Switch, explained

Does Switch mean taking turns?

Switch includes preferences for leading and entrusting. The name does not set a rota. Name one decision you want to lead. Then name one you would like to entrust to your partner.

Leading comes with responsibility. Entrusting the lead keeps your right to refuse intact. Having both preferences does not let either person decide for the other.

How do you make your preference clear?

“Either is fine” leaves a lot to guess. Use a specific situation instead. Say which part you want to decide and which part you would like your partner to handle.

Ask your partner to explain what they heard. Clear up any gap before making plans. If they do not want to change roles, respect that limit. A result is no reason to push.

What should you agree first?

Start with the scope and who takes responsibility. Say which decisions need both of you to agree. Set a clear way to pause or stop before you need it.

Consent must be informed and freely given by both people. Either person can withdraw it. Silence and hesitation are not agreement. Check what you both want when the situation changes.

Where can the report help?

The report puts your tendencies side by side. Pick one difference you want to discuss. Explain your expectations, then check how your partner understands them. Individual answers are not shown to your partner.

A report can open the conversation. It cannot settle who leads or who entrusts the lead. Sharing a result does not mean agreeing to an arrangement.

What do the three types mean?

Dom describes a preference to lead and take responsibility. Sub describes a preference to entrust the lead to someone you trust. The right to say no stays yours. Switch describes preferences on both sides. Changing roles depends on what both of you want and agree to.

Is one type better than another?

Types are not a ranking. Dom, Sub, and Switch describe tendencies. Clear communication, boundaries, and informed consent from both people matter more than a label.

Can my partner see each answer?

The system does not show your individual answers to your partner. The pair report shows your respective Dom and Sub values, each dimension side by side, and how many guesses about each other were right.

How accurate is the test?

Your type comes from your answers this time. The test is for self-reflection and fun. It does not replace professional advice or give a final verdict about you.
