There are many personality theories and concepts that can help you understand your own personality and your partners. Couple Checkup uses SCOPE to help individuals see how high or low they score on each of the five factors of personality (Social, Change, Organised, Pleasing and Emotionally calm).
With SCOPE, it is possible to score high on all five factors (or low), and it isn’t negative to be high or low on a particular factor. You may want to consider seeking professional help if a particular factor is so extreme it is interfering with daily life. While your personality frames how you approach life, for some couples, having very different personalities can bring challenges.
We encourage couples to embrace each other’s personalities and continue to build relationship skills.
Discussion:
How do you and your partner’s personalities complement each other?
How do you and your partner’s personalities challenge each other?
Which of your partner’s personality traits first attracted you?
Were you attracted to the same trait or a different one?
If you and your partner ever feel overwhelmed by your results or the ensuing discussion, we encourage you to seek out professional support. Call us.
Consider taking an assessment or working through our Discussion Guide for Couples... that's a great place start! Tune in for more tips next week.
Do you need help with an issue or problem? Our approach helps to generate deep and productive conversations that couples would not otherwise have about their relationship. These conversations can restore insight and understanding about one another.

Personality is simply understood as the set of characteristics that lead to consistent patterns of feeling, thinking and behaving. It is one of those things in life that can't change and it tends to stay stable over time.
Some might argue you can change aspects of your personality, or your partner’s, if you try hard enough. However, this is largely a misconception. What you can do is begin to understand your own personality as well as your partner’s.
Your personality frames how you approach life. For some couples, having very different personalities can bring challenges.
For discussion:
How have you or your partner tried to change aspects of each other’s (or your own) personality in the past?
What was the motivation behind trying to encourage change?
If you and your partner ever feel overwhelmed by your results or the ensuing discussion, we encourage you to seek out professional support. Call us.
