Marital Adjustment Test Scoring Key


Check the dot on the scale line which best describes the degree of happiness, everything
considered, of your present marriage. The middle point, "happy," represents the degree of
happiness which most people get from marriage, and the scale gradually ranges on one
side of those few who are very unhappy in marriage, and on the other, to those few who
experience extreme joy or felicity in marriage.
