## Abstract

A lateral flow assay format test that accepts a saliva sample that is reacted with a conjugate to indicate the level of testosterone present in the saliva sample. The concentration of testosterone is used to determine the likelihood of the saliva donors commitment to an interpersonal relationship.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A human relationship commitment test comprised of:
a lateral flow assay test integrated into a test body;
the test body is adapted to accept a male only saliva sample;
the test body has adhered to a test area a testosterone reactive conjugate;
the test body has a control visual indicator that when reacted with the saliva sample proves visually that the testosterone reactive conjugate is reacting effectively with testosterone in the saliva sample;
the test body has a test visual indicator that when reacted with the saliva sample visually indicates the concentration of testosterone in the saliva sample by varying intensity of the test visual indicator;
if the intensity of the test visual indicator is at or below a predetermined threshold then human relationship commitment is visually determined to not be in a pursuit mode and if the intensity of the test visual indicator is above the predetermined threshold then the relationship commitment is determined lacking.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

A human relationship commitment test as in claim 1 further characterized in that an electronic sensor is paired with the test body that optically determines an intensity of the test visual indicator relative to an intensity of the control visual indicator then calculates and displays in a human readable format a quantified concentration of testosterone in the saliva sample.
