Perseus Personality Tests: Number Two

(Under development)


Please each of the four in order of preference.

When choosing a mate, what do you prefer in order:

A help mate
A play mate
Meeting of minds
Meeting of souls


e.g.

Somebody to help you through troubles and makes things better
Somebody to have good fun with and damn the consequences
Somebody you can talk to and understand
Somebody who has the same principles and ideals as you

Meeting of minds had the edge as I found a soulmate that was as thick is two short planks, and I was repelled. Better, to have an intelligent partner with different ideals. Then we can have an argument without resorting to violence.

So

Mindmate
Soulmate
Playmate
Helpmate

For a life mate, I would insist on all of the above. Anything else is just settling.

I was lucky enough to find someone who fits all of the above.

It says order of preference. Are you settled?

Well I did vote in the pole.

In order of preference I would say minds, souls, help mate, play mate.

By settling, I refer to people who choose a less than ideal mate because they feel they won't find any one else, or won't find any one better and they don't want to be alone. So in that sense, I haven't settled. I found some one who is my ideal. We have been married for over 20 years, so I suppose you could say I have settled down.

I'm not implying that the mate would be in the temperament category listed. It's just an observation about what I would expect each to seek if they were stereotypical.

If the soul is wrong, I can really dislike the Other. If the mind is at bit thick, I get fed up, if not repelled. If the play is too rough I get put off, but I can miss it, but then it would be no good as a mate. The help can come from outsiders to a greater degree.

Same here.

If it has to be listed in order, then it is:

Soulmate
Mindmate
Helpmate
Playmate

Well, it depends on whether Perseus wants to know first instinct or after thinking about it. My gut reaction was right along with your stereotypical choice, Playmate first, but if I stop and think I realize if we're talking a mate for life, then #1 has to be that we share the same faith, because everything else comes out of that. So I go with this..

1. Soulmate
2. Playmate
3. Helpmate
4. Mindmate

But like Ilah said, ideally she'd be all of those things.
