While speed dating may provide an efficient method of meeting potential partners, a recent study published by the American Psychological Association found that couples are more likely to remain together if they share personality traits. Personality characteristics are difficult to observe or assess in a five-minute speed dating situation. EQSQ.com's personality quizzes measure a person's "EQ" and "SQ," or the ability to empathize and systemize. Knowledge of these two quotients may be helpful to individuals choosing an education program or deciding upon a career. Compatibility of these two personality traits may also be an indicator for a successful relationship. (PRWeb Feb 14, 2007)
