So for a class I was asked to take the personality profile (free) to compare to a Myers-Briggs.

Has anyone else had to take that marathon quiz? Holy crap it's like 5000 questions.

Also, in the 20 matches it emailed for taking the quiz 19 of them were teachers

can't argue with accuracy

wwwhy?

10/8/2009 4:20:30 PM

^the teachers part or having to take it in the first place? Not sure on the second bit, but I know the course is an easy A (it's a managerial course.)

10/8/2009 4:22:55 PM

My eHarmony profile was rejected.

10/8/2009 4:27:40 PM

you must be teh gay

10/8/2009 4:28:51 PM

its all teachers because those are the types of girls that eharmony accepts and thrives on

10/8/2009 4:29:03 PM

There is no suck thing as gay.

10/8/2009 4:29:14 PM

^^that could be very possible

10/8/2009 7:18:27 PM

10/8/2009 7:21:19 PM

i did the stupid questionaire, but i didn't bother to read the results after they told me i fell in the whatever percent that they couldn't match. (that does wonders for your self esteem, by the way).

10/8/2009 10:25:05 PM

i wonder what %age of tww posters would/do fail to be sorted by eharmonys test

10/8/2009 10:28:57 PM

i dunno. i've been in a relationship for 4 years and i failed SO WHAT NOW EHARMONY?

10/8/2009 10:29:40 PM

lol, oh i "failed" it too

i also wonder how iq scores correspond to being classified or not by eharmony

10/8/2009 10:30:37 PM

4 years

jesus lady, shit or get off the pot

10/8/2009 10:31:02 PM

haha its weird because only 20% of people fail

i guess we're all on tww

i don't really get how i failed either. hmmm. maybe i shouldn't have put that i am somewhat selfish, but i was just trying to be honest!

10/8/2009 10:31:24 PM

uh oh

"Lesbians and gays are not the only ones unwelcome on eHarmony; Warren says he rejects 16% of those who take his patented personality test because they're poor marriage prospects. Weed-outs include people under eHarmony's 21-year-old age limit and those whom the site decides are lying on the test. It also removes those believed to have certain types of emotional instability, such as "obstreperousness" (they just can't be pleased) and depression, because "depression is pretty highly correlated with emotional problems," Warren says."

10/8/2009 10:39:56 PM

oh well duh i have anxiety and depression. why didn't they just ASK that

but i take medicine, duh

10/8/2009 10:50:10 PM

wow it is crazy that all these poor paid teachers paying $$ for eharmony.

10/8/2009 11:56:59 PM

^very true, did not think of that

I just took that test. i thought for sure i'd be rejected for my answers, but... well I'll be damned, i wasn't. and even more surprising, it seems pretty accurate assesment

of course, i had to lie about being married, because i would have gotten cockblocked right off the bat.

but other than that, i think i'm looking pretty hot. Hell, I'd date me

haha. now that ive done that eharmony thing, my inbox is flooded with matches.

i even got a couple "close communications" from gals, with some text in there about how "it always doesnt work out" and would I "like to send a final closing message"

i was gonna write back all like "bitch i aint never said one word to your ass, don't tell me about how it 'ain't gonna work out'"

but then i found out it will cost me money to do that, so you know, fuck it.

It's a great ego boost I'm on a 3month deal and get like 5-10 matches a day. I don't even use the site anymore, it's too damn time consuming to close people out. I'll log in sometime and post the personality profile thing

10/12/2009 3:16:59 PM

I guess this is why, as you mentioned in your trophy date thread, you have no trouble finding women.

I have

an executive director of business finance

a digital media manager

a radio station manager

a software developer

a nanny

3 teachers

I don't see whats wrong with it weeding out whiny losers and emotionally unstable people. No one wants to date them. I wish when I was single I had a way to tell who was a total downer just waiting to blame all their problems on me, and managing to act normal long enough to get me involved.

10/12/2009 3:38:29 PM

Alessandra, a professional ballet dancer.

i am so tempted to sign up for this site for just a few months. $135 for 3 months doesn't seem too bad....hmm

10/20/2009 11:15:27 PM

you could buy a lot of drinks at the bar for $135 and meet people in real life

10/20/2009 11:18:58 PM

$20 a mo, chief

I've signed in for the first time to groom the prospects

10/20/2009 11:26:12 PM

I did that shit and got 0 matches in the whole fucking country

no lie

maybe this is why my last two girlfriends have said "You bring out the worst in me"

10/20/2009 11:34:03 PM

Ok, I don't believe in this junk at all. However I have nothing on the books past a huge test on Thursday morning. I'll give this a shot and report back.
