    How the exercise works

    1. 01

      Reflect privately

      Answer the prompts on your own. Separate what happened from what you assumed.

    2. 02

      Exchange perspectives

      If you both agree, share what you each noticed and needed. Listen before concluding.

    3. 03

      Try one change

      Choose one behavior to try and a date to check whether it helped.

    Every question is optional. Your answers stay on this page only—nothing is saved or sent. Refreshing or leaving the page clears them. Please avoid names and confidential or identifying details.

    Describe actions or words, not motives. Avoid names and confidential details.

    2. What did you need in that moment?

    Treat this as a hypothesis, not a fact.

    Examples: circulate context before a meeting, pause before responding, or agree who owns the next decision.

    Nothing is scheduled or sent—this is just for your plan.

    Questions

    Is signup required?
    No. The whole exercise and your plan work without an account, email or payment.
    Is this a personality test?
    No. It is a short reflection worksheet. It does not score, classify or diagnose anyone.
    Do both people need to participate?
    No. You can complete it alone. Whether to share it with your colleague, and how much, is entirely your choice.
    What happens to my answers?
    They stay in this page session only. Nothing is saved to an account, stored in your browser or sent to EQIQs. Refreshing or leaving the page clears them.
    Can the exercise tell whether we are compatible?
    No. It gives no compatibility verdict, score or prediction—only a plan built from your own words.
    Can it be used for employment decisions?
    No. It must not be used for hiring, screening, firing, promotion or pay decisions.
