Here is another fun test for you from [spark.com](http://spark.com). This time it’s a Love Test. Also, they say they will match you up with the people who fill out the form and are your best matches. It’s all anonymous.

[http://match.thespark.com](http://match.thespark.com)

My scores:  
a Love Rating of 88%  
your remaining 12% is essentially Lust and Sexual Greed. It’s clear that you prefer love.

More about you, as interpreted by us: Morality (6)  
Love Experience (4)  
Sex Experience (3)  
Intelligence (7)

\<— wheel of desperation  
Your wheel of desperation has 4 wedges of discontent. One wedge represents a longing for love and fulfillment. Six wedges comprise one whole melon of need. It is this melon that lights our way through the caverns of loneliness.

</div>

Flyp’s scores:

73% Love, 27% Lust. Prefer Love.

2 Wedges of Desperation. Not a measure of lonelines, but a measure of how badly I want someone in my life.

Morality-5  
Love Experience-5  
Sex Experience-3 (And didn’t ya know _that_ was gonna be the low score. Stop laughing.)  
Intelligence-5

Apparently, I should stay in my relationship. Not quite sure how this came about, since I told them in the beginning that I was single (well, actually, I said I was seeing someone, but they didn’t have a classification for dating casually). I think these guys are telling everyone that so they increase their chances of scoring.

Might just have to show this to a few people…

Hmmmm…our scores look suspisciously similar. I’m starting to doubt the validity of this highly scientific survey. Or do us great SDMB minds (and hearts) just think alike?

Apparently, I have a love rating of 69%. Somehow that seems just plain wrong.

3 Wedges of Desperation, although apparently I’m just as happy in my relationship as everyone else, including those with no relationships… hmm…

Congratulations!

We think you should stay in your relationship. A rare percentage of test takers achieve this award. However, based on your levels of satisfaction and fulfillment, it seems like you’re a very lucky person. Keep being happy!

If my prior tests are any indication, this test does not reflect those scores…

As for sex experience…I think there is a flaw there, not that I am proud of it, but still off.

As for my current relationship…not sure where that is going, so again, this test is seriously flawed. \< hehe \>

I got 91%, 10 for morality, 5 for love experience, and 1 wedge of discontent. Can’t remember the rest.

I too find this suspicious as I scored a 28 on the purity test 🙂

This thing is ridiculous.

Love rating: 62%  
Lust: 38%

Morality: 6  
Love Exp: 5  
Sex Exp: 2  
Intel.: 7

Love rating of 62%!? I don’t even believe love (romantic love, that is) is a real thing. Considering what I’ve read on this MB, I can’t believe _no one_ has a love rating below 50%.

Hey SanibelMan!

As promised, here is your personal evaluation:

75% Love \<---- percentage of the time you think about love  
25% Lust \<---- percentage of the time you think about lust

~6~ Wedges of Desperation. This is not a measure of loneliness, but rather how badly you want to have someone in your life.
