From dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), the Dime Game is a valuable skill that can help decide how strongly to ask for something, or how strongly to say no to something. It works by first asking questions in 10 different categories: Capability, Priorities, Self-respect, Rights, Authority, Relationship, Goals, Give and take, Homework, and Timing. Each Yes/No answer, or dime, is then counted and an answer provided based on the resulting total.
