Since I clearly haven’t posted enough quizzes lately (sarc.), here is the Jealousy test. It’s longish. My score was much lower than I expected, and that was gratifying. Of course, the issue here is that it measures your relationship as much as it does any innate tendencies. The reason my score was so low, I suspect, has less to do with my natural tendencies toward jealously, and much more to do with the fact that I have a mate worth trusting.
I suspect, for example, that if they asked whether the respondent was thinking of their spouse or their current girl/boyfriend, they would find that there was a difference in the average jealousy between these two groups. Likewise, I suspect that if they asked how long the relationship had lasted (Jamie and I have been together more than 11 years), the amount of jealousy would be inversely proportionate. Maybe I’m wrong on both of those, but I wonder why they didn’t ask. In any case, my score on their scale seems not to be the best indicator without disaggregating these other factors.

I have to say that as bad as my score was, I’m not surprised…I’m very green. Maybe it’s because I’m Irish, hmmm….
