About This Quiz

Whether you're currently single, married or part of the "it's complicated" club, we all have an ideal partner that is suitable for our personalities. Maybe this type of partner makes you feel like you're on cloud nine, or maybe they challenge you more than a difficult game of Sudoku. So before you take our relationship quiz, let's talk about some of the most popular "types" of people to date!

Were you nominated for prom king or prom queen in high school? Then maybe "the popular type" is right for you. This kind of person is considered a perfect 10 who has brains, charisma and an outgoing personality. They typically don't get to this elite status without being super honest and straightforward with others, but this just means that they have nothing to hide. Or, maybe you're a super shy and quiet person who wants to date someone that can help you feel more confident. A funny person, or a comedian, would be perfect because they'll make you laugh and smile when you're feeling down (bonus: they may also teach you a few funny jokes)! So if you're curious about what your ideal partner is like, then it's time to take our romantic quiz!
