About This Quiz

Maybe we'll never reach the place where we find an absolutely perfect match for ourselves, but these divine feminine figures are sure to help us figure out what is truly important to us when searching for a mate. The Ancient Greek spiritual system offers us a wide range of personalities to choose from. Tell us a bit about yourself, and we should have no problem finding a Mt. Olympus soulmate for you.

If you're someone who is attracted to intelligence, we're going to start out with Athena as the front-runner for your match. Should you also mention that you're drawn to strategy games, and you consider yourself to be a very courageous person, then it seems pretty clear that this Greek goddess is just the one you've been looking for.

Alternatively, maybe you're a drop-dead-gorgeous person who lives life completely from the heart. If you live and love like there's no tomorrow, it seems like a safe bet to go with Aphrodite for your partner. When you bring up that your relationships tend to be very intense and burn out fairly quickly, we're going to be quite convinced that we've nailed it on this one.
