After seeing all of the commercoals from eHarmony about their matching system my fellow Marines and myself decided to try it out and see just how accurate they could get. What follows is a direct copy/paste of what they had to say about me.

* You are the type of person who gets things done and gets them done right. Often you can be intense and have a tendency of forcing your way of doing things on others.

* You can be quite cautious and not trust people you don't know. Once you get to know them you can be warm and disarming.

* You respect those who win out against the odds and show persistence. You set high goals for yourself and others.

* Your primary social strategy is making things happen and happen now. Usually very active, you thrive on challenge. When the going gets tough, you get going.

* You have a natural enthusiasm for the activities you prefer. Because of your enthusiasm, you may forget that others have different wants and needs.

* You are tenacious and will make things happen even when faced with many obstacles.

* You can get so involved with an activity that you take charge, and this can frustrate others. You don't mean to take charge, it's just your drive.

* Some see you as cautious, but once you decide upon an action you can be direct and demanding.

* You have a high interest in the new, the unusual and the adventurous. You may also be curious and have a wide range of interests, preferring an ever-changing environment.

* You will take issue and not shy away from confrontation when others disagree with how you feel or think.

* In social situations, you prefer variety, adventure and the unusual. You may lose interest if you feel a situation is becoming routine. As a result, you must be kept busy and involved with making things happen.

* You don't actively seek out conflict; however, you will confront those who stand between you and what you want to happen.

* Your high ego traits coupled with impatience may have others read you as arrogant at times. This is only appreciated by others when they understand that you need quick results, challenges and competition.

* You may lack empathy and hurt the feelings of others without realizing it--this is not intentional.

* Not having a climate of challenges and competition may cause you to create such a climate. You perform best under pressure, and may assume that others want the same...your assumption is not always true.

* You are active in the things you do and in your communication. Your rapid mental activity becomes apparent when, rather than listening to others, you will be thinking of what you might say next.

* You have a natural competitive style. It is important for you to feed that competitive spirit, while also showing more patience with those who choose not to be so competitive.

* Having a variety of results at stake brings out the best in you. Your great strength is in directing yourself and others toward specific activities results.

* You place a high value on being direct and honest when expressing thoughts and feelings.

* You generally don't like to back away from a challenge.

* You like to analyze problems and discuss their possible solutions before taking action.

* You are good at calmly discussing all sides of an issue when a decision needs to be made.

* You like to initiate new activities.

* You enjoy situations where you can demonstrate your skill or mastery of a subject.

* You tend to be tenacious about solving problems, not liking to give up until something is resolved.

* You are good at "troubleshooting" potential problems in a relationship.

* You like to take action and see that things get done.

* You don't tend to get distracted by superficial issues.

* You like to take the initiative when something needs to be done.

Wow. That doesnt sound a bit like me. My advice, piss away the near hour it took to complete this test by drinking instead.

Wow...great call-back. And from a member who left in a huff about this or that. Though you obviously need to revisit your definition binder to figure out what a "bleeding-heart liberal" is.

Nihilists generally assert some or all of the following:
• there is no reasonable proof of the existence of a higher ruler or creator,
• a "true morality" does not exist, and
• secular ethics are impossible;
therefore, life has, in a sense, no truth, and no action is objectively preferable to any other.
