I'm pretty sure there used to be a free MyersBriggs test available online.

There's loads of them.

Although I don't take it massively seriously it can really help me get my head round why some people behave in a way that seems quite irrational from my point of view.

Seriously, every thread where someone doesn't like something their partner does ends with people asking why they're together. No one is perfect, everyone gets annoyed with things other people do sometimes! No relationship would ever last if people split up over everything they disagree about.

I don't really have any advice anyway, I'm definitely one of the ' if you don't like it do it yourself' crowd. I do almost everything because I only do it again if OH does it. Says more about me than him I think!

I knew nothing about it until a girl I knew said "Do this test, I think you're an INTP" She was right. Reading the description of the type it's scarily accurate, and it was the first time I realised there were other people that thought and reacted like me.

Only solution is to live alone.

No phsycometric tests or compatibility tests needed either. LOL.

Sorry, just being a bit cynical here.

Why do women fall in love with someone, then try to change everything about them?

Why do men fall in love with someone then treat them like an unpaid maid and refuse to do their fair share of the domestic chores?

No, but then you just get annoyed with yourself because the house is a shed. Even though it's your own fault in the first place.

Why is there all this fuss abut housework anyway? People have different ideas of what is acceptable. If you really can't find a happy medium, then the 'fussy' one will have to resign themselves to doing it themselves.

Well, because it needs to be done, and despite it being 2016 women generally still do far far more than their fair share in most opposite sex couples, and loads of them are tearing their hair out absolutely desperate for the men they live with to take a bit of responsibility for it!
