Are lit members predictable?

Here we go :)

You're a man who celebrates life
You're a down-to-earth and easygoing guy. You refuse to settle long-term for a boring job or doing something just because it's expected of you. Life should be "balanced" with plenty of time for fun, spontaneity, and relaxation! You try to avoid scheduling every minute of your day and instead prefer a more informal and "go with the flow" approach. You enjoy spending time with friends and can be the "life of the party" sometimes. But you also have a private side and can be a little hard to get to know, especially emotionally. When you express your feelings, it's more likely through your actions and practical support than through words.
That part is very close to me.


What's dating all about to you?
Finding a loving relationship is an ongoing journey for you. You try to learn from each date and new experience and move on. Falling in love comes naturally to you. It doesn't have to make sense. You're ready to "go with the flow" and see where it leads.
Can't argue here either.

How unique is your type?
Your personality profile is similar to a number of men your age. Looking at over 10,000 men who have taken the test, about 5% (or about 1 in 20 men) have very similar beliefs, values, and habits. Of course, the way these qualities are expressed in you is what makes you so unique.
Umm ok,, so I am not too far out there

Quirks women notice
Like all men, 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 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!
I snore like a chainsaw and smoke cigars once in a while, so I guess I have a bad habit.

Do women like your type?
Notice that 55% of women are generally attracted to your personality type. 1% say they are VERY attracted. With the millions of people on Match.com, that translates into lots of potential matches.
Wow,, where is that 1% hiding?

She'll be an enigma
You're looking for a woman who's smart, insightful, and willing to fight for what she believes in. She thinks and feels things deeply. For example, she cares about community, social and environmental issues, and brings good ideas for how to make things better. She's shy and a little hard to get to know. But it's worth the effort! Alone together, she'll be more likely to talk about her dreams for the future and what matters most to her. Together you can find a very deep and lasting intellectual and emotional connection.
Hmmmm and kinky

Number of women your type
Women with the exact type of personality you prefer are rare gems. Looking at over 10,000 women who have taken this test, only 16% (or 1 in 6 women) have the exact combination of similarities and contrasts in personality you find extremely appealing.
Yeah so rare I haven't found them.

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 woman 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" woman:
yep,, that works for me :)

Downside of your "ideal"
In addition to her quirks, your "ideal" personality type may have other qualities that are more frustrating or challenging to deal with. Under stress, her 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 women 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.
Hmmmm I can deal with it I suppose

Deal breakers
You seem ready to adapt to the good and frustrating qualities of the women you're looking for, but there are types of women you clearly do NOT like. Women's habits and attitudes you'd have a hard time putting up with include: Your responses suggest that you are pretty accepting and tolerant of shortcomings. No major personality "deal breakers" or reasons to rule out potential dates were identified.
Hmmm ok,, that works


I can pretty much say it is right on the money about me.

Now take (1% women my type) X (12% Very attracted to me) X (1% women shorter than I) .... means 1 in 83,333 women will qualify for serious consideration.

I think I can save you a few dates (and years). Your stats are funny, but they bring up a very important point. For those of us who think the results are pretty close, they're a snapshot who we are today today. We'll all be a little bit different tomorrow.

I don't know the basis for this test, but personality profiles such as Myers Briggs tend to pigeon hole with no consideration for time. The Enneagram groups people with respect to how their personality, likes, and dislikes tend change over time. It's authors classify into one of nine personality types ; the perfectionist, the giver, the performer, the tragic romantic, the observer, the devil's advocate, the epicure, the boss, and the mediator. These types are laid out in a process diagram. People tend to 'move' around the diagram.

I don't think there's a one size fits all test, but I do think that these tests are great tools to help understand and build relationships with the people in our lives. They're also give voyuers an insight into people ;-)
 
Thanks...

I gave up on the 1% shorter and got luck on the rest!

Time is an important dimension. I've moved through 3 of the 16 Meyers-Briggs ports since I took the test 5+ years ago.

I just had too mych time on my hands waiting for an install to finish and couldn't resist taking the test. They are fun and revealing, just not THE answer.
