The five couples questions.
Each question is written from your side: you answer for yourself, and your partner guesses what you chose. The questions cover a snack, a gesture, a disagreement, a trip and good news.
- Which snack would I reach for first?Something sweet · or · Something salty
- Which thoughtful gesture lands better for me?A surprise · or · Something planned together
- In a disagreement, what is more my style?Talk it through now · or · Cool off first
- How would I rather take a trip?Planned in detail · or · Spontaneous as we go
- After I share good news, what feels best?A warm message · or · A lively celebration
How the deck works.
- You answer the five. Pick one side of each question, the way you would actually choose.
- You send one private link. Your partner opens it, no account needed. How the link holds your answers.
- They predict, then see the reveal. One point per exact prediction, then your actual picks.
- They can swap roles. After the reveal, they can answer the same five and send their own link back.
What the research note covers.
These questions are a game, not a measurement. For the evidence on how well people predict each other, read How well do couples know each other’s preferences?. The note looks at a study of partners predicting each other’s food preferences, which preferences were easier to predict, and why a miss is not compatibility evidence.
