Similarities … and not Opposites … attract!
We’ve all heard about how opposite personalities attract.. that has not been my experience. The more similar people are… the more attracted they can be to each other.
What has been rather annoying is that my wife of 35 years keeps throwing a Psychology test or two at me with a wry smile… and the results keep coming back concluding that we are very similar…. very disturbingly similar.
Laura’s Latest effort to shake my confidence in my uniqueness in our duo was a little test that measures two seemingly unrelated cognitive perspectives: the EQ (Empathising Quotient) and the SQ (Systematizing Quotient).
So…the results came in as follows: Laura’s EQ was 51 and mine was 59, Laura’s SQ was 97 and mine was 104.
This is very interesting, but a bit scary… I have always thought she knew what I was thinking. Now, I know she knows HOW I think.
Take the test… and see how much you share with others..
