Having seen the ads on the telly, though I told them it was word of mouth which got me there, and not having much to do, I was curious to see how many suitable women were out there waiting for me. (The results are at the end.)
After half an hour of answering their questions I was presented with my personality profile, how accurate it is I leave others to judge:
Agreeableness:
Words that describe you: Fair Considered Collaborative Responsive Sensible Diplomatic Contemplative Indulgent Rational
A General Description of How You Interact with Others You are important. So are other people, especially if they are in trouble. You have a tender heart, but you know how to establish and keep personal boundaries. You are empathetic and compassionate, but you also believe that it's best if people solve their own problems and learn to take care of themselves, if they are able.
You are deeply moved by the needs of others, but you know that if you don't take good care of yourself, you'll wind up being of no use to anyone. So yours is a thoughtful compassion. You strive to be fair and sensible, taking care of others while also taking care of yourself.
When someone really is in trouble, you like to collaborate with them toward a solution; they do their part, you do yours. You consider carefully, and respond in a sensible way; they do their part, and together you move through the difficulty.
You seldom act impulsively; rather, when a problem arises, you take your time to think through the situation. This contemplative quality usually means that you'll arrive at a diplomatic solution, one that's fair for the other person and also fair to you. It's frequently a win/win situation.
Openness:
Words that describe you: Original Inventive Thinker Brave Eccentric Avant-Garde Out-of-Touch Unique
A General Description of How You Approach New Information and Experiences You think like an artist. Or better, you SEE like an artist. While most people look at life's straight lines, its height and depth and width, you're bending the lines with your imagination and turning black and white into shades of blue and yellow. And in conversations at work or with your friends you want to ask, "Do you see what I see?" A few might, most don't, but you've piqued everyone's curiosity with your own original and inventive ways of thinking.
You can, if you must, think in conventional ways. But left on your own, you'll usually opt for the eccentric or avant-garde; in fact you're usually bored with what everyone else is comfortable with. You learn from reading, talking, watching people and other fauna and flora, and simply sitting in the soft chair of your mind and wondering how people would learn how to count if they could only use uneven numbers. You are out in front of conventional ideas, bravely originally defining true and false, right and wrong, the good, the bad and the ugly.
Emotional Stability:
Words that describe you: Emotional Insightful Perceptive Sensitive Self-conscious
A General Description of Your Reactivity Each one of us encounters some hard times; we get caught off guard, or feel a sudden swell of emotion, whether from fear, joy, anger or sadness. Life is just like this sometimes. You know that because you are an emotional person. Some people go to great lengths to keep their emotions under wraps, to keep a stiff upper lip, to not let others know what emotions they are feeling. But that is not you. You embrace all of life's emotions, both the joys and the turmoil that life brings our way.
When you're having fun with a group of friends you don't even try to contain your pleasure; you laugh hard and feel every moment of the conversation because of the joy that comes from the experience. You make very intense friendships; ones where all of the depth of emotions that you feel can be shared. Emotions are such an essential part of your everyday life. You may cry at intense movies or when watching a sad story on the evening news. You get angry, at others or at yourself, and you do not stifle it. Emotions drive your personality and your relationships - you simply are what you feel.
You experience both the highs and the lows more profoundly than most. And you usually relish the intensity of your emotions. For sure you enjoy the positive times. There are those times, though, when your feelings get the best of you and you wonder how you will manage the moment. But because you are so in tune with all of your emotions you will experience something very pleasant and will be able to engage with that positive feeling to again enjoy the wonderful intensity that life brings you.
Finally my matches:
Should I be prepared to cough up £119.40 for a year, the list of women who are right for me, within 60 miles of sunny West Lothian, comes to a grand total of zero. Not even Rose West would be interested.
Oh well back to the balaclava, cuffs and Rohypnol.

Of course. Isn't that the point? Which may be why there are no matches. Or do you mean other people may be economical with the actualité? Science, the only religion that works even if you don't believe in it. | |

I feel I know you quite well; better than many, not as well as some. I think my summary, made years ago, says it all rather better "A bit of a sad anorak, but mind like a steel trap." All that gubbins from eharmony is (bloody funny) bullshit, but I doubt you're surprised! You've got my interests up now, I'm off to have a go. No doubt they'll have me pegged as some sort of emotionally repressed social hermit. Oh, but wait a minute... The trouble with having an open mind, of course, is that people will insist on coming along and trying to put things in it. - Terry Pratchett | |

I will laugh if its the same as Bohnanzas. Well maybe laugh is a bit strong.....smirk definitely though. F is for fire that burns down the whole town | |

As an addendum, it told me in rather surly terms that because I was married, it would not show me any matches. There's probably loads and loads of them out there waiting for me. *harumph* Aye right! The trouble with having an open mind, of course, is that people will insist on coming along and trying to put things in it. - Terry Pratchett | |

I read "tender heart" and that was it for me, I can't stop laughing. | |

I got the same "Agreeableness:" as Bohnanza. Now I'm sure I'm far more agreeable than he is, so this cannot be right! I did however get one 'match'. A bloke in Carnoustie who claims to be "spiritual" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Edited 28 Jul 09, 8:56 PM by Rhoobarb | |

What a crock. What do you have to answer, I wonder, to get "You're an anti-social miserable cunt who revels in their friends' misery, or at least you would if you had friends. You'd best sign off now before you tarnish the reputation of this website." The only thing we have to fear is fear itself. |
