CONCLUSIONS

BIG T-TYPE

In life… you’re an all-round thrill-seeker. Whether you’re the homely sort or not, you’d rather be out doing something exciting (dangerous even) than in baking cakes. You’re an adrenalin addict and need constant excitement in order to feel that life is worth living. You prefer bright lights and noise to peace and quiet; a freelance career to a regular 9-to-5. You’re fearless, intense (some would say crazy) and independent. You have life-threatening hobbies and probably not very much money!

In love… you prefer wild, unpredictable lovers to trustworthy stable ones and your love-life, although far from dull, may not be entirely satisfactory. Although you could well be addicted to the thrill of the chase, some psychologists claim that Big T-Types are rarely addicted to love. They reckon that such types actually thrive on novelty, variety and change, whereas love addicts tend to re-live the same relationships over and over again.

Beware of…

* Thinking everyone else needs as much excitement as you do and thinking they’re boring if they don’t.

* Your need for thrills getting you into trouble.

* Ending up penniless, in trouble or in jail!

* Accidentally killing yourself!

LITTLE T-TYPE

In life… you’re a thrill-seeker, but not in a big way. You might take romantic risks, but that doesn’t mean you’re going to want to spend your weekends bungee-jumping! Your not as physical as the Big T-Type (see above) and aren’t prepared to risk your life for a sport. The same goes for money: you wouldn’t subject yourself to being short of cash just because you hate your weekend job, preferring instead to get something else sorted before leaving it all behind.

In love… you’re a thrill-seeker extraordinaire and have had your fair share of crazy affairs and weird and wonderful romantic scenarios. You not only need an exciting and broadminded partner, but one who is as zany and thrill-seeking as you are. When you find them, you’ll make a thrilling, if not inconstant, lover.

Beware of…

* Letting money rule your life.

* Hurting other people.

* Expecting too much from your partner.

* Being too unpredictable for your own good.

A-TYPE

In life… you’re a risk avoider with a capital A (hence the title A-Type), and to you, avoiding taking any sort of risk is your own personal recipe for happiness. You need security, certainty and structure in your life and if you don’t get it, you can feel very unsettled indeed. You don’t need to climb Mount Everest to make you feel whole; in fact, taking your life (or your money) in your hands for the sake of a few cheap thrills really isn’t your idea of fun at all.

In love… you don’t need to have slept with hundreds of people to prove you’re attractive. And you don’t need to be constantly ensconced in a relationship to make you feel like a complete person. It’s not that you’re unromantic, it’s just that you’re independent and strong enough to be able to survive without regular helpings of romance. Once in a relationship, though, you’re faithful, reliable, generous and thoughtful.

Beware of…

* Thinking you’re boring. If you’re happy being an A-type, there’s no reason for you to change.

* Being frightened by change – some things have to change in order to progress.

* Worrying about chaos; everyone needs an element of disorder in their lives – even you!

* Being afraid to express your feelings.
