Boyfriend girlfriend quizzes are very popular for young couples in the early stages of romance. They like to test their compatibility with one another to see whether or not they’re a good love match. However, how much faith can you put into the results of these relationship quizzes? What is the truth behind many of these “true love tests”?

Are they good indicators that can lead you to believe that you and your girlfriend or boyfriend are a perfect match? Can you rely on the information they provide? To help you work out answers to these questions, let’s look at how the usual boyfriend girlfriend tests are developed.

To begin with, it’s best if you’re aware of who has published the relationship quiz. Many women’s and teen girl’s magazines often run a quiz of some kind in every issue. And, more often than not, they are centered around the topics of love or dating. These quizzes are completely unscientific and are written purely for entertainment value.

Designing a good boyfriend girlfriend quiz takes time. If the quiz is run in a popular magazine or on a fun internet site, it will generally have around twenty or so multiple choice questions for the participants to answer and it probably hasn’t taken all that long to develop. You’ll often find that these type of love compatibility tests only really skim the surface of what’s desirable for couples to hit it off.

However, for example, there are serious couples’ quizzes such as the one that “EHarmony” uses to determine dating partners. And, if you take the time to look around, you’ll no doubt find other magazine-type tests and the ones run by online dating sites that are better than average.

Professionally Developed Boyfriend Girlfriend Quizzes

If you’re in the market to for a more reliable test to explore whether you and your partner are suitable for one another, then you need to find a quiz put together by a trained professional.

A psychologist developed test for compatibility might have hundreds of questions and will delve deeper into the many aspects and determinants of the possible success or failure of your relationship.

Be aware that, unlike the free love match quizzes you find in magazines or dating websites, these kinds of structured and in-depth relationship tests will cost you money.

Types of Relationship Quizzes and Answers.

There are many different kinds of boyfriend–girlfriend quizzes. Here’s a short list of what you can find:

love compatibility tests

love personality tests

sex tests

true love tests

love calculators

crush tests

love match tests

soul-mate tests

horoscope based love tests

love meters

teen-love tests

There is literally a test for every type of love interest. And, just as there are different types of boyfriend girlfriend quizzes, there are a variety of ways you can answer the questions that will determine the results you receive.

For instance, a multiple-choice answer format will have one right answer and several wrong answers. When you have completed the quiz, you’ll be presented with a percentage score – just like in high school!

A selection quiz. Each answer you give will have a certain weighting. For example, answer “A” might gain you 20 points while answer “B” gives you 10 and for answer “C” you get 5. When you’ve completed the test, you’ll find out what “range” you fall into.

Another type of boyfriend girlfriend suitability quiz is called the “Tube Test“. With this set of questions, each of the answers puts you into a “category”. When you add up the test results, the category that you selected the most will be your result.

A ‘Purity Test‘ will let you answer “true or false” questions. Boyfriend girlfriend quizzes of this type let you know just how far you’ve gone in your relationship.

If you weren’t quite sure about relationship quizzes, hopefully the above outline will give you a few more answers. However, let’s get back to the reason for this article about the truth behind boyfriend girlfriend quizzes, or whatever you want to call these love-relationship-compatibility-tests.

Should you believe the results of these quizzes and let them determine the future of your relationship with a boyfriend or girlfriend? In short, the answer is no!

As stated earlier, unless the quiz was developed by a verifiable relationship expert or a psychologist, you need to realize that the vast majority of these tests are written for entertain and amusement value and are designed to be fun. The results you get are not meant to be taken seriously, so don’t read too much into them.

What’s important for you to do is to work out who has developed the quiz and why. And, while most popular magazines or online sites in the love and relationship genre simply publish these quizzes to encourage readership and promote advertising, there’s nothing wrong with that at all! That’s what they do.

To sum up, don’t judge whether or not your romantic relationships will survive or perish based solely on the outcome of boyfriend girlfriend quizzes…You’re a lot smarter than that!
