Dating Eligibility Test

Just been listening to this on the radio. It's a 10 category test in which you "find out" your perceived dating eligibility value. You're then meant to rate people you fancy/possible dates and if their score is +/- 2 from yours then it's more likely to work out.
Hope that makes sense!
Thought it would be fun to try it here :).

Here's the 10 categories, mark yourself out of 10 and then give us your final score :D
Perceived attractiveness (how attractive others think you are)
Perceived wealth (how wealthy others think you are)
Perceived personality/how fun you are/social engagement (how fun others think you are)
Perceived social desirability (whether you're someone that people always want to invite to their gatherings/parties/etc).
Perceived style (how stylish other people think you are)
IQ
Emotional intelligence (how in control of emotions you are/how emotionally self aware you are)
Perceived kindness/generosity
How rebellious you are (unconventionality)
Perceived social liability (baggage)
N.B. The last category should be a case of the lower the better, thus lowering your final score. So if you have low baggage give yourself a higher score, and if you have lots of baggage then give yourself a lower score for that category.

10 is the lowest possible total, 100 is the highest. I scored 65.

Umm... That test doesn't make tooo much sense, you know?
How should I possibly know how others perceive me :?:
As a safe default value, I guess I average ten. :P

Mmm interesting idea. Like you I would like to think I scored in the 60s ...

Perhaps it would be more fun to score each other? :twisted:

And it'd make more sense too I guess! Hard to score yourself, I think most would either over- or underestimate themselves.

OK, bearing in mind that I've never met any of my illustrious peers in the real world, I'll venture a 90 for Sinsister as I have seen a photo of her, she is undoubtedly a genius and most importantly she is our Hostess with the Mostest ... :wink:

I was going to put forth a zero for myself on all counts, actually. ;)

Then again, I'm not really interested in how others perceive me, as I consider their opinions to be generally irrelevant.

By the way, flattery will get you nowhere, sir. :von:
