Personality tests

1. A Love Test

Answer the questions (honestly!) and then read the explanations.

1. You are walking to your boy/girlfriend's house. There are two roads to get there. One is a straight path to take you there quickly, but is very boring. The other is much longer but is full of wonderful sights and interesting things. Which one do you take to get to your boy/girlfriend's house, short or long?

2. On the way you see two rose bushes. One is full of red roses, the other is full of white ones. You decide to pick 20 roses for your boy/girlfriend, of any colour combination. What number of white and red roses do you pick? (You can pick all of one or any combination of the two).

3. You finally get to their house. A family member answers the door. You can ask them to get your boy/girlfriend or you can go get him or her yourself. Which do you do?

4. You go up to you boy/girlfriend's room, but nobody is there. You decide to leave the roses. Do you leave them on the windowsill or on the bed?

5. Later, it's time for bed. You and your boy/girlfriend go to sleep in separate rooms. In the morning, when it's time to get up, you knock at your sweetheart's room. Is s/he awake or asleep?

6. Now it's time to go back home. Do you take the short, plain road or the longer, more interesting one?

Explanations

1. The road represents your attitude towards falling in love. If you take the short road, you fall in love quickly and easily. If you take the long road, you take your time and do not fall in love easily.

2. The number of red roses represents how much you give in a relationship, while the number of white represents what you expect in return. For example, if you chose 18 red and 2 white roses, you give 90% and expect 10% in return.

3. This question represents your attitude towards handling relationship problems. If you asked the family member to get you your sweetheart, then you like to avoid problems and hope that they will solve themselves. If you went to get him or her yourself, then you are a more direct person and like to work out problems immediately.

4. The placement of roses determines how much you like to see your boy/girlfriend. Placing them on the bed means you like to see them a lot, while placing them on the windowsill means that you are alright with not seeing them very often.

5. This is representative of your attitude towards their personality. If you find them asleep, you love your boy/girlfriend the way they are. If you find them awake, you expect them to change for you.

6. If you chose the short road, you fall out of love easily. If you chose the longer one, you usually stay in love for a long time.

Majority of As

You are not a very successful person, are you? You blame it on your friends, teachers and parents. It's only your fault. Your answers sound rude. You are not very pleasant to deal with. Be careful not to treat people badly. Why not study good manners? It's never late to start a new life. Good luck!

Majority of Bs

You are rather successful. People around you think that you are friendly and easy to get along with. Your friends and parents are always ready to help. Congratulations! But don't put on airs.

Majority of Cs

Trying to be too polite is no good. Ask your close friend to read your answers aloud. Aren't they funny? Diffident people can't be successful. Stop making excuses when the problem is not worth it.
