So they tell me that I'm a catch...

Quiz to a better Relationship

eXpressive: 6/10
Practical: 6/10
Physical: 2/10
Giver: 6/10


You are a XPIG--Expressive Practical Intellectual Giver. This makes you a Catch.

You are a magazine-cover, matinee idol dreamboat. Parents love you and want to set you up with their kids. However, first dates are tough because it takes time for your qualities to come out.

You are generous and kind. You think first and act later. [Oh... so untrue!] You are cool in a conflict, but your practical side means if your partner throws out emotional appeals ("why can't we do what I want for a change?") they will grate on your nerves, even when the conflict is resolved. [Huh?]

You're a romantic. You enjoy the thrill of the hunt [too true!], and you don't just fall into bed with anyone. You pay close attention to your significant other's needs, and this makes you an excellent lover and partner. The problem is that your friends and lovers may find it so easy to express things to *you* that they lose sight of whether you feel as comfortable with *them*! This doesn't necessarily make you feel under-appreciated -- you're too well-adjusted and self-aware for that -- but you may feel restless. Thus you seek adventure in your life outside the relationship to prove and actualize yourself. [Hmmm... China anyone?]

Of all the types, you would make the best parent.[Really?]

You are coiffed. [typed that into Dictionary.com - couldn't find it!]

Didja see "Big Fish"? 'Cause you're like Ewan MacGregor in "Big Fish."

I don't think that is the best description of me. I wonder why we take all these quizzes to tell us who we are when we could do a much better job oursevles. Geez. I'm not sure which other answer suits me best, because they all have little elements of me in them. I'm not sure I agree with the dichotomies they put out.

eXpressive vs. Reserved
Practical vs. Sentimental
phYsical vs. Intellectual
Taker vs. Giver

There needs to be more middle ground.

However, after reading through the quiz key, and I found a couple that yelled out some names at me. For example:

You are a RSIT--Reserved Sentimental Intellectual Taker. This makes you a Archetypal Older Child.

You are a hard nut to crack. You have a wicked sense of humor. Despite your reserved nature, you are more comfortable (and successful) in the meeting and courting mode than you are in a long term relationship. You feel misunderstood, and usually you are.

When you're in a good mood, you're funny, fascinating and a sexy firecracker, but when you're in a bad mood you are moody, broody and impatient. In courtship mode, you don't have to let anyone see your moody side. If you had your way, even in a long term relationship you would have enough time apart to deal with your bad moods yourself; unfortunately, it rarely works that way.

You stifle *a lot* of anger and frustration -- from all areas of your life -- so when it comes out it comes out nasty. More than any other type, your conflicts tend to turn on one tiny thing -- the dishes, the laundry -- that's really a scapegoat for your larger dissatisfactions with your relationship. You're baffled that your partner just can't do the dishes -- your partner is baffled that it's such a big deal. The only way around it is to let the dishes go entirely and try to get at the real root of what's bothering you.

I'm making you sound like a bear, but the fact is that you're so warm and charming most of the time that it effectively offsets the times you're unhappy.

You will make a weirdly good parent.

Don't pair up with someone who'll make sexual demands of you. That's just not going to fly at all.

If that didn't remind you of Su, I don't know what will!
