Perfect Partners?

Think about your ideal partner and then answer Y(Yes) or N (No) to find out about yourself.

1. Would you prefer your partner to be quiet and sensible rather than loud and outgoing?

2. If a boyfriend/girlfriend said “I love you” on your first date, would you run a mile?

3. If your partner flirted with someone at a party, would you be upset?

4. Would you expect your partner to cheer you up if you felt depressed?

5. Would you refuse to go out with someone very popular and good-looking if you didn’t have the same interests?

6. If your boyfriend/girlfriend wanted to kiss you on your first date, would you refuse?

7. Would you be upset if you had a row with your partner?

8. If your partner told you that he/she didn’t like your friends, would you finish with him/her?

9. Would you prefer your partner to be your best friend rather than someone who you just like going out with?

10. If your partner told a lie about something unimportant, would you forgive them?

If you answered “Yes” more than 7 times:

You are very sensible about the people you choose to go out with. You are quite romantic but you like to get to know someone before you get serious about them. Sometimes you may be too serious.

If you answered “Yes” 5-7 times:

You are very sociable and friendly. You are emotional when you need to be out but you don’t let your feelings run away with you. However, you may sometimes do things you regret later on.

If you answered mostly “No”:

You are very sociable and you change partners quite frequently. You don’t take relationships very seriously. This may cause you problems in the future.

A Psychological Test “What Person I am”

Ask your friend the following questions. Check the answers according to the chosen variants and tell him/her what sort of person he/she is. Don’t be too serious about the conclusions.

1. If the people living next door to you bought a piano and began making a lot of noise late at night, would you:

A telephone them and complain;

B start making a lot of noise yourself;

C say nothing and start looking for another flat?

2. If a shopwoman overcharged you by some roubles and you noticed it, would you:

A complain to the shopmanager;

B say nothing but pay the bill;

C say nothing and stop going to the shop.

3. If you noticed that your friend didn’t buy his bus ticket and continued to travel ticketless without fearing the bus inspector, would you:

A tell your friend about his possible fine;

B buy a ticket for him;

C pretend not to notice anything.

4. If your friend lent some money from you promising to give it back very soon and didn’t do that, would you:

A remind him about his debt;

B stop lending him money;

C pretend not to remember his debt.

5. If you saw your neighbour’s small children beat somebody’s cat in your yard, would you:

A tell them not to do so;

B take away the poor animal from them;

C pretend to notice nothing.

Mostly A’s: The person is honest and straightforward. He/she might be popular or very unpopular and have some difficulties in making contacts with other people.

Mostly B’s: The person feels strongly about certain things but is worried what others might think of him/her.

Mostly C’s: The person is quiet, tries to hide emotions, and often may happen to be chicken-hearted, hesitating and slow in actions. It is very difficult for the person to form a lasting relationship with his class or workmates, because of his being not sociable enough.
