        Premises - awareness of relationship basics will significantly improve your daily life. Most people are only vaguely aware of them, and endure significant relationship confusion and stress without knowing how to improve them. Lessons 1-4 in this online course show you how.

        Take this quiz before you start Lesson 4, when you finish it, and randomly after that. Choose an  undistracted place, and allow at least 45" to answer these items. Decide whether your true Self is taking this quiz or some other personality subselves are. If the latter, expect skewed results.

        Take your time here - answering superficially defeats the value of this quiz. Check an item as "true" only if you can confidently check all sub-items. If you're unsure, use "?" Options - answer these ques-tions out loud, and follow the links to check your answers. If you have kids, wonder how they would do with this quiz...
