Overview:

Your response indicates a strong need to be precise. This projects into the social environment by the need to have a place for everything and everything in its place.

You may not jump in immediately for a new idea or activity. You may need time to consider all aspects of the idea before supporting it with time and talent.

You may appear to others as hesitant rather than decisive, although you become decisive once all the facts are gathered and evaluated. You will not make a decision unless certain that analysis is complete.

You tend to think before you act. As a result, the things you do will be purposeful and deliberate.

When a new activity is considered, you may require support or encouragement to participate or perform in the new activity.

You prefer to wait until you're sure of your ground before acting. This might mean after several visits to a new place, or after a few meetings with a new person, you will feel more open to risk or share trust.

You will generally not act impulsively. As a result, others around you may perceive a slowness of thought or action. This results not from slow thinking, but from complete analysis of the situation before acting.

You function best in an environment relatively free of conflict or hostility. When tension mounts, you may become silent; and if tension continues, you may withdraw or avoid the situation altogether.

You prefer not to seek quick personal relationships, but rather build relationships slowly. Once your relationships are formed, they tend to be lasting.

Strengths:
You generally take pride in being a strong community member.

You are skilled at finding practical solutions to complicated situations.

You tend to have very high values.

You don't tend to get distracted by superficial issues.

You tend to be an objective decision-maker, preferring not to let undue emotions bias your decisions.

You tend to be an objective, careful evaluator of situations.

You are good at considering information from all sides of an issue before making a decision.

You are skilled at being diplomatic with people in all settings.

You tend to set and maintain very high standards for yourself.

You tend to be the "Anchor of Reality" in highly emotional situations.

You are good at "troubleshooting" potential problems in a relationship.

Comm is ok... blah.

Needs are
Time to think things over before making a commitment.

Objectivity and logic in relationships and activities.

Freedom from pressure to perform or to act quickly without precedent.

A supportive environment where you do not have to display great emotion.

Things done "right" the first time.

Detailed information about major decisions with complete instructions.

Straight talk and straight dealing.

Respect among peers and friends for your quiet manner.

No flattery or shallow praise.

Security and safety procedures around the house: fire safety, smoke detectors, electronic security systems, etc.

Recognition for your concern for quality relationships.

^ You got a long haul yet... it is pretty intense questioning. I guess you can learn a little about yourself in the end though, If you answered honestly.
Pinowawa1
Oh how convenient, aww I spent 45 minutes answering this infinate questionaire and they now say they cannot find me a match. Actually, that is quite understandable!!! No wonder I have had no Girl Freind.. and Im 17 years old!!!!! everyone my age has one geeeezz!!! My lonely reality slapped my in the face yet againnnn!!!!!

Neyways, Here are my results: Some of the following information may seem inaccurate or incomplete. Remember, that this profile is a snapshot of your personality at a specific moment. It is not intended as an in-depth analysis of your complete being, but as a tool to aid in self-discovery.

You have a basic need to be supportive of others. You will agree with others, sometimes even if it's not what you really want.


You prefer a warm, friendly environment free of conflict and hostility. In that environment, you prefer reassurance of your involvement and self-worth.


You tend to be loyal to others. Your loyalty shows in a variety of ways including your "staying power" with relationships and activities.


You may demonstrate positive possessiveness by developing strong attachments; however, you will not be overly involved as some others tend to do.


You are a good friend and are always willing to help those you consider to be your friends. You also show strong ties, and will be uncomfortable when separated from your friends for an extended period.


You tend to be a traditionalist, and will enjoy the social environment best if it is stable and predictable. You dislike sudden decisions about where to go or what to do, preferring to think things out first.


Because of your lenient and complacent nature, others with fewer scruples may take advantage of you. You could, perhaps, benefit from greater assertiveness.


Others may perceive you as being undemonstrative and self-controlled. Not wanting to be the center of attention, you generally support others.


You tend to dislike sudden or abrupt changes. You prefer things the way they are. Your motto might be: "If it's not broken, don't fix it."

Each person has a unique way of communicating. We use a combination of body language, facial expression, verbal tone and word choice to share ourselves with others. The following statements offer a look at the natural behavior you bring to an interpersonal relationship.
In communicating with others, you may support the mainstream ideas rather than new trailblazing activities. You may prefer the stable and traditional activities.


In your group, you may support the group leader rather than vie for a leadership position yourself. As a result, the group leader will usually appreciate the support you bring.


You have a communications style which many people are comfortable with almost immediately. You are sincere, a good listener, not pushy and overall a comfortable person to be near.


Others will notice that you are a sincere person about what you say and do. This trait, along with the excellent listening skills, creates an individual whom most people find pleasant to be with and a calming type of person.


You tend to internalize conflict. As a result, if something about another is bothering you, you may bottle-up feelings and keep them inside.

Show sincere interest as a person.


Provide personal support and assurance.


Start with a personal comment to "break the ice."


Take time to be certain that you reach an agreement.


Present ideas softly, nonthreateningly.


Provide solid, tangible, practical ideas and evidence.


Be sincere and use a tone of voice that shows sincerity.


Work to achieve mutual satisfaction.


Take time during explanations.


Support ideas for change with facts, figures and logic.


