A description of selected experiences, not an identity
Read the specific statements, their context and missing information. Five separate readings remain open without assigning an orientation or type.
Three numeric ratings required; raw sum / 3. Agreement with the statements, not an attraction count, probability or population rank.
Agreement with recurring experiences
This part asks whether romantic attraction toward a particular person recurred, returned after an initial moment and appeared at different points during the past twelve months. A higher mean records stronger agreement with those three descriptions. It is not a count of crushes, a measured frequency or a place on an aromantic spectrum. Answer from what you experienced as romantic attraction, rather than from whether you dated, wanted companionship or thought you ought to want a relationship.
A feeling returning during an ordinary week
Imagine a romantic feeling toward someone returning while you are occupied with an ordinary week. That is different from simply enjoying the idea of being in a relationship or liking a romantic story. The example does not decide what your feeling was; you supply your own understanding. The prompts also do not ask whether the feeling was returned, whether you acted on it or whether the person was available. None of those circumstances is required to report an experience of attraction.
A lower mean is not a chosen identity
Disagreeing with recurring-attraction statements may fit a year with little or no romantic attraction. It may also reflect how you understood recurrence or the particular period you considered. The mean does not distinguish every possibility, assign an aromantic identity or certify that you are strongly romantic. Care, friendship, commitment and a satisfying life are not measured by these statements. Only you choose whether any identity language is useful, and a questionnaire number is not a requirement for using or declining a word.
Recurrence does not reveal its whole pattern
A recurring feeling could concern one person or different people, and this form does not collect their identities or a number of attractions. Two people can give similar ratings while having very different experiences of duration, intensity and opportunity. The past twelve months also leave out earlier life and do not predict the next year. If you cannot identify a relevant experience or do not want to rate it, an unscored response preserves that uncertainty instead of turning it into a low value.
Romantic and sexual readings remain separate
The bond-before-attraction part asks about the order of emotional closeness and romantic attraction. It cannot be inferred from this recurrence mean. The three sexual-attraction parts concern a different kind of experience and do not complete or correct the romantic reading. Different patterns across the two are possible. The separate Mini 20-item reflection asks about noticing, describing, labels and privacy; being comfortable describing a feeling is not evidence that the feeling occurred often or followed a particular pattern.
An optional private reminder of the period
If useful, think of one ordinary point in the selected year and whether a romantic feeling was present, absent or unclear to you then. There is no need to record a person’s name, disclose the memory or search for another example to make the result look consistent. You do not need to date, seek a crush or test yourself through a relationship. You may keep every answer unscored, read a guide and finish without choosing an identity or taking another assessment.
Three agreement ratings, with missing information retained
Use 1 Strongly Disagree, 2 Disagree, 3 Neutral, 4 Agree or 5 Strongly Agree. Three is a numeric neutral answer, not uncertainty or missing experience. Each part needs all three numeric ratings; its raw sum divided by three is displayed to one decimal. Ratings of one, two and four give seven divided by three, displayed as 2.3. Any unscored response withholds that part’s mean without zero, midpoint substitution or inference. All fifteen prompts need a response choice to finish, including unscored choices. No total, rank or dominant part is calculated.
An original reflection, not a standard orientation scale
These fifteen bilingual statements and five guides are original FermatMind content, without psychometric validation or population norms. AUREA and AVEN community resources inform the background distinction between romantic attraction, sexual attraction, identity, behaviour and arousal; their pages do not supply this bank or a scoring key. This is not an administration of Kinsey, Klein or another published instrument. Identity language remains your choice. Answers stay in current page memory, without saved drafts, quiz-flow statistics or personal-result sharing. Public guides remain available even when every part is unscored.
