HISC Sexual Compatibility Test for Couples

HISC (Hudson Index of Sexual Compatibility) is a scientific 25-item psychometric test developed by Dr. David Hurlbert in 1991. It measures the overall level of sexual compatibility between partners, assessing desire alignment, satisfaction, communication, and preference matching.

HISC demonstrates high psychometric reliability: Cronbach's alpha coefficient is 0.90, and test-retest reliability r = 0.90 over a 2-week interval. The test has been scientifically validated and used in clinical practice for over 30 years.

The test takes 5-8 minutes to complete. It contains 25 statements, each rated on a five-point frequency scale: from "None of the time" to "All of the time".

The test is filled out by one partner, evaluating their feelings in the relationship. For a more complete picture, both partners are recommended to take the test separately and compare results. This helps identify areas of divergence and growth points.

HISC assesses 7 key factors: desire alignment, preference matching, sexual communication, intimacy satisfaction, boundaries and pressure, emotional connection, and frequency harmony.

The result is expressed as an overall compatibility score. A low score (up to 33%) indicates significant discrepancies and the need to work on the relationship. Medium (34-66%) indicates both strengths and areas for improvement. High (67-100%) indicates good sexual compatibility.
