Explore what you want to initiate and which decisions carry a responsibility to be shared.

WHAT THIS TEST EXPLORES

WHAT THIS TEST EXPLORES

Having feelings for someone and taking charge of a choice affecting both lives are not the same thing. Responses around interest, public acknowledgement and important decisions invite reflection on the scope of your proposals and where the other person's participation is needed. The focus is not contact frequency but what you consider yours to initiate and where you seek shared agreement. Direct or cautious labels interpret responses; neither grants authority to decide for another person.

  • The scope of a proposal you initiate
  • Participation needed for a shared decision
  • Initiative versus deciding unilaterally
