Online Dating?

I have never in my life considered online dating...and since I have a boyfriend currently, I'm still not considering it. However, I have a friend that has used several online dating services and found another to check out recently. She went to chemistry.com and took a personality survey to find out what kind of person she would be compatible with. The survey was completely free and did not make her obligated to sign up for an account. After she read her results to me I decided I really wanted to see how close they could get to identifying my personality (they were not extremely accurate about hers). So today at work I went to chemistry.com and filled out their online survey...it blew me away how close they got to my actual personality both things I have identified about myself and things I have been told by friends.

Here are my results:

You are a NEGOTIATOR/explorer

You are a big thinker. You easily take the large, long view of almost any topic. You are comfortable juggling myriad facts. You tend to synthesize material easily and to think in webs of factors, not straight lines. You are imaginative and enjoy theorizing.

You are also socially savvy. You are good at both talking and listening. And you generally read people's faces, body postures and tone of voice accurately, so you tend to intuitively understand what people want and need.

You are also highly compassionate. You care deeply about others. So you sometimes make personal sacrifices to be a supportive friend or colleague. And you like to work to improve the world.

You enjoy new ideas and novel experiences. You are flexible, affable and open to adventure. And you admire impulsive, spontaneous people, despite your tendency to plan ahead.

You dislike conflict. You seek "win-win" solutions. And with your skill as a negotiator, you adeptly bring peace to the chaotic world around you. You are a warm, insightful and often exciting companion.

I really liked the way they described my personality type. I think it's pretty truthful...I think they could have included in their my no nonsense attitude LOL but I like what they do have. They also offer you dating tips for your personality type. Since I have a major personality type (Negotiator) and a minor type (Explorer) I've put both on here. They're actually really great tips for the most part.

Dating Tips for Negotiators

In the beginning of a relationship, try not to over think the situation or over—react to minor set backs. If there's chemistry and compassion, it will all work out.

You may be so diplomatic that your potential partner is unclear who you are. Take a chance at being more direct and decisive.

Rather than waiting for the right moment, interrupt now and then with some of your imaginative and broad—minded ideas; it can lead to sparkling, involved conversation and close companionship.

Let a potential partner know your boundaries, needs and hopes. This way he or she will be able to act accordingly to deepen the bond.

Talking is only one form of intimacy. Try doing something side by side with him or her, particularly something new and collaborative.

Dating Tips for Explorers

You are curious and flexible; so you can get involved in a relationship too quickly, and then wonder how you got in so deep so fast. Step back and reflect before you leap.

You like excitement and novelty. But some routines can expand into wonderful traditions. Kindle some regularities in your partnership.

You hate to confront, so you tend to break up with silence or absence. Develop some forthrightness. Your disappointed partner will appreciate your honesty and you will feel more liberated.

Search for ways to inspire a partner who appears traditional. You may draw out a cautious person who loves your spirit and wants to go exploring with you.

You tend to be popular. So when you find someone you are genuinely interested in, avoid other dating opportunities and concentrate on this mate.

You prefer to take a relationship one day at a time. But when you find your partner in adventure, create imaginative ways to make a deeper commitment.

So I think if you want to have some fun, you should go check out what they say about your personality type. It takes about 10 minutes or so to do the little survey and get your results. www.chemistry.com.
