I took some kind of relationship assessment thingy a little while ago. I had to answer 100 q's. I finally got my results. Now I'm contemplating them. Kinda interesting, but didn't really tell me anything I didn't already know.

Interdependence...you need someone who reciprocates a strong feeling of attachment to a partner but who also respects and copes well with the fact that you benefit from a reasonable level of physical and psychological space at times.

Intimacy...you need someone who believes and acts on the belief that the intimacy of a relationship is sacred.

Self-efficacy...you need a partner who is energetic, enthusiastic and has high self-efficacy like you and will support or even participate in your personal and professional interests that feed your sense of identity and accomplishment.

Relationship readiness...you need someone who is not looking to be taken care of, but rather who is realistic about the hard work it takes to build and maintain a stable and satisfying relationship.

Communication...you need someone who is eager to give, collect and discuss information with you patiently versus communicate with you on superficial levels out of convenience.

Conflict resolution...you need a partner who is patient, a “big picture thinker” and can relinquish control and pride to make the best decisions for the good and growth of the relationship.

Sexuality...you need someone who regards sex as a meaningful bond between people in love and who appreciates when it is planned to some extent rather than completely spontaneous.

Attitudes toward love...you need someone who believes that the best kind of love grows out of a strong friendship.

Preferred Expressions of Affection...You need someone who can express affection through simple or grand acts of kindness – such as helping you out around the house, running errands for you or doing favors without being asked. This does not mean that you neither like nor need Verbal Communication. Rather, it suggests that you need someone who can show affection in ways other than just verbal expressions such as spontaneous compliments, frequent “I love you’s,” occasional notes for you to find and recognition of your achievements.
