The Relationship Drift Quick Check
Eight readings. One perspective. About five minutes.
Where does your relationship feel connected, and where might drift be beginning?
How this works: you'll respond to one statement for each of the eight bearings that shape a close relationship.
- Rate each statement from your own perspective, honestly rather than aspirationally.
- There is no single relationship score. Each bearing is viewed independently.
- At the end you'll see your eight Relationship Drift readings and your Relationship Drift Signature.
Eight bearings, viewed independently. This is a snapshot of your perspective, not an overall relationship grade.
Your Eight Bearings
Each score reflects your response to one statement. The Quick Check is designed to identify patterns, not provide a definitive assessment.

One Final Thought
Relationship drift is often gradual. A small gap noticed early is usually easier to navigate than a large distance noticed late.
The value of the Quick Check is not the score. It is noticing what may need your attention.
Michael J. Coleman
A brief reflection and self-awareness tool, not a clinical diagnosis or validated relationship measure. Results reflect one person's perspective and one statement per bearing. A fuller picture of a relationship requires more information and, where appropriate, both partners' perspectives.
