Took the test over lunch—finished in ~4 minutes. The results put me in “moderate desire for control” and explained how that plays out at work vs. at home. Two simple tips (delegate one task, confirm expectations) were on point.
I liked the immediate breakdown of when my control need spikes (tight deadlines, unclear roles). The suggestions—set decision windows, define “good enough”—were practical and easy to try this week.
Gentle tone without judgment. It helped me see how “helpful” micromanaging shows up with my partner. The reframe and a tiny habit (ask before advising) felt realistic.
