Psychologists have come up with some tests for checking out the suitability of online partners who you may be talking to across thousands of miles without ever meeting.
The tests are free and are pointers towards your partner’s personality and compatibility with you – and if you are really brave, you can try the marriage test as well.
Good advice is to hold back on the marriage test for a while, because you don’t want to frighten the guy or girl off too quickly!
The compatibility test is based on famous psychologist’s Karl Jung’s work in ‘typology’, which is a model of personality traits.
Before you take the test, remember it’s not infallible and is just one of several indicators you should base any decisions that you might make about your relationship.
The test is just a list of questions that requires simple ‘yes’ or ‘no’ answers. The questions are designed to disclose information about you. Don’t worry about what you reveal because the test is anonymous and you don’t have to show anyone the results.

The test identifies four facets of your personality:
* Extraversion - introversion – whether you are outgoing or ingoing
* Sensing and intuition – believing information you receive direct from the outside world or from your own imagination
* Thinking and feeling – do you make decisions by logic or emotion
* Judging and perceiving – judging means you are organised and perceiving means you act on the spur of the moment
From the score under each heading, psychologists have modelled 16 character types and researched how these traits affect your life, romances and career.
As a bonus, the test results also gives a list of famous people who have similar personality traits to you.
A good reason to take the test is before you write your online profile. If your profile is not picking up a lot of hits and you want to know why, then taking this test is a good way of seeing yourself as others do.
You can then take the information of your personality type and rewrite a more accurate profile.
