NerdTests.com Test: How Long Will Your Relationship Last?

How Long Will Your Relationship Last?

I have a hypothesis about relationships. One day i was comparing how alike i am to my boyfriend, and started doing the same with other couples, and i started piecing together some things that i saw about all the more successful couples. Eventually, i put together i hypothesis that suggests that, though opposites may attract, they do not stay together. Conversely, couples who share similar personalities, tastes in culture, intelligence levels/interest in academics, senses of humor, and even, surprisingly enough, physical appearances, tend to last a lot longer. A history of friendship also tends to boost a relationship's rating. Using this hypothesis, i have constructed this test, which should employ weighted questions to satiate your curiosity about how your relationship rates, while using unweighted questions to conduct a little research for me.
