The Quiz Whore Jr/ Can't Sleep.

Was reading Jay's blog archives, and stumbled across this fun quiz. My comments in BOLD.

20 Questions To A Better Relationship. (Have to have one, prior to making it better ...)
eXpressive: 8/10
Practical: 3/10
Physical: 5/10
Giver: 10/10

You are a XSYG--Expressive Sentimental Physical Giver.

This makes you a Sex Bomb. (yeah, there's a big surprise.) You are sexy sex sex sex! (the fuck you say?) The sexness! You are the sexiest, hottest and most charismatic of all types. (oooh, tell me more.) You are a captivating speaker and a great dinner date -- relaxed, self-effacing, charming and generous. (doing well so far) Your type probably has origins in something sad -- trying to keep the peace in a tough family situation, or an early heartbreak -- and you'll probably want to address and resolve that at some point, but in your relationships that heartache is pure gold! (damn, what a downer. Yeah, I've had my heart broken. But it's made me a stronger and better woman, I guess.)

You lie effortlessly -- not necessarily a bad thing. (Umm, I can't lie. I am literally incapable of it.) You can have problems with fidelity. (WHAT? I've only cheated on someone ONCE, and that was in 8th grade!) You need frequent praise and validation, and in seeking it you can make decisions that aren't consistent with your general good judgment. (True.) In other words, don't cheat on your significant other just because someone is paying attention to you. (What is with this cheating shit? Again, I'm loyal to a fault.) You strongly dislike conflict, and will avoid it. (Usually true in relationships. Unless the other person does something that violates my boundaries and issues and shit, then IT'S ON. I have been known to make grown men cry.)

Like an XPYG, you give so much of yourself to your partner that you feel dismissed and unappreciated if you don't get the same in return. (True.) But you internalize your feelings more and have a hard time getting over them. (Very true.) You don't *want* to cheat -- you just keep finding yourself in vulnerable situations. (What the hell? More cheating shit? Sheesh.) But you'll stay with your partner in the long run from guilt and a desire to please. (Whatever.) Your sex life will always be hot. (There's a big surprise.) You are one of the rare people who can keep the fires of passion going forever -- if you find a good match. Find another XSYG and you will never need (or want) anyone else again. (Any one out there that's an XSYG?)

Of the 73088 people who have taken this quiz, 8.7 % are this type. (At least this is more common than my blood type, only 6% of people have that.)
