Kink Test: Uncover Your Secret Side in Relationships
The psychology of human attraction conceals many secrets. What we project to society during the day often differs radically from our true desires behind closed doors. Some crave ultimate romance and tenderness (vanilla), while others seek thrill, dominance, and intense experiences. This kink test is based on the psychology of intimate preferences and will help you look deep inside yourself without shame.
What you'll learn
A radar chart of your intimate profile across 5 key scales
Your dominance tendency: the drive to control the dynamics of the couple
Your submission tendency: willingness to trust your partner with control
Romanticism level: how important classic tenderness and emotional intimacy are to you
Role flexibility: ability to switch between leading and following positions
Openness to experimentation: how interested you are in exploring something new

About the methodology
The scientific study of intimate preferences and fetishes has a long history. The term 'fetishism' was first introduced by Alfred Binet in 1887. Richard von Krafft-Ebing systematized these phenomena in 'Psychopathia Sexualis' (1886).
Modern science has moved away from pathologization: DSM-5 (2013) distinguishes between paraphilia (atypical attraction) and paraphilic disorder (attraction causing distress). A study by Richters et al. (2008) on a sample of 19,307 people showed that individuals with non-traditional preferences demonstrate normal or elevated levels of psychological well-being.
Wismeijer and van Assen (2013) confirmed in a large-scale study that those practicing consensual role scenarios exhibit higher levels of subjective happiness and less neuroticism. Our test evaluates five key dimensions of intimate psychology: dominance, submission, classic romanticism, role flexibility, and openness to experimentation.
