My husband would agree with these results. He says I'm the perfect woman for him. Too bad he can't stand my kids. Unfortunately, I'm also one of the 5 types of women that men should avoid.

Most of the time I find something to make me very happy in what ever I get involved with . I might not like one thing but I usually find something else just as enjoyable. I also have a game plan if all else fails.

I am usually a self centered and selfish one. But the saying is true that “the older you get, the wiser you become”.
I am surprise with the resultof my test. Does it mean that I am wiser or just getting old..lol. Here it goes:

THE PATIENT PLEASER

You're clearly a loving, understanding, go-along-to-get-along person. But you may want to address whether you're getting as much as you're giving. It may be that you're simply not addressing your own demands. It may be that you yourself are dating someone high-maintenance, even bossy. But whenever there's a hint of disagreement, you're willing to give up your aspirations for love and attention so that the other person can have his or her way

Don't for a second lose your pleasant demeanor. But don't be afraid to push back once in a while with a request for a change or a demand for attention. Even getting into an argument can be healthier in the long run than bottling up your emotions. And you may just find that the other person respects your love more when you stick up for yourself.

I don't think my boyfriend would agree with these results. I don't think I would agree with them either, but perhaps I'm getting better. (I promise, I didn't sit around thinking of what answer I should be picking). I think I'm too passive agressive to have positive results like this - unless "expressing what I want in a relationship" means sitting around pouting and starting to cry while waiting for him to notice, just so I can turn around and act like nothing's wrong.
In all seriousness though, my boyfriend is a fantastic man who is definitely helping me to work beyond that. With our communication and with my knowledge and trust that he won't blow up at me for saying something "wrong" (as my ex often would - even things that weren't negative at all, but he'd take them or deliberately take them the wrong way) - it allows me to relax and open up and actually discuss how I feel about a given situation and talk things out instead of pulling the passive-agressive maneuvers on him.
My Results:

The Thoughtful Juggler

Maybe you're a former drama queen/king who learned to care about the feelings of others. Or maybe you're a former duckling who has blossomed into a swan, and you're no longer afraid to make demands of the other critters who swim in your pond. But you're definitely a juggler—you're capable of sympathizing with the needs of your loved ones, while still being self-assertive enough never to get stepped on.
Kudos to you for being strong and expressing what you want in a relationship! You're definitely not high-maintenance. But you might see what happens if you were to go-it-alone on occasion. Once in a while, ask yourself whether you're trying to get attention rather than fixing a problem that you can easily handle by yourself.

I am too. Thankfully almost every one I have been with, based on their behaviors towards me at least, seem to have been patient pleasers too.

I was described as a Patient Pleaser as well but see my left brained tendencies kick in on these questions so I analyze them to the letter. I said I'd go to the Clam Shack but most places that specialize in a certain type of food like that still have steak and chicken on the menu as well

I'm a Patient Pleaser. A few of the questions didn't really have ther right answer so I picked something close to what I maight do. Like slamming my fingers in the car door, I'd still go in and enjoy the evening as much as possible but be honest with the host about the injury. It also makes for a good icebreaker, turn the unfortunate into a positive. I have a high threshhold for pain so I'm not going to let an amputated finger or two ruin a perfectly good evening. Shared memorable experiences tend to strengthen a relationship.

So, no, I'm not high maintenance. I'm a simple guy with simple tastes.
