My First Date Analysis

Project B caught my attention because I am currently in my first real, happy relationship. I didn’t like to date when I was younger for I never really saw a point. I consider myself an ambitious person and I have never been able to see myself making Tennessee my permanent home. My high school was flooded with proud Tennesseans (and assholes), so I refused to settle down with a boy who could possibly change my mind.

The test measured our preferences of where we focus our attention, how we acquire information, how we make decisions, and how we orient toward the outer world.

Ethan and I scored almost identical in this area and I love that. We both use intuition to perceive information. I think it’s important for couples to be similar in this aspect because otherwise, there would be plenty of room for conflict. For example, if I was dating a guy who was a sensing type, I think he would be more likely to see my thoughts and ideas as impractical or unrealistic and that would just piss me off. As intuitive types, Ethan and I encourage each other to think outside the box. We often compare our thoughts and ideas and it makes for great discussion.
