What is a yellow flag in dating?
A yellow flag is a small dating or relationship behaviour worth noticing or discussing, but it is not automatically a dealbreaker. This free 16-question quiz finds which context-dependent habit may make someone pause; it is for entertainment and reflection, not a diagnosis.
How it’s scored
The Yellow Flag Test has 16 statements, two for each of eight equally weighted dating behaviours. Answers run from 0 to 3. Each dimension is normalized to 0–100; their mean is the Yellow Index. The highest dimension selects the archetype, with ties resolved by the fixed dimension order below. The score is deterministic entertainment, not a clinical assessment.

Yellow flags in dating, explained
What this test measures
Sixteen concrete situations look at eight dating habits: reading into small changes, getting ahead of the pace, inconsistent signals, automatic yeses, avoided topics, slow emotional openness, blurred boundaries and echoes of past dating. The result names a tendency; it does not define your personality.
Yellow flag vs red flag vs beige flag
A yellow flag deserves attention or a conversation, but is not automatically a dealbreaker. A red flag is a serious or repeated behaviour that undermines trust or respect. Safety concerns sit outside this playful spectrum. A beige flag is a harmless quirk.
One sharp reply on a hard day might be yellow; a repeated pattern that cannot be discussed may be red. Narrating every errand is more beige.
Compare all four flagsExamples of yellow flags in a relationship
- Reading a lot into a small change in texting tone.
- Wanting to speed things up before talking about pace.
- Agreeing to a plan before checking whether you want to go.
- Putting off a small, uncomfortable conversation.
Context and what happens next matter: a yellow flag is not a verdict. Fear, threats, violence, coercion, stalking, control or isolation are safety concerns, never a playful quiz result. Safety resources

Questions people ask
See all questionsWhat is a yellow flag in dating?
A yellow flag is a dating or relationship behaviour worth noticing or discussing, but it is not automatically a dealbreaker. Context, repetition and how someone responds to a calm conversation matter.
What is the difference between a yellow flag and a red flag?
A yellow flag is a behaviour to notice while you learn more; a red flag points to a concerning pattern that affects trust, respect or safety. Repetition and the response when it is raised help distinguish them.
What is the difference between a yellow flag and a beige flag?
A yellow flag may create relationship friction and can be worth discussing. A beige flag is a harmless quirk that says little about how the relationship works.
Are yellow flags always bad?
No. They are context-dependent habits or situations to notice, not automatic proof that something is wrong. A conversation may clarify what is happening.
Is Wabiro free?
Yes. Every experience gives you a complete result for free, without an account: your score, profile, stats or verdict, and a card to share. Some experiences also offer an optional one-time unlock for a deeper report — it is always labelled with its price, shown only after your free result, and never a subscription.
Do I need to create an account or give my e-mail?
No. Nothing is asked before your result — no e-mail, no card, no sign-up. An optional account (magic link, no password) only exists to recover a purchase on another device and, if you want, to keep your Wabiro ID summaries across devices.
Where do my answers go?
Nowhere, by default. Questionnaire answers stay in your browser and results are calculated there; imported chats are analysed on your device and never uploaded. If you create a share link or buy an unlock, we store a short summary (a score, a profile or a few aggregate numbers) — never your individual answers or messages, and never in analytics.
Is this a psychological or clinical test?
No. Wabiro is a self-reflection and entertainment tool built on documented rules. It is not a clinical assessment, a therapy service or a professional relationship diagnosis, and it never labels anyone toxic, narcissistic or abusive. If you are worried about your mental health or your safety, talk to a professional.

Dating red flags: what to look at on the first dates
Early dating red flags are less about big behaviours and more about small consistencies: how they treat people who cannot push back, whether the pace respects yours, whether what they say on Tuesday still holds on Saturday, and how they react the first time you say no. Nervousness, slow replies and not defining things yet are not red flags.

Green flags in a relationship: what they actually look like
A green flag is a repeated behaviour that builds trust and safety: apologising without a "but", respecting a limit the first time, staying consistent in private and in public, and coming back to repair after a fight.
What's My Yellow Flag?
Not a dealbreaker. Just that little habit someone might bring up on the walk home.
Wabiro tests are entertainment and self-reflection, not clinical assessments, therapy or professional advice.
