Test Your Partnership Harmony

This is a quiz which is designed to test your partnership harmony. The questions are intended to focus on what agreements you and your partner have in various bidding and defending situations, rather than raw judgement ability. Please enter you and your partner's details below, and answer the 50 questions. Your partner will then be emailed a link which will direct him/her to answer the 50 questions aswell. When they have submitted them, the answers will be compared and you'll both receive an email with your final score.

If important, assume IMPs scoring and that both sides are non-vulnerable throughout. This site won't keep any record of your answers or email addresses.
