FAQ — Dating Red Flags Quiz

About this test.

Is this quiz a substitute for actual dating safety training?
No. This is a self-awareness check. For real safety education, see resources from the National Domestic Violence Hotline, Lundy Bancroft's writing on coercive control, or local organizations like Refuge (UK), Safe Horizon (US), and equivalents.
What if I scored Too Trusting? Should I be worried?
Not worried — but worth taking seriously. Too-Trusting tier isn't a personality flaw, it's calibration. Most people can shift to Learning or Sharp within a few months of intentional attention. The shift saves a lot of pain.
Can I be 'too sharp' as a dater?
Yes. Pro-tier sometimes over-reads ordinary human mess as warning signs and rules out people who'd actually be fine. The healthiest position is Sharp — radar on, calibrated, but not paranoid.
Are red flags universal?
Some are very close to universal — coercive control, surveillance behavior, escalating intensity. Others are context-dependent. The quiz focuses on the well-documented patterns that matter across most relationship contexts.
