Breakup Probability Test | Assess Your Emotional Stability from a Relationship Power Perspective

I. What Is the 'Risk of Being Dumped'?

In intimate relationships, 'being dumped' is not simply a matter of luck, but a signal of an imbalanced power structure within the relationship. This test is designed based on social psychology'sInterdependence TheoryandSocial Exchange Theory.

These two theories hold that the survival of a relationship depends on both partners' comparison of 'rewards' and 'costs' and their evaluation of 'alternative partners'. If the returns you perceive in the relationship are lower than what you put in, or you believe leaving it would give you a better quality of life, then the stability of the relationship will decline.

II. The Theoretical Basis and Assessment Dimensions of This Test

We referred to Caryl Rusbult'sInvestment Model, which points out that commitment is supported by three core pillars:

• Satisfaction Level: Is your level of happiness with the current relationship higher than your expected value?
• Quality of Alternatives: Do you think 'being single' or 'switching to someone else' would be better?
• Investment Size: How much unrecoverable resource have you invested in emotion, time, and money?

In addition, we also introducedAttachment Theory's anxiety and avoidance dimensions, because insecure attachment is often an invisible force leading to relationship breakdown.

III. Test Structure and Question Design

This test has 18 questions in total and covers the following four key dimensions, aiming to comprehensively scan the 'vulnerable points' in your relationship:

• Emotional Investment and Sunk Cost: examines whether you over-give without getting anything back, or lack the motivation to grow together.
• Relationship Satisfaction and Comparison Level: examines your acceptance of the status quo and whether you often fantasize about 'a better choice'.
• Conflict Handling and Communication Pattern: examines whether you solve problems constructively when facing disagreements, or fall into the silent treatment or attack.
• Attachment Security and Independence: examines whether your sense of self-worth is over-dependent on the other person, and whether you have the ability to be alone.

IV. Who Is This Test For?

This test is not only to predict 'whether you will be dumped', but more to let you see clearly your position in the relationship:

• People who are in a relationship but feel vaguely uneasy about its future
• People who have been through multiple breakups and want to explore the deeper reasons behind them
• People who want to improve their ability to manage intimate relationships and enhance relationship resilience
• People who want to objectively assess their 'irreplaceability' in this relationship

V. Scoring Method and Result Interpretation

Each question is scored 1–5, and the higher the score, the lower the risk in that dimension (or the higher the sense of security). Based on your weighted total score across the four dimensions, the system classifies you into one of four different 'relationship defense levels', and provides specific improvement advice for your weak points.
