About me

When you look for something about relationships online, you usually land on one of two things. Articles written like school textbooks. Or lists of generic advice that could apply to anyone, and therefore to no one.

Quiz Couple came out of that frustration. I did not want one more site about couples. I wanted something honest and concrete, that speaks to people as they are and not as some theory says they should be.

How Quiz Couple started

My name is Thomas, I have been in a relationship for 4 years, and I built this site on my own. Not a team, not an agency: one person, one computer, and a lot of evenings.

It started from a simple observation: almost every couple test online is an empty shell. Twenty questions, a random percentage, and a text written to flatter so it gets shared. I wanted tests that sometimes say uncomfortable things, because that is where they become useful.

So I started building them. Each test starts from one precise question, its questions are written one by one, and its scoring is designed so the result cannot contradict itself. Some took me weeks.

That is what Quiz Couple is: quizzes, tests and games to help couples get to know each other better, laugh together and share new moments.

What I do, and what I do not do

What I do

I design couple tests and games, and I write about relationships. I take the time to understand a subject before writing about it. I reread, I cut, I start again.

What I do not do

Diagnoses, moral judgements, lists of "how to find the perfect man in 30 days". I am not a therapist and I do not play one.

The tests I build are not there to "reveal your personality in 5 questions", that kind of content is hollow. They are there to trigger a thought, put words on something you feel vaguely, or create a starting point for a conversation between two people.

If someone is going through something genuinely hard, a painful break-up or a relationship that hurts, I say plainly that talking to a professional is the best thing to do. That is not boilerplate.

Site creator · Test design and writing

I design the tests, write the questions, code the site and write the articles. When you read something here, I wrote it.

I have no psychology degree and I do not claim one. What I have is time spent reading on the subject, curiosity about how relationships work, and an obsession with never claiming anything I cannot back up.

"A couple test that only says pleasant things is useless. Mine has to be able to tell you something is wrong, otherwise it is not worth the time you give it."

Before a test goes live, I have real couples around me play it. That is how I catch badly worded questions, results that land wrong, and the moments where a test contradicts itself.

What I watch most closely

That a result never flatters for the sake of flattering. That a high score does not hide a problem the test picked up. And that you always understand why you got this result rather than another.

How I work

1
Played before it ships
Every test is played by real couples before going live. Ambiguous questions and results that ring false show up immediately.
2
Time
A subject like anxious attachment or power dynamics in a couple takes time to understand and to find the right angle.
3
Nothing I cannot back up
No figure without a source, no experience I have not had, no promise a test cannot keep. When I do not know, I write that.

I would rather publish less often and publish well.

If you are on Quiz Couple, relationships interest you, yours or the general mechanics of it all. Glad you are here. And if a test or an article helped you put words on something, that is exactly why I do this.
