Polyamory Tendency Self-Assessment | Exploring your loyalty tendency and risk in intimate relationships

I. What Is 'Polyamory Tendency'?

'Polyamory Tendency' does not refer to whether a person 'cheats', but is a relatively stable personality and motivational trait: at the psychological level, whether one is more easily attracted to multiple people, whether one tends to maintain multiple emotional connections at the same time, and whether one finds it hard to gain long-term satisfaction in a single relationship.

It is influenced by two core factors:

  • Novelty Seeking: The innate degree of desire for new stimulation and new experiences
  • Attachment Style and Relationship Commitment: In an intimate relationship, whether one seeks security, or seeks autonomy and variety

II. Theoretical Basis of This Test

This test mainly references the following psychological theories and research models:

  • Cloninger's temperament and character theory: Regards 'novelty seeking' as one of the four core temperaments; high scorers get bored more easily and are more easily attracted by novelty.
  • Bowlby's attachment theory: Anxious attachment is more likely to relieve insecurity through 'polyamory'; avoidant attachment, in turn, more strongly resists deep bonding.
  • Sociosexual Orientation Inventory (SOI): Measures an individual's degree of openness in sexual behavior, emotional investment, and commitment.

III. The Four Major Assessment Dimensions of This Test

This test has 16 questions in total, assessing your polyamory tendency from four dimensions:

  • Craving for Novelty: Whether you are easily attracted to 'new people', and whether you get bored easily with long-term relationships.
  • Emotional Exclusivity: Whether you believe that 'loving one person' necessarily excludes others.
  • Impulse and Sense of Boundaries: When facing temptation, whether you can restrain yourself, and whether you easily cross relationship boundaries.
  • Willingness to Commit: Whether you are willing to invest long-term effort and sacrifice in a relationship.

IV. Purpose and Target Audience of the Test

This test is suitable for adults who want to understand their behavior patterns in intimate relationships, especially:

  • People in a relationship or marriage who doubt their own loyalty
  • People who often feel 'relationship burnout' and are easily attracted to others
  • People who want to understand why they find it hard to enter a long-term stable relationship
  • People interested in relationship diversity and non-traditional intimate relationships

V. Scoring Method

Each question is scored 1-5, from 'very inconsistent' to 'very consistent'. The system will comprehensively determine your polyamory tendency type based on your scores across the four dimensions and give relationship advice.
