About this report

We've customized this report based on your answers to the test. Some results will be very accurate while others may miss the mark.



Who You Are

You're a hidden artist
You're a very balanced man with a down-to-earth and easygoing style. You love to work with your hands and probably have an artistic side. You refuse to settle long-term for a boring job or doing something just because it's expected of you. Love is the same way. Despite your natural charm, you can't pretend to care for someone if you're missing a deep connection. You're affectionate with your loved ones and expect a deep sensual connection with the special person you're looking for.


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.

Because you thrive on new adventures and excitement, long-term relationships can be boring. And when you're bored, you typically try to shake things up. Deciding when and with whom you're ready to "settle down" is a special challenge for you.


Here's how you compare with other men your age







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 30.7% (or 1 in 3 men) have very similar beliefs, values, and habits. Of course, the way these qualities are expressed in you is what makes you so unique.

How many other men have personalities like you?


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." Because you're a private person, it's especially important that you find a partner who understands.
  • While others debate about where to go and what to do, you can honestly say "I don't care." Even though you're an easy-going man and open to anything, some people get frustrated because you don't express your opinion or they see your cooperation as indifference and lack of involvement.
  • Because you're a practical down-to-earth man, at times you can hold on to habits and traditions too long and be slow to do things a different way, try a new technology, or change your beliefs.
  • 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.
Do women like your type?
Notice that 44% of women are generally attracted to your personality type. 8% say they are VERY attracted. With the millions of people on Match.com, that translates into lots of potential matches.

How many women are attracted to your type?





Who You're Looking For

She'll be an enigma
You're looking for a woman who can be your lover AND your best friend! You want someone you can count on to do what she says and say what she means. She'll have strong values and lots of common sense. Chances are she'll be actively involved in social, religious or community organizations. Though she can be charming and outgoing at times, she'll also have a quiet and private side. In some ways, she may be hard to get to know, especially emotionally. But she's worth the effort! Behind her conservative clothes and reserved exterior, is an honest, down-to-earth woman who's capable of the type of commitment you're looking for.

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:

  • She's really easy to get along with and won't boss you around.
  • She's sensible and pragmatic about her career, buying new things, and making big decisions.
Here's how you compare to your "ideal" partner





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 6% (or 1 in 17 women) have the exact combination of similarities and contrasts in personality you find extremely appealing.

However, there's a larger group, 22% (or 1 in 5 women), who have most, but not all, of the qualities and habits you like. These subgroups are charted below.

About two-thirds (67%) of the women have at least some of the traits you find attractive.

But you'd have a negative reaction to 33% (or 1 in 3 women), who have some or many of the characteristics you clearly dislike.

How many women are your "ideal" type?

Opposites attract
You're fascinated by women who see the world and do things a little differently than you. Part of you wants to be more like her, or at least have her unique style in your life. She could be good for you in many ways:
  • She can act as the "voice of reason" and objectivity when you're too swayed by emotions.
  • Her ability to plan ahead and stay on time can be appealing to someone like you who would like to be more organized.
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:
  • When she says something that comes across a little harsh or insensitive, you typically can overlook it because you know she didn't mean to hurt your feelings.
  • You can understand her career drive and crises at work, even though she sometimes drags these hassles home.
  • You can appreciate why she wants to make decisions based on her own past experiences, even though it seems pretty narrow and unimaginative to you sometimes.
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 she's such a rational thinker, she may seem cold and heartless at times, especially if the two of you are facing a decision that involves complex emotions or other people.
  • Since she really likes her plans and routines, she won't be as flexible and spontaneous as you'd like her to be.
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.
Trade-offs you'll face

Good Qualities Challenging Qualities
Tries to balance spending time with a few close friends and going out with a big group of friends. Given the demands of family, friends, and activities, it's hard to find time alone together.
Uses "common sense" to make practical decisions. Can lack imagination and stick to traditional solutions even if you suggest newer and better options to explore.
Can step back and look objectively at a problem, which can be helpful to you in any crisis. Almost impossible to turn off analysis and thinking about what's happening.
Takes time to look at a problem and keep options open, rather than rush in. Often postpones making decisions until the situation decides for you.



Sex

Skilled lover
Good sex is important to you, but it's only one of many passions you and your partner can share. Since you prefer to initiate sex when it can be spontaneous and playful sex doesn't need to be part of a weekly "routine." You're probably a skilled lover, and know how to make even the "basics" sensual and fun.

Among men your age, your particular combination of sexual drive and interests is similar to about 1 in 10 men (9%).

Is she sexually compatible?
You're looking for someone just like you, who values the quality of sex over the quantity. You want someone who would never pressure you about sex.

What's ahead for you sexually?
Once you've found a woman who matches you sexually, the stage will be set for a happy and stable relationship. Your only risk is to have sex get too comfortable; too predictable. Avoid boring sex by letting your spontaneous and sensual side shine. You and your partner could end up with an envious sex life.

Attraction Science

What is personality?
Personality is the set of traits and characteristics that make each of us unique yet relatively stable and consistent over time.

- People see and interpret the world differently.
- They want different things.
- They make decisions differently.
- They get excited and energized by different situations.
- They structure their careers, social life, and private time in different ways.


What does personality have to do with attraction?
The way in which people are similar or different in personality strongly affects their attraction to one another. Two people with similar values are more likely to become (and stay) friends or a couple, indeed part of compatibility is having "common ground." However, for many people, compatibility may also involve a balance between each other's quirks and differences.

Where did the test come from?
The test you just took is the most scientifically grounded and customized personality assessment on the Internet. It's a "smart" test because it can tailor specific questions to you based on your earlier choices so no one gets exactly the same questions. The content of the tests and the game-like way the choices were presented are the result of over 15 years of research by the scientists at weAttract.com, Inc.
