Love Quizzes

Whether you're looking for that special someone or celebrating your silver anniversary, love quizzes can be an entertaining way to think about the world of dating.

Quizzes Explained

Love quizzes usually focus on one area of a relationship, and have a catchy title related to the focus, like "Dream Date or Nightmare Mate?" Some love quizzes are meant to evaluate existing relationships while others are designed to help you find out more about your dating patterns and what you're looking for in a significant other.

A relationship quiz typically consists of five to ten multiple-choice questions, although some online quizzes may be more extensive. If you're reading a quiz in a magazine, you'll need to mark your answers on the page or a separate piece of paper. You will find a key to evaluating your answers at the end of the quiz. Some quizzes assign point values to each answer choice, and you must add up your points. The final results are divided according to point ranges. Other quizzes place related answers at each multiple-choice letter. So if you answer "mostly C's" you'll receive one result, and if you answer "mostly A's," you'll receive another.

If you're completing the quiz online, you will click on the space next to your chosen answers and click the "submit" button when you've finished. The website will automatically tally your answers and bring you to your results page. You can always return to the quiz if you were undecided in some areas and would like to see how slight variations in your answers would affect the final outcome.

Finding Love Quizzes

Women's magazines are the most common source of relationship quizzes, although a large number also appear online. Some of the online sources include:

• Ladies' Home Journal allows you to enjoy the same quizzes you would find in the pages of the magazine in a handy online format.
• LoveTest offers compatibility tests based on astrology and numerology.
• eCRUSH lets you evaluate yourself on topics such as your flirting ability, kissing style, and whether you're a dumper or a dater.
• Saviodsilva.com provides love quizzes based on the symbolic meaning of your answers.

Some sites require you to register before you can view your results. Be careful about submitting your email address. You may want to use an alternate address to avoid filling your primary email account with spam.

Getting the Most from Quizzes

• Be honest - If you truly want to find out something about yourself, you need to answer the questions honestly. Depending on how a specific quiz is written, you may be able to tell where the answers are leading. It may be tempting to pick an answer you think will lead to the best outcome, but it's in your best interest to be truthful.
• Read the explanation - When you've finished a quiz and tabulated your results, don't just look at the category you fit into and move on. Read the entire description for helpful hints and potential insights into your love life.
• Look for credentials - Look for quizzes written by therapists and other professionals for deeper evaluations.
• Share the results - Love quizzes can be great conversation starters for couples in a relationship.
• Don't take it too seriously - When all is said and done, though, it's only a quiz. Just because your relationship doesn't conform to someone else's ideal doesn't mean it's time to walk away if you're otherwise content. Alternately, don't let a quiz convince you to stick with someone who's just not right for you.
