Are You Twin Flames?
Find out if you and your love interest are really twin flames with this quick 15-question quiz.
You've likely found your twin flame.
We'll never say for certain that you've definitely found your twin flame, but based on your responses, it definitely seems like you and your love interest have a deep and powerful connection. Remember that these relationships are meant to teach you lessons, not necessarily last forever. Enjoy the connection you two share, allow it to transform you on a deep level, but be sure not to lose yourself along the way.
This might be your twin flame—but it might not.
Based on your responses, you show some signs that the two of you could be twin flames, but other responses indicate this person might not be your twin flame after all. Either way, if the relationship seems healthy and you two are happy, keep doing what you're doing.
Doesn't seem like it.
Based on your responses, it doesn't appear you and your love interest are showing the typical signs of twin flames. That doesn't mean you can't be together, though! Soul connections don't have to be twin flames, and you don't have to be twin flames to enjoy a happy relationship together.
What was it like when you two first met?
How much do you two have in common?
How are you two different?
Has this person changed your relationship with yourself?
Does this relationship push you to grow?
Do you feel a physical pull towards this person?
Is the relationship emotionally turbulent?
Do you feel like you knew this person in a past life?
Have you broken up only to get back together?
Do the two of you have a psychic or empathic connection?
How is your physical intimacy?
Does this relationship have a certain push-pull dynamic?
Have deep, core wounds surfaced in this relationship?
Does this relationship feel divine or otherwise "out-of-this-world?"
Last question: Do you believe this person is your twin flame?
What is a twin flame?
As a refresher, a "twin flame" is believed to be an intense soul connection with another person, with the idea being that one soul was split between two bodies. This results in the two people finding a "mirror soul" in the other and spurs an incredibly intense relationship (which is usually romantic but not always).
Twin flame relationships are known to be both challenging and healing and even sometimes toxic. This is because a twin flame will show you your deepest insecurities, fears, and shadows—but also help you overcome them. In some cases, twin flames can help each other grow and heal together, but at other times, twin flames are not always meant to stay together forever and rather facilitate growth during that period in your lives.
As licensed psychotherapist Babita Spinelli previously told mbg, the biggest thing to watch out for in a twin flame dynamic is toxicity and putting up with egregious behavior simply because you think this person is your twin flame. The "turbulent" reputation of twin flame relationships can also make it easy to mistake a toxic relationship as a twin flame one (ak a false twin flame), so that's something to be mindful of. (We've also got a toxic relationship quiz to help you suss out whether this is the case.)
"Twin flames are generally described as two individuals who very intensely connect, usually as romantic partners, because of a shared pain," Spinelli explains, adding, "There is a misnomer that a twin flame completes you—in reality, relationships are meant to encourage you to be more complete in your own right."

There are a number of signs and stages of a twin flame relationship that will indicate whether you've really found your twin flame. Generally speaking, there tends to be a seemingly instant connection or recognition when you meet them—like you've known them before.
From there, the relationship will likely take off quickly, and you'll feel magnetic toward each other, sharing a deep, inexplicable bond that pushes you to be better, grow, and ultimately, heal. But it's definitely not all smooth sailing. Personal transformation is, after all, not the easiest work—and this relationship may show you all your worst insecurities at center stage.
If the two of you can get through the challenging portion of this dynamic, it is possible to be happy together in the end. Though often, there can be many breakups (and getting back together) in these relationships, and twin flames are not always meant to be together forever.
The name of the game with twin flames is soul progression, so the main thing to look for is whether this relationship seems to be almost forcing growth out of you. Here are some more telltale signs of twin flames to watch out for:
- There was an instant recognition and connection when you two met.
- You share similar values and history, and your differences complement each other.
- The relationship feels like a mirror into your soul.
- You push each other to grow and evolve.
- The relationship is emotionally intense and even turbulent.
- You're moving through (or have already moved through) the stages of a twin flame relationship.
- You have a practically psychic connection.
- The connection feels divine.
- You've been known to break up and get back together.
- There's a push-pull dynamic.
- The relationship facilitates immense soul transformation.

The takeaway.
Twin flame relationships are said to be anything but a walk in the park, but you can be sure that if you have really found your twin flame, you will be better off for it. Whether you stay together or not, these relationships have a way of teaching us the hard-earned lessons, and transforming who we are on a soul level.
