| | Who You Are
You're adored, and for good reasons
You're a very loving and outgoing person. You care deeply about the people in your life, your work, hobbies and the causes you fight for. You have an artistic side that can come out in painting, writing, or through relaxing activities like reading or watching movies. You're ready and able to experience a powerful "spark" with someone special. Your biggest challenge may be finding time to connect given your busy (and often frantic) life.
What's dating all about to you?
Falling in love is a spiritual experience for you. A truly loving relationship helps bring meaning to your life. You try hard to make your date feel comfortable and have a good time. You're good at anticipating what other people need and giving it to them. But inside, you're usually on an emotional roller coaster. You don't want to reject nice men, but also take it very personally if you're the one rejected.
Although your compassion for men is a very attractive quality, your focus on him can get in the way of getting what you want and need. It's crucial to find a way to "go with the flow" in dating as you already do in other parts of your life.
Here's how you compare with other women your age
How unique is your type?
Your personality profile is similar to a number of women your age. Looking at over 10,000 women who have taken the test, about 10% (or 1 in 10 women) have very similar beliefs, values, and habits. Of course, the way these qualities are expressed in you is what makes you so unique.
How many other women have personalities like you?
Quirks men notice
Like all women, you have your strengths as well as your quirks and shortcomings. Ultimately, you want to find someone who will love and accept you "warts and all." Though you have lots of friends, it's important to have at least one person in your life who understands.
- You have a pretty even-tempered personality and may not have any especially annoying or quirky habits. Of course, seeming to be "perfect" could be seen as a flaw by some, in which case you may just want to pretend to have a bad habit!
Do men like your type?
Notice that 40% of men are generally attracted to your personality type. 9% say they are VERY attracted. With the millions of people on Match.com, that translates into lots of potential matches.

Who You're Looking For
He'll be an enigma
You're looking for a "real" man, who's down-to-earth and easygoing. He'll love to work with his hands and be able to fix almost anything. Though he can be very charming and outgoing at times, he also has a very quiet and private side. He may be hard to get to know, especially emotionally. When he expresses his feelings, it's more likely through his actions and practical support than through words. He's free-spirited and will be hard to pin down for plans, but once together you're guaranteed to have fun and really enjoy the moment.
You don't expect your partner to be in a good mood all the time. You understand that sometimes your partner will be down, get pessimistic or worry too much. These days are balanced by the many good days the two of you will share. In fact, you share a number of positive qualities, including:
- No strong similarities were detected, which suggests that you may be more attracted to certain "opposite qualities." Please read the next sections to see if you may be seeking someone with different or opposite qualities to balance your own habits and style.
Here's how you compare to your "ideal" partner
Number of men your type
Men with the exact type of personality you prefer are rare gems. Looking at over 10,000 men who have taken this test, only 3% (or 1 in 33 men) have the exact combination of similarities and contrasts in personality you find extremely appealing.
However, there's a larger group, 27% (or 1 in 4 men), who have most, but not all, of the qualities and habits you like. These subgroups are charted below.
Approximately two-fifths of the men have at least some of the traits you find attractive.
But you'd have a negative reaction to 7% (or 1 in 14 men), who have some or many of the characteristics you clearly dislike.
How many men are your "ideal" type?
Finding someone like you
You want to share your life with someone who has the same values, goals, and style you have. Research has shown that couples who have more in common tend to stay together longer. The qualities you find attractive (and unattractive) in men suggest you would certainly be happier with a man who's more like you.
- No very strong opposites were detected, which suggests that you are most attracted to men who are very similar to you. This is good news since similar couples tend to stay together longer.
Quirks you can tolerate
The truth is that everyone is potentially "high maintenance." We all have our quirks and shortcomings. The key to long-term harmony is finding a man who can tolerate (or maybe even enjoy) your "quirks," or the little personal oddities that make you unique. You seem okay with several common quirks that might come along with your "ideal" man:
- You described a pretty balanced person as most attractive to you, so no strong quirks were noted. Watch out for quirks during dating, since they may indicate a strong quality that is hidden at first.
Downside of your "ideal"
In addition to his quirks, your "ideal" personality type may have other qualities that are more frustrating or challenging to deal with. Under stress, his quirks can become serious "flaws." But remember, these quirks are the "flip side of the coin," or the extreme end of qualities you otherwise find appealing. So, be prepared if:
- Because you're most attracted to men with balanced personalities, no troubling differences were noted. Nevertheless, remember that too much similarity can lead to conflict as well, especially when problems call for very different perspectives or actions.
Deal breakers
You seem ready to adapt to the good and frustrating qualities of the men you're looking for, but there are types of men you clearly do NOT like. Men's habits and attitudes you'd have a hard time putting up with include:
- Men who have a strong need to make their plans ahead of time and stick to them.
Trade-offs you'll face
| Good Qualities |
Challenging Qualities |
| Tries to balance spending time with a few close friends and going out with a big group of friends. |
Given the demands of family, friends, and activities, it's hard to find time alone together. |
| Uses "common sense" to make practical decisions. |
Can lack imagination and stick to traditional solutions even if you suggest newer and better options to explore. |
| Can step back and look objectively at a problem, which can be helpful to you in any crisis. |
Almost impossible to turn off analysis and thinking about what's happening. |
| Not afraid to make tough decisions and move ahead. |
Jumps too quickly to make decisions, because waiting is so hard to do. |
Sex
Romantic sex
Good sex is important to you, but it's only one of many ways you connect emotionally with your partner. Whether it's sexual or simply an affectionate touch, you give and receive pleasure easily.
Among women your age, your particular combination of sexual drive and interests is similar to about 1 in 10 women (10%).
Is he sexually compatible?
You're looking for someone just like you, who values the quality of sex over the quantity. You want someone who would never pressure you about sex.
What's ahead for you sexually?
A good sexual match plays a key role in your "ideal" relationship. Your profile points to a very promising sex life with your future partner. If you can bring your natural creativity and imagination to the bedroom, your sex life will never be boring. You know what it's like to emotionally connect with someone and truly make love (vs. just having sex). It will be hard (or impossible) to settle for anything less. Someone as loving and sensual as you should hold out for a man who shares your passions.
How you and your "ideal" partner compare
Attraction Science
What is personality?
Personality is the set of traits and characteristics that make each of us unique yet relatively stable and consistent over time.
- People see and interpret the world differently.
- They want different things.
- They make decisions differently.
- They get excited and energized by different situations.
- They structure their careers, social life, and private time in different ways.
What does personality have to do with attraction?
The way in which people are similar or different in personality strongly affects their attraction to one another. Two people with similar values are more likely to become (and stay) friends or a couple, indeed part of compatibility is having "common ground." However, for many people, compatibility may also involve a balance between each other's quirks and differences.
Where did the test come from?
The test you just took is the most scientifically grounded and customized personality assessment on the Internet. It's a "smart" test because it can tailor specific questions to you based on your earlier choices so no one gets exactly the same questions. The content of the tests and the game-like way the choices were presented are the result of over 15 years of research by the scientists at weAttract.com, Inc.
The test is quite true.. haha.. almost everythings are correct.. hahahaha |
