The RELATE test

After the lecture on Tuesday I really wanted to try out the RELATE test online. I got my boyfriend to agree, even though I'm not sure he really wanted to. He did it in Omaha (where he goes to school) and I did it in Lincoln (where I go to school). The test asked many questions about family, kindness, communication, and arguing, etc. The questions asked weren't difficult and the test lasted about 50 min. We got our results soon after, and they weren't exactly super happy. There was somethings wew didn't match up on, and I was surprised by the way he answered a few questions. We talked the results over for a long time. Although the results weren't perfect, really what relationship is? I think this was a positive experience to take the test. I also think it brought up many questions within our relationship that we haven't thought about before. Overall I enjoyed this and came out pretty good. I think doing this is a personal benefit and can help me relize that my boyfriend and I don't always see eye to eye on some issues and that we come from a different background. I will be telling my friends about this and giving them the name of the website. Also I think this will help me relate to family science even more :)
