What is SAMRUM?
A personality test for the whole family – and a tool for understanding each other better. Everyone takes an age-adapted test and gets a free profile. From there, you can buy reports about the relationships that matter.
Start alone, invite later
You can start alone and see your personality profile for free. When you're ready, invite your partner or teenager. Start with a couple report or a parent-child report – you don't have to wait for the whole family.
Reports tailored to the relationship
A family report focuses on the dynamic in the whole family. A couple report goes deeper into the relationship. A parent-child report is adapted to the child's age. Each report is its own tool – they don't overlap.
Between 'we're fine' and therapy
Some people find it hard to see themselves in therapy – it can feel like a big step to sit in front of a third party. SAMRUM is for that in-between space. It gives you language for things you might not have language for, and helps you have the conversation yourselves. Not instead of therapy – but before, or alongside.
No hidden costs
It's free to sign up, free to take tests, and free to compare profiles. Reports are one-time purchases. No subscription, no commitment, no surprises.
When is it relevant?
When you talk past each other
You say the same things but hear something different. The tone escalates, and afterwards nobody quite knows what it was about. The report shows what happens between you – and gives you words for it.
When therapy feels like a big step
Maybe it's not bad enough for therapy. Or maybe it's just not your thing. SAMRUM gives you a starting point – something concrete to talk from, without having to open up in front of a stranger.
When you just want to check in
It doesn't have to be hard to be useful. Many use it as a check-up – to see if there's something they haven't noticed, or just to learn more about each other.
How it works
Create your family
Start by creating a family and adding members. You set name and role (adult, teenager, or child) for each person.
- Only adults can invite new members
- Children don't need their own email address
- People can be part of multiple families (e.g. with shared custody)
- Define relationships between family members
Take age-adapted tests
Children from age 6 get short questions with simple language. Teenagers and adults get more and more nuanced questions.
- Adults: 80 questions
- Teenagers: 60 questions
- Children (around 6–12): 50 questions with simple language
- The test can be taken at your own pace – with breaks
Get your profile – buy relationship reports
When the test is done, you get your free personality profile. To understand the dynamics between you, you can buy one or more reports.
- Personality profile: included free with the test
- Individual report: visible to the person themselves
- Relationship reports: visible to adults in the family but can be shared with teens
- No subscription – one-time purchase per report
Read the report together
The report shows where you click, where you clash, and gives concrete suggestions for things to try.
- What works well between you
- Where you typically misunderstand each other
- Conflict patterns
- Concrete suggestions to try in everyday life
- Things to watch out for

Good to know
Answers are private
No one can see your raw test answers. Reports only show patterns between people, never individual answers.
Focus on patterns
Reports describe dynamics between you – how you react to each other and where you can adjust.
Valid here and now
Reports describe patterns based on your answers right now. They're not fixed truths, and you can always take the test again later.
Not therapy
SAMRUM doesn't replace professional help. For serious challenges, we recommend seeking professional support.
Frequently asked questions
Yes. You can stop and continue later. Your answers are saved automatically.
Start with those who are ready. You can always invite more later. Even two people's data gives a useful picture.
The test measures 10 family themes – such as need for structure, emotional reactivity, social energy and repair after conflict. These are personality traits, not behavioural assessments.
AI is used to write the report based on your test data. It doesn't invent anything – it translates your scores into language you can use. The AI has no access to other families' data.
Yes. You can start with a couple report or a parent-child report. Not everyone needs to take the test at the same time – or at all.
The profile is your individual personality – it's free. The report describes patterns between two or more people and costs a one-time fee.
Yes. All of SAMRUM works in the browser on phone, tablet and computer. There's no app to download.
