Talk Score

Six questions about the last seven days only. It names what broke — listening, tone, phones, needs, or follow-through — and gives one sentence to say tonight.

Built on the speaker-listener rule (one person talks, the other repeats the need before answering) and on timeout after flooding: when the body is too loud, you pause with a clock time and return. Last seven days only. Not a personality test.

Think only of the last seven days. If you did not do the thing, choose Never. This is speaker-listener plus a timeout with a clock — not a personality test.

My partner repeated my need before answering — at least once this week.

Listening

I repeated their need before I defended myself — at least once.

Listening

When one of us got flooded — hot face, fast heart, could not hear — we paused with a clock time and came back.

Tone

Phones were in another room for one talk that was not logistics.

Phones

I named one need as a behavior I could photograph, not as a personality upgrade.

Needs

We ended one hard talk with a next step that actually happened.
