this was the test i took... from the webby provided on herro's OD...
Who You Are
You're a woman who always reaches out to help
You're a pillar of strength and stability for the people in your life. You're responsible, loyal, and hardworking. In a crisis, you're definitely the one your friends and co-workers come running to. In fact, you're known for your common sense advice and business savvy. Your life is very ordered and busy since you're always juggling your career, family and friends, and community involvement. But you have room in your life for someone special. You're not someone who "wears her heart on his sleeve" so those close to you don't always know how you feel. However, they always know they can count on you to do what you say and say what you mean.
What's dating all about to you?
You're a true romantic. To you, finding a loving relationship is a mission or journey with clear goals and even a timeline. Falling in love is an especially magical experience. You're suddenly free from the rules and thinking that guide your life. You usually keep your feelings and life under control. But remember, the bigger the dam, the bigger the flood when it breaks!
You face two major challenges in finding the love of your life. First, it's easy for you to get too focused on finding Mr. Right and getting married, rather than "going with the flow" and seeing where dates lead you. Second, you're at risk for missing a great man because he doesn't initially seem to meet your standards.
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 29.6% (or about 1 in 3 women) have very similar beliefs, values, and habits. Of course, the way these qualities are expressed in you is what makes you so unique.
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.
-Some days when you're in a bad mood and can't hide it, co-workers or friends take it personally and think you're upset at them.
-The organization and time-management skills that serve you so well in your career can spill over into your personal life and at times make you seem controlling and impatient.
-You're more cautious about getting into a commitment or saying "I love you" than most other women.
Do men like your type?
Notice that 95% of men are generally attracted to your personality type. 86% 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 very balanced man. He'll have clear goals in life and dreams he hopes to pursue. He's not always the most practical or realistic thinker, but his passion and excitement about his ideas are contagious. He also manages to balance a clear rational side with a more compassionate and caring side. He manages to enjoy one-on-one times as well as getting together with his larger network of friends. He'll constantly be juggling things in his life but will still find a place for you. Sound too good to be true? Men who are truly balanced like this are rare, but they do exist and would be an excellent fit for you.
Overall, it's important for you to be with someone who is almost always cheerful and has an optimistic outlook on life. The ideal person you're seeking shares a number of positive qualities with you, 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.
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 7% (or 1 in 14 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.
Almost three-fourths (71%) of the men have at least some of the traits you find attractive.
But you'd have a negative reaction to 29% (or 1 in 4 men), who have some or many of the characteristics you clearly dislike.
Opposites sometimes attract
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. Still, sometimes differences can help create a "spark" and excitement about each other. Part of you wants to be more like him, or at least have his unique style in your life. He could be good for you in many ways:
-His happy and optimistic nature will brighten up your mood and outlook on life.
-Because his eyes are always on the future, he can help you plan ahead and get excited about goals without being bogged down in day-to-day practicalities.
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 can enjoy his enthusiasm for new ideas without taking his plans, which are often unrealistic, too seriously.
-There will be days when you think he's simply "too happy" all the time. Doesn't anything get him down? Is he human?
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 he has a very positive take on life, he's probably not the best shoulder to cry on. At times his cheerfulness may seem fake or shallow and make it hard to connect with him.
-He may talk a lot about his career ambitions and dreams for how to improve your community or the environment, but never takes practical steps to get there.
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:
-our 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.
