What it measures
Intimacy is the intrinsic lens on the Intimate World: your capacity to value closeness with a partner as intrinsically meaningful — not the acts, but the being-with. It governs vulnerability: whether another person's nearness registers as nourishment or exposure.
When it's clear
Clear Intimacy allows the whole sequence: wanting closeness, receiving it, staying in it without staging an exit. You can be known — including the unflattering parts — without the reflex to perform, withdraw, or manage the other's perception of you.
When it's blocked
Blocked Intimacy doesn't look like avoiding people — it looks like avoiding being reached. Relationships that stay warm but shallow, sabotage at exactly the moment closeness deepens, attraction that only survives at distance. The pattern is precise: the nearer someone gets, the louder the alarm.
How it shows up in daily life
Picking a fight the week everything was finally good. Feeling inexplicably lonely inside a long relationship. Wanting to be understood while editing out the parts that would make it possible. Blocked intimacy is the dimension where longing and defense fire at the same time.
What unblocks it
Intimacy rebuilds through tolerated exposure — letting one person see one true thing and staying. The report shows whether this world was even measured in your assessment; the full version covers it.
