About Closer Code

How 30 questions and three relationship dimensions connect to eight Closer Codes, and what these results can and cannot tell you.

Explore how you build closeness

Closer Code is a relationship preference assessment operated by You&Ella Co., Ltd. It helps you reflect on how you initiate relationships, feel close to someone and decide to trust them, rather than ranking how sociable you are.

Instead of describing your entire personality with one label, it separates three questions: who starts the connection, what kind of time builds closeness, and what makes a relationship feel established. You may behave differently with friends, romantic partners and people you meet online.

How 30 answers become a code

The first 20 questions ask you to choose one of five responses based on your actual behavior over the past year. The final 10 present relationship situations with a choice of responses. Unanswered questions are not filled with a midpoint: all 30 answers are required.

Each choice maps to a defined internal value. Some questions are reverse-scored, and each of the three dimensions combines 10 questions. A dimension average of 50 or more produces digit 1; below 50 produces digit 2. The three digits are joined in order. Display rounding does not decide the code.

111 combines initiating, dialogue and rapid resonance; 222 combines responding, shared experience and earned trust. The digits are not ranks. No combination guarantees a better relationship.

What the result means—and its limits

Your result summarizes the current preferences reflected in your answers. You can initiate contact while taking time to trust, or wait for an invitation while feeling close quickly when conversation resonates. Reading the dimensions separately makes these differences visible.

This is not a clinical diagnostic test, a mental health assessment, a measure of your whole personality or a compatibility prediction. We do not present diagnostic accuracy based on published clinical validation or population norms. A code cannot establish another person's feelings or consent.

Guides you can use beyond the assessment

All eight public type guides can be read without taking the test. Each covers first approaches, signs of opening up, ways to build trust and example messages for repairing misunderstandings. Compare the friendship, romance, online and conflict contexts with your own experience.

The examples are not rules for everyone. Choose one that fits and one that does not, then recall a real situation for each. Treat the result as a starting point for conversation rather than a final classification of a person.
