wouldn’t it be great if online dating sites were more like social networks?  These days most people spend a lot of time interacting on social networks, you dont have to be a geek now!  I have to own up to being very partial to social networks and find that in contrast online dating sites can be less friendly or able to deliver a good match, probably due to their fear of loss of customers?

Today I’m going to do a review of Dateline’s Relationship Assessment – they call it ‘The Really Ultimate Relationship Test’. It’s basically a condensed Myers Briggs assessment (Jungian based) which they have purchased from testsonthenet.com. I’m pretty partial to Myers Briggs assessments, having been a Jungian therapist in a past life. However I’m not sure that there are enough questions to really give an accurate assessment. I have always been an ENF(Feeling)J however on Dateline I became a ENT(Thinking)J? Apart from enjoying the change from being a Feeling oriented person to being a Thinking oriented person, it makes me a little wary of this short assessment.
