This description comes from an earlier KinkType test. The current questionnaire summarizes your answers without assigning a profile. How the current summary works

Describe when you like to lead and when you like to follow.

Notice how your partner, mood, and trust affect what you want.

Explain your preferences without choosing one permanent role.

When do I enjoy leading, and when do I prefer following?

Does what I want change with different partners or moods?

How can we check what role each of us wants today?

Write down one situation where you like leading and one where you like following.

Notice what makes the difference: trust, mood, or the person you are with.

Tell a partner what you want today, even if it differs from last time.

What this means

You may enjoy choosing between leading and following rather than sticking to one role. Switch is a common word for this flexibility.

It does not mean you are indecisive or want every activity from both sides. You can have clear preferences within each role.

What this can look like

You might enjoy giving direction with one partner and following with another. With the same person, your preference might change from day to day.

Ask each other what you want before starting, rather than assuming last time's roles still fit.

What to do next

Think of one time you enjoyed leading and one time you enjoyed following. What was different?

Use those examples to describe what you want. You do not have to choose one role forever.
