Me, a XPIG?

Quizzes, quizzes…

I just took this quiz that I came across on Tim‘s friend Helen‘s blog. I quite often take these quizzes just for fun, but in this case some of the results were quite fitting (and then again some of them were dead wrong!), or maybe I don’t know myself as well as I think..?

It’s quite obvious (how stuck-up would I have to be to think this highly of myself) that “You are a magazine-cover, matinee idol dreamboat” is a description of Brad Pitt, not me… and I don’t understand what the word “coiffed” means, even after looking it up on Merriam-Webster.

Hopefully this doesn’t come off as “look, look, this test says that I will make the perfect parent, then it must be true” (and so on), because that’s not at all my intention. It’s rather some of the weaknesses of this XPIG that I can see myself having… and some of it’s stronger points too, in all honesty.

Results:
eXpressive: 6/10
Practical: 7/10
Physical: 4/10
Giver: 8/10 

You are a XPIG–Expressive Practical Intellectual Giver. This makes you a Catch.

You are a magazine-cover, matinee idol dreamboat. Parents love you and want to set you up with their kids. However, first dates are tough because it takes time for your qualities to come out.

You are generous and kind. You think first and act later. You are cool in a conflict, but your practical side means if your partner throws out emotional appeals (“why can’t we do what I want for a change?”) they will grate on your nerves, even when the conflict is resolved.

You’re a romantic. You enjoy the thrill of the hunt, and you don’t just fall into bed with anyone. You pay close attention to your significant other’s needs, and this makes you an excellent lover and partner. The problem is that your friends and lovers may find it so easy to express things to *you* that they lose sight of whether you feel as comfortable with *them*! This doesn’t necessarily make you feel under-appreciated — you’re too well-adjusted and self-aware for that — but you may feel restless. Thus you seek adventure in your life outside the relationship to prove and actualize yourself.

Of all the types, you would make the best parent.

You are coiffed.

Didja see “Big Fish”? ‘Cause you’re like Ewan MacGregor in “Big Fish.”

    eXpressive: 3/10\r\nPractical: 9/10\r\nPhysical: 6/10\r\nGiver: 6/10 \r\n\r\n\r\nYou are a RPYG–Reserved Practical Physical Giver. This makes you a 1950s Parent.\r\n\r\nYou are relentlessly patient, loving, generous and devoted. You are unflappable. If on some rare occasion you do raise your voice or say a swear word in anger, anyone around to hear it will remember it (and think it was funny). At the same time, you\’re very cute and charming, and even if you don\’t catch someone\’s eye at the beginning of the night you\’ll surely have their attention by the end. \r\n\r\nYour calm, conservative nature conceals a passionate (and sexy!) heart. \r\n\r\nYou can have trouble bringing up problems, but your approach to conflict is calm and even-handed. The problem can be is that you are so busy worrying about your partner\’s satisfaction that you don\’t ensure your own. This can build up over time and make you restless. Despite your sexual nature, you are more likely to cheat emotionally than physically. \r\n\r\nYou tend to work out your frustrations in the bedroom. Depending on your partner, this can be an excellent strategy. You would be a great candidate to balance out an XSYT, but not a good match for an unappreciative RPYT. \r\n\r\nYou have an odd, ritualized vice that doesn\’t suit the rest of your persona — like smoking a certain brand of cigarettes or drinking a certain kind of wine. \r\n\r\nOf the 146046 people who have taken this quiz, 4.8 % are this type.

    eXpressive: 4/10\r\nPractical: 7/10\r\nPhysical: 3/10\r\nGiver: 9/10 \r\n\r\n\r\nYou are a RPIG–Reserved Practical Intellectual Giver. This makes you a Rock of Gibraltar.\r\n\r\nYou are loyal, kind, thoughtful and conscientious. You\’re a good person. You make everyone around you happier and better, even if you yourself are not at your happiest or best. You just care so much about your friends and loved ones that you can\’t help giving them everything of yourself. It can wear you out, but you\’d never let on. \r\n\r\nYou\’re successful, smart and fun to be with, but your self-esteem could use some boosting. You don\’t like conflict, and you don\’t like demanding things for yourself, so you can feel unappreciated. But then you wonder if you don\’t deserve to be appreciated. You do! \r\n\r\nYou have many small crushes, but it takes you ages to get to a serious stage with someone. You get so caught up second-guessing yourself and worrying if the other person really *likes* likes you that you never dare to make the first move. Generally you end up with another clever RPIG who knows one when s/he sees one. This adds up to one long courtship. Fortunately this also adds up to one long marriage. \r\n\r\nYou would never cheat. You would never hurt anyone\’s feelings. You are so sympathetic and give so many second chances that it takes a lo-o-ong time for anyone to get on your bad side. \r\n\r\nYour only problem is you can be *too* thoughtful — you can end up worrying and getting hung up over nothing. \r\n\r\nYou may be a boy scout.\r\n\r\nOf the 147371 people who have taken this quiz, 7.1 % are this type.

    BTW, shouldn\’t the title read \”_an_ XPIG\”? :o )

    anyone know a female XSYT? :p

    Not sure, but have thought of two ways coiffed may fit on you:\r\n\r\n1: as an adjective it can mean; OFTEN HUMOROUS \r\n\r\n2: can also mean that you always look neat or tidy, like always dressing propperly no matter what you wear og what you do… as in – How do those TV mothers always manage to look so immaculately coiffed as they do the housework?
