01
Explore what you prioritise when planning together
A shared plan involves what people want, who will do what and what can change. Notice which part you emphasise and check what the other person needs too.
The other person's view
Notice what your own priority may leave for later.
A clearer agreement
Choose a suggestion for a real plan together.
02
Three parts of a shared agreement
These preferences do not rate relationship quality. Each can be useful, and both people may want more than one part of the plan made clear.
Align expectations
Clarify what each person wants from the shared plan.
Agree responsibilities
Agree on tasks, timing and what each person takes on.
Leave room to adjust
Keep realistic options for a change of preference or circumstances.
How your shared planning profile is calculated
Each of 12 choices adds two points to one preference. Percentages show your selections rather than how successful your plans are.
- 1We count your choices for each of the three approaches.
- 2The highest total selects your main profile; another positive score can provide a secondary approach.
- 3Tied scores stay tied in the bars. A fixed order selects the heading when needed.
Think of ordinary plans with someone close
- Think of plans with a partner, relative or friend.
- Choose what matters most to you in each situation.
- Consider ordinary activities rather than major life decisions.
FAQ
Questions about planning together
This original BrainApps questionnaire compares three preferences in everyday shared planning. Use your profile to make one agreement clearer with a partner, relative or friend.
Is this a relationship compatibility test?+
No. It shows your selected planning preferences, not whether two people are compatible or how well a relationship works.
Do I need to be in a couple?+
No. You can think of a close friend or relative you make everyday plans with.
Does leaving room to adjust mean making no commitment?+
Here it means agreeing what can change and how to tell each other. A flexible option can still have a clear time or responsibility.
What if our preferences differ?+
Compare one concrete plan rather than label each other. Discuss expectations, responsibilities and what can change until both understand the agreement.
