Relational Intelligence measures the invisible compatibility patterns that shape decision-making, hiring, and culture.
Visible Reactions
EQ
Emotional intelligence (EQ) helps you manage visible reactions and build rapport. But it can’t explain why two emotionally intelligent people hear the same conversation and reach opposite conclusions.
That gap isn’t emotional. It’s structural.

RQ
Everyone carries assumptions about what counts as relevant, true, and valuable. Those assumptions decide what people notice, trust, and ignore - long before anyone speaks.
RQ reveals these decision assumptions.
When that particular someone starts talking, you think, “What planet are they on?”
Everything they’re saying feels unrelated to the conversation. Then someone else responds like they just heard the smartest insight in the room.
This isn’t about empathy, intelligence, or effort. It’s incompatible decision assumptions colliding in the same room.
Who it is for
Executives
Build a decision-making process around your leadership team’s actual combination of types - then use it in the rooms where strategy becomes execution.
People Leaders
Surface where compatibility is natural and friction is predictable - before conflict becomes churn.
Investors
Evaluate cofounder compatibility, validate key hires, and see whether culture can carry the strategy.
We were doing well on paper, but culture issues were about to put us out of business. We mapped decision compatibility across the team, and the endless conflict is over - we can finally get back to work.
The diagnostic system
No demographic information is collected, so results stay consistently bias-free.
01

Identifies the decision-making style of an individual. Some people have 2.
18 Relationality Types
02
The decision system of a team or organization.
Identifies the operating system and behavioral signals shaping your culture.
9 Culture Types
03
The cultures that shaped how you decide.
Separates what is innate from what was learned, then assesses fit with new cultures.
Bias-free by design
Knowing you made the right executive hire. One major conflict resolved. One strategic decision made faster. For many organizations, that’s enough to pay for the investment many times over.
