Looking at the Usefulness of Couple Compatibility Tests

By David Clinton


There are all types of compatibility tests and astrological sign comparison tests that claim to be able to predict the future of a couple in love, but are couple compatibility tests really helpful? Although they cannot predict the future or determine whether or not a couple will succeed or fail, they can be very beneficial for new couples, serious couples, and even individuals who have been married for years.

Making a determination of the compatibility of two people in a relationship is the goal of a couple compatibility tests. Couples normally take these before they choose to get married to find out that they have many levels of agreement on the various aspects of life. There are several aspects covered with a couples' compatibility test such as habits, likes, dislikes, life at home and the goals they have for the future just to name a few things that are covered.

Although it is not necessary for a couple to have everything in common in order to succeed, couples compatibility tests can help to determine whether or not a relationship is likely to work out. By testing the couple on a number of different aspects and compiling a score based on similar answers, a couple can find out how much they really have in common.

Compatibility tests can give couples an idea of how much they have in common even though they cannot determine if the couple will spend the rest of their lives together or even marry for that matter. This makes them a good idea all the same. The similarities that people have will determine if they get along even though things such as whether they will fall in love, have fights and make mistakes can not be.

A relationship compatibility quiz is a useful way to learn a lot about a significant other, since questions will touch on almost every aspect of life. It is a great way to find out their likes and dislikes, and even their career and family goals for the future. By comparing answers and determining whether or not there are similarities, a couple can determine whether or not their future together will be promising.

Both individuals in a relationship take a couple's compatibility test and the answers are compared to give them an overall compatibility score. This score is based on the number of answers that were given that were similar. Points are also lost for answers that are totally opposite. Partial points are also given for answers that are somewhat similar, and full points are given for those answers that match perfectly. By comparing answers and awarding points for those answers that are similar, a couple is able to realize just how much or how little they have in common with each other.

Though personal preferences and goals change over a period of time, a couple's compatibility test is a great way to be able to compare likes and dislikes from the start. From simple questions like a favorite color to more serious questions about finances and children, two people are able to learn new information about one another. They can learn about the past, present, and future of their significant other and see if they are a good match for each other.

Couples compatibility tests are very helpful because they can bring a couple closer together or bring them to dating other people because of the many differences that existed. Opposites may attract in the short term, but in the end, couples with similar interests last longer than those with dissimilar interests. Though these tests are not meant to be a perfect future predictor of how well a couple will succeed, they are a great tool for being able to see how much a couple has in common.

Honesty Is Essential To Get Your Ex Back

By Molly Laws


If you and your ex have broken up and you are frantically trying to think of some way to reverse the situation then you need to stop for a second and make sure are being honest with yourself.

Think about why you are so desperate to get your ex back. Because for many people getting their ex back is not a matter of love, it's a matter of jealousy. It's the green monster.

People who are motivated by jealousy are not concerned about what is right for their ex. They only want to renew the relationship because they hate imagining their ex with someone else.

Try your best to separate love from jealousy in your thinking. Your mind can play tricks on you but make every effort to be clear in your thinking because if you are really motivated by jealousy your efforts are probably doomed to failure.

When you are as sure as you can be that your reasons for wanting your ex back are not motivated mainly by jealousy then you have a some more honest thinking to do.

Think about why the relationship broke up in the first place. And be honest with yourself. This is no time to play the blame game.

No matter what the ultimate reason for the break up was you must shoulder some of the responsibility.

Because believe it or not, if the blame is mostly yours you have a much better chance of reversing the split and getting back together.

How can that be you say?

You can't change your ex. So if you bear no responsibility for the ending of your relationship then there is nothing you can change to get your ex back.

But if you are mostly at fault then you can make corrections that your ex can see and that will hopefully lead to reunion.

Be honest with yourself. Do your best to understand why you want your ex back and what you did to cause the break up and you have a great chance of getting your ex back.
