Switch

A Switch enjoys both sides of a power dynamic, sometimes with the same partner, sometimes depending on who they are with. This is the most common pattern: in general-population research, interest in dominant and submissive roles tends to appear in the same people.

How the test scores Switch

There are no Switch questions. Your Switch score is worked out from your Dominant and Submissive scores, and it is high only when both are. Someone who scores 90% on one side and 10% on the other is not a Switch; someone at 70% and 65% clearly is.

Signs you might be a Switch

• What you want depends on who you are with, or on your mood.
• You enjoy leading and enjoy being led, and would miss either.
• You like the idea of trading places within one evening.

Talking about it

Say which side you are in the mood for instead of expecting a partner to read it. Two switches together need to check in more often, not less, because neither can assume.

Take the dom or sub test to see both scores.
