Relationship Satisfaction Test
The Relationship Assessment Scale (RAS)
Best for: Measuring current relationship satisfaction and health.
What it is: Developed by Susan Hendrick (1988), the RAS is the most widely used, open-source 7-item scale to measure general relationship satisfaction.
How it works: The Relationship Assessment Scale (RAS) was designed specifically because older relationship tests had 100+ questions, which caused huge survey fatigue.
Researchers found that these 7 specific questions capture the vast majority of variance in a couple's happiness. The RAS is highly correlated with much longer tests (like the Dyadic Adjustment Scale) and is considered the gold standard for rapidly measuring general relationship satisfaction.
