Personality by Jadwiga Harrison
You and your partner both score A:
You have a high chance of a compatible relationship, since both you
and your partner are both generally mature, confident personalities
who enjoy meeting, communicating with and relating to other people.
You are both willing to go half way to shouldering the demands of a
relationship. Discussing issues, exchanging views and discovering
new aspects of each other's personalities is stimulating for you both.
It also means that when conflicts of interest arise you can usually
manage to resolve them in a rational way, without too much difficulty.
Neither of you is prone to concealing important feelings, disguising major
character traits or retreating into sulky silences which can obscure the
healthy development of intamacy and enjoyment of one's company. Each of
is capable of putting your feelings aside in order to understand the other's
point of view. You are both fairly open minded personalities, not noticeably
subject to possessiveness or jealousy, but willing to listen, but above all
to compromise.
A generally positive outlook characterizes you both, which allows you to retain
a sense of enthusiasm and humor, even in the face of problems. Even if your
hobbies, skills, occupations or actual interests may be quite different from each
others,your similar outlook and attitudes in life give your relationship a great
potential for continued success.
You are A and your partner is a B:
Your relationship on the whole is quite compatible although from time to time you
may hit rocky patches. You may get the feeling that it is your efforts rather than
your partners that keeps things running relatively smoothly.
Whilst you are generally a socialable, friendly and sunny personality who gets on well
with most types of people, your partner may be subject to periods of irrational moods
or irritations, to withdrawel into a private world, or to mild episodes or jealousy
impatience or inability to understand your feelings or points of view. Basically, you
are the more confident partner, even if this is marginally so. You may often find yourself
taking the lead in a relationship, although this may be in subtle, behind the scenes way.
For example, your partner may put on a show of confidence in public, yet in actuality be
dependent on your - perhaps less obvious - support. You are capable of more tolerance
than your partner, and are more willing to make compromises.
The closer your partner's score is to the top of the B range, the greater the chance of continued
success of your relationship. The lower your partner's B score, the more likely you will come to
and end of your patience.
Your score A and your partner C:
You are not likely to be found in a relationship with people who score in this range, although you
may be initially attracted to this person due to an air of mystery or unattainability. However, you
will soon this type of partner too unreachable for your liking.
These people may not possess nearly as much confidence as you do yourself, although they may be adept
at concealing this fact, and giving the impression of being rather self-sufficient independent characters.
They tend to concels viewpoints, ideas and reactions, so you may often wish you knew more clearly where
they stood.
At other times, their reactions may seem to be unpredictable or out of all proportion to the situation or circumstances
which can be very wearing if they refuse to explain or discuss. There may be fits of jealousy or posessiveness,
or apparently immature fits of anger or disregard for your feelings which can seem callous. They may display negative
attitudes which can lead you to exasperation and may well eventually wear you down, particularly if their score is more
towards the lower end of this range.
While you sympathize with their problems and you genuinely try to be understanding, helping and supportive, such a partner
needs to make efforts on his own to boost his confidence and develop his self-esteem and social skills, - or sooner or later
you will give up on him.
You and your partner both score B:
Your relationship can be very good at times; then again, stormy patches are not likely to be unfamaliar to you. When things
are generally going well in both your lives, your relationship tends to run fairly smoothly. But problems on either side can
can soon escalate out of control, leaving you both prey to misunderstandings and misinterpretations of each other's motives
wishes and feelings.
While you are both fairly confident and adept in social situations and more intimate friendships and relationships, your self
assurance, in both cases, can be shaken out of balance by adverse circumstances, by hostile criticism or by temporary moods or
emotions. When subject to these, both you and your partner can fall prey to feelings of insecurity towards each other leading to
episodes of jealousy or possessiveness.
Your own moods and irrations may not coincide with cheerfulness and equinimity on your partner's side, and once you become trapped
in a spiral of destructive and negative reactions to each other, it can be difficult to extricate yourself.
However, there are also many excellent points of contact, and if you are both willing to take the rough along with the smooth, you can
look forward to many rewarding experiences to offset the trying ones.
You score B and your partner scores C:
Your relationship may tend to have more rocky than smooth patches. Your partner tends to lack confidence generally, and this can be
magnified in social situations and even more so in closer, more intimate relationships. His lack of self-assurance can foster inhibitions
and fears frequently encourage him to be more secretive than you with regards to his feelings, motivations, desires and intentions.
This can be frustrating for you, and you can become impatient with his hypersensitivity, periodic moodiness and lack of resilence in the
face of any kind of difference of oppinion.
These factors can lead to quite alot of communication problems between you - not least because although you yourself are less inhibited and
and self-conscious than your partner, and tend to form relationships more easily and successfully, you nonetheless require support and reassurance
when you are at a low ebb, and you cannot always rely on this from him. You also have a greater need to share within your relationship, and here, too,
your partner may be unable or unwilling to comply.
Your more easy-going attitudes can grate on your partner's nerve, while you can become impatient with his apparent lack of humor and overly serious
and often fairly negative attitude. The more pressing emotional problems of your partner's personalities which tend to interfere with the development
of greater intamacy between you are rooted in lack of self-acceptance. If he would take steps to obtain greater self-confidence, your relationship
would stand a better chance of success.
You and your partner both score C:
Your relationship can be particularly difficult, especially if you both have scored near the lower part of the C category. A significant lack of self
confidence characterizes both your personalities - even though this may not be obvious at first sight on the surface - and the problems engendered by
this can result in fairly serious difficulties in communication.
Each of you is likely on occasions to misconstrue intentions, wishes or emotions, because your inhibitions and complexes or feelings of inadequacy easily
lead you to take things too personally, or to see hostility and criticism where they may be none at all. Equally,each of you may frequently fail to hear
what the other is saying or trying to convey, because you are both so busy avoiding conflict and attack that you do not always really listen to each other.
These result often in moodiness, emotional withdrawels, secretiveness and hidden resentments - a hotbed for further misunderstandings. Likewise, your basic
insecurities lead you to overdramatize situations and events, to take things to seriously and to lose the lighter or more positive view. Yet because neither
of you tend to mix easily with others, you can become overly involved with other, allowing trivial conflicts to escalate out of proportion, and encourage
episodes of unjustifiable jealosy, unreasonable possesiveness and mutual unhappiness.
Each of you needs to develop more self confidence and self assurance on the individual level
before you can rid yourself of these negative patterns which can interfere with your potential
to develop and sustain a rich and rewarding close and personal relationship with each other, or
other people.
