True Match Test Results

so i get this message from emode.com today... i guess they realize i'm a sucker for taking tests or they read my about page (#5) -- it's time to find out more about myself, my partner, and i suppose life in general.

sometimes these tests make me feel particularly transparent. the questions seem rather nonsensical and then boom the results hit pretty close to home. i've been tempted to flat out lie, but have a weird concern that it will give me the same results and call me a liar while it's at it. anyway, the test results again hit close to home.

i'm just going to cut and paste alot of the crap results here and will add my comments (if any) in green.

What defines your personality?
You're perceptive, kind and analytical. You don't like to think of things on just a surface level, and you can be unusually introspective. You can be a little self-critical at times, but you're a thoughtful, gentle spirit.

What will get you noticed?
One of the things women are likely to notice first about you is that you tend to be hyper-aware of what can happen in a given situation, and you prepare yourself for all the different outcomes.

Do women like your type?
4% love your type
25% like your type
62% ok with your type
9% don't like your type


What do women find most intriguing about you?
The research indicates that women are most drawn to your willingness to explore and take risks.
my willingness to take risks? and i wonder why i question these sort of tests?!?

What is your ideal partner's personality type?
Your ideal match is charming, good with people and handles stressful situations with grace. She's filled with a friendly, positive energy and secretly might wonder why she's not famous yet.
is there any other type? why didn't they just tack on beautiful and intelligent and be done with it.

How rare is this ideal woman?
Of the personality characteristics we measured, and relative to other women, your ideal match's most unique trait is that she is unusually dependable and confident.
so it's confirmed, i prefer unusual women.

Do opposites attract?
The quality that you share most strongly with your ideal partner is your tendency to seek out situations that induce a feeling of safety or calm, versus those that feel more adventurous and exhilarating. You're most compatible with someone who is extremely similar to you in terms of where you lie on the continuum between safety-seeking and risk-taking.

The difference between you and your ideal partner that stands out the most is your tendency toward being relaxed versus feeling vigilant. You want to find someone who is moderately different from you in terms of where you lie on the continuum between relaxed and vigilant.