You are generally good at cooling down tense situations in a relationship.


You are good at helping others to reach their goals.


You tend to work hard at making sure that other people are happy.


You take pride in being very loyal to friends and family.


You tend to be a very calming influence in heated situations.


You are very respectful of the needs and wants of other people.


You are a dependable and caring partner.


You are very sincere in actions and words.


You are very supportive of other people.


You are generally very patient with people.


You may want:

Things done "right" the first time.


An environment relatively free of conflict.


Freedom from pressure to perform or to act quickly without precedent.


Sincerity offered from others.


Status quo.


Recognition for your loyalty.


Time to think things over before making a commitment.


Clear responsibility and clear lines of who makes decisions.


Time to adjust to change.


Tried, established ways of doing things.


To feel important, but not be the leader.


Most of it is right .. but some things that were analysed are a bit off.

eHarmony is based upon a complex matching system developed through extensive research with married couples. One of the requirements for successful matching is that participants to fall within certain defined profiles. If we find that we will not be able to match a user using these profiles, we feel it is only fair to inform them early in the process.

We are so convinced of the importance of creating compatible matches to help people establish happy, lasting relationships that we sometimes choose not to provide service rather than risk an uncertain match.

Unfortunately, we are not able to make our profiles work for you. Our matching model could not accurately predict with whom you would be best matched. This occurs for about 20% of potential users, so 1 in 5 people simply will not benefit from our service. We hope that you understand, and we regret our inability to provide service for you at this time.

Not completely, even if you don't find a match you get a free personality profile.

By analyzing your answers to the Relationship Questionnaire we have created the following Personality Profile. Everyone has a set of subconscious wants and desires that drive their choices and attitudes. By asking you questions about a wide range of emotional issues, this report has established general patterns in your values.

Some of the following information may seem inaccurate or incomplete. Remember, that this profile is a snapshot of your personality at a specific moment. It is not intended as an in-depth analysis of your complete being, but as a tool to aid in self-discovery.

* Others may perceive you as being undemonstrative and self-controlled. Not wanting to be the center of attention, you generally support others. (bollocks tongue.gif)


* You tend to dislike sudden or abrupt changes. You prefer things the way they are. Your motto might be: "If it's not broken, don't fix it." (again, bollocks. The number of things I want to see changed in the world today...)


* You tend to be loyal to others. Your loyalty shows in a variety of ways including your "staying power" with relationships and activities.


* You may demonstrate positive possessiveness by developing strong attachments; however, you will not be overly involved as some others tend to do.


* Because of your lenient and complacent nature, others with fewer scruples may take advantage of you. You could, perhaps, benefit from greater assertiveness. (SUPLEX! SUPLEX! SUPLEX!)


* You have a basic need to be supportive of others. You will agree with others, sometimes even if it's not what you really want. (...all this really proves is that the questions were too limited)


* You prefer a warm, friendly environment free of conflict and hostility. In that environment, you prefer reassurance of your involvement and self-worth.


* You tend to be a traditionalist, and will enjoy the social environment best if it is stable and predictable. You dislike sudden decisions about where to go or what to do, preferring to think things out first. (that is true, in fairness).


* You are a good friend and are always willing to help those you consider to be your friends. You also show strong ties, and will be uncomfortable when separated from your friends for an extended period.



Each person has a unique way of communicating. We use a combination of body language, facial expression, verbal tone and word choice to share ourselves with others. The following statements offer a look at the natural behavior you bring to an interpersonal relationship.

* In your group, you may support the group leader rather than vie for a leadership position yourself. As a result, the group leader will usually appreciate the support you bring. (nope, I was the leader all through school)


* Others will notice that you are a sincere person about what you say and do. This trait, along with the excellent listening skills, creates an individual whom most people find pleasant to be with and a calming type of person.


* You tend to internalize conflict. As a result, if something about another is bothering you, you may bottle-up feelings and keep them inside.


* In communicating with others, you may support the mainstream ideas rather than new trailblazing activities. You may prefer the stable and traditional activities.


* You have a communications style which many people are comfortable with almost immediately. You are sincere, a good listener, not pushy and overall a comfortable person to be near. (not...pushy? huh.gif)



ollowing are some of the specific strengths and/or personal characteristics that you bring to a relationship. These may form the foundations of many of your friendships and dealings with other people. Some will seem obvious, but you may be surprised by others. Take a moment to reflect on each and consider what role it may have played in your past successes, and even failures.

* You are a dependable and caring partner.


* You are good at motivating others toward positive goals.


* You have an excellent sense of humor and tend to see humor in events spontaneously.


* You are socially poised and people-oriented.


* You are generally very patient with people.


* You are very empathic towards other people.


* You tend to enjoy life and share that enjoyment with others.


* You are excellent at listening to the concerns and ideas of others.


* You are good at helping others to reach their goals.


* You are very supportive of other people.

It was the same for me. I actually tried it 2 or 3 times, changing my answers a little each time and they still "couldn't find me a match". I think the "free personality profile quiz" was a scam...I bet if you paid them they could find you a match. disgust.gif And if not, it would definitely give you an even bigger reason to be pissed off. dontgetit.gif
