The Assessment Experience

Here's what to expect as you get ready to take and then unpack your assessment.

After you register, the Obenchains will email a link and a unique couple's code for the assessment. You can take the assessment on a computer, a tablet, or even your smart phone. You'll take the assessment separately without comment or shoulder surfing from your partner (This is key to getting accurate results!). You'll need 30-60 minutes each to complete the assessment. Then, after you both have submitted your assessments, the Obenchains will contact you to schedule your first 1-hour session.

 

Because the SYMBIS assessment was scientifically designed and can be confusing to 'unpack' by yourselves, The Obenchains have been trained to help couples go through and understand their assessment reports. They will work with you over three sessions to help you start talking about specific parts of your relationship. You'll receive a full copy of your assessment report after your final session with the Obenchains. 

 

If you live in Colorado Springs, Colorado, the Obenchains are happy to meet with you face-to-face. Otherwise, you will use a video chat tool (Zoom) to hold your discussions. This option works great for couples that are separated for whatever reason and can't attend together. Assessment meetings are typically held on weekday  afternoons or evenings. If other arrangements are needed, the Obenchains will be happy to find a time that works for you.
