Your score = 46
What does your score mean?

The results of the test you just took suggest that you have a lot to learn when it comes to constructive conflict resolution. This does not mean that you are solely responsible for the destructive nature of your arguments with your partner, but your ineffective strategies are certainly playing a part.

Even though I don't have a partner, I took this test anyway.

Your score = 55


Arguing Score 55

The results of this test indicate that you still have a lot to learn when it comes to effective, fair "fighting".

The results of this test indicate that you are not a bad "fighter", but you still have a lot to learn when it comes to your arguing approach.


Funny thing, as different partners cause
different situations. My wife and I pretty
much NEVER argued. We'd disagree here
and there, but 'twould be calm and rational.
Probably pretty close to their perfect ideal,
except for keeping some things hidden.

But, with my psycho ex, 'twas constant
arguing. We were honest as hell, and
let everything out. But, we fought nasty,
and it tended to get violent.

Kinda averaged the two, with more
emphasis on the relationship with my
wife.

The Arguing Style Test: Results

We all wish for the ideal relationship - one in which our partner anticipates all our desires, fulfills all our needs (before we even realize we have them), showers us with attention yet gives us just enough space, shares the same values, knows exactly what to say to make us feel good and is (of course) good-looking, charming, and kind. We might wish for it, but it would be unreasonable to expect that such a person exists! Besides, after a while, being with such a perfect individual could get pretty darn annoying, making our little flaws seem huge in comparison.

Your score = 73

What does your score mean?

The results of this test indicate that you've got a reasonably healthy approach to arguing. For the most part, you argue constructively with respect for your partner and an understanding of his/her point of view. There is still a little bit of room for improvement, though.
