* The questions used in this inventory, and the method of scoring employed, were originally based upon information published by PREP Inc.

	Caution! Your score falls into a range where some caution is in order. There are indications of patterns emerging in your relationship that would be wise to address and resolve before they become deeply rooted.

Recommendations: A wide range of resources (e.g., books, courses, coaching, counselling etc.) could be of considerable benefit if initiated soon. The Relationship First Aid program is one of a number of options that might provide exactly what your relationship needs. Click here to find out more about it.

	Danger! Your score falls into a range that indicates the presence of patterns that could put your relationship in harm's way--if it is not already there.

Recommendations: Some concerted action, such as a relationship assessment (to pin point the problem spots in your relationship), or relationship counselling (to address and resolve the known problem spots in your relationship), should be undertaken promptly. The Relationship First Aid program may also be of some help, especially if a formal relationship assessment and/or focused relationship counselling are not available.
