Alicia, you've found Mr. Right because You Put Each Other First

You know it's the real deal when you stop thinking just about what you want and start thinking about what he wants, too. After all, a relationship is about two people coming together. And the way you and your guy put each other's needs on an equal level means you're both ready for something more.

That's not to say that you aren't a strong woman with your own ideas about the way things ought to be because you are, and you don't take marriage lightly either. It's just that you've found a great guy who'll always have your back, even if it's his dear, sweet mom you're debating. And nothing's more romantic than that.

Alicia, your OC crush is Ryan


While he's not exactly the boy next door, he sure is a hottie. And you heard it here first: You and Ryan are a match made in OC heaven. Like your feisty and fiery crush, you've probably got a bit of a wild streak that sets you apart from the rest of snooty Newport Beach or anywhere else you happen to hang.

An independent spirit, you're not one to follow in the steps of the herd. No sir. You do your own thing and trust your gut on important matters. Lucky for you, it's usually spot on. And that's what makes you such an awesome addition to the OC or any scene. So, keep staying true to yourself. You're sure to be a star.

Alicia, you're most like Rose

A rose by any other name wouldn't be as sweet — or as funny. So maybe you didn't grow up on a dairy farm in good old St. Olaf, and you don't regale everyone with endless stories of back home. But like Rose Nylund, you've got a heart of gold and are a super sweetheart.

A compassionate and sympathetic soul, you're a great friend who's always willing to lend an ear and a helping hand to your loved ones, strangers, and stray animals alike. The world is a better place because of you. So keep up your good deeds and positive attitude. It's a great addition to any scene.

Alicia, you're a Wavy BBQ Potato Chip

The host with the most, you treat guests like they're family, and you love having people over for good times. Like your signature potato chip, you've got that down-home flavor that makes everyone feel comfortable and welcome.

The traditionalist in you enjoys bringing friends, family, neighbors, and even strangers together. From backyard BBQs to movie nights, your friendly ways make people feel like they're home. What could be more fun?

Alicia, you're like Eric


Welcome to the basement. Like Eric, you're a welcoming and friendly character people call when they want someone to talk to, some advice, or a comfortable place to hang out. You've got a good heart and a good head on your shoulders. A cool pad wouldn't hurt either.

With your practical nature, you don't get too carried away with pie in the sky ideas or fantastical notions like aliens and UFOs. You've got your feet on the ground and your eye on the future. And your finely tuned funny bone leaves people in stitches. So keep inviting people into your life. You'll be sure to have plenty of uproarious good times. Awesome!

Alicia, your lucky charm is a Good Luck Troll!

<img:http://i.emode.com/tests/luckycharm/images/troll_s.gif>

There's something about you that just brightens up a room. It's only fitting that your personal charm is as fun as your good luck charm, the Good Luck Troll.

These pot-bellied, big-eared, wild-haired, naked little creatures can lighten the mood almost as easily as you do. Whether they are perched on the end of a pencil, gazing down from the bookshelf or riding along on the dashboard, these "so-ugly-they're-cute" trolls bring good fortune to those who truly appreciate their power.

Often mentioned in the same breath as Pet Rocks, Sea Monkeys and the Slinky, Good Luck Trolls aren't just another fad rescued from oblivion. They come from the enchanted forests of Norway, where it was believed glimpsing a real troll would yield years of good luck. These miniature imitations are easy to spot and even easier to laugh at. And that's the point: nothing bad can happen when you're laughing.

Your Relationship

<img:http://i.emode.com/images/graphs/range/middle2.gif>
<img:http://i.emode.com/images/graphs/range/bottom.gif>

less doomed              more doomed


Do other people say your relationship makes them feel sick? Ignore them — they're not trying to drop a hint, they're just jealous. And we don't blame them — it looks like your relationship is perfect. So why are you wasting your time taking this test, anyway? You should be with your boyfriend, taking advantage of the passion that's still in full-force.
On a more serious note, the respect and admiration the two of you have for each other makes your relationship a rare find. Not only do you feel a strong romantic connection, but you're also extremely close friends — a truly wonderful combination. Please accept our sincere congratulations, and go enjoy the love you've found!

Alicia, your rad room reveals that you're Trendy

A slick MP3 player? The hottest cool-but-casual jeans? A retro beanbag chair? Whatever your latest fancy, there's no stone unturned when it comes to the newest styles and trendiest offerings. While others prefer coziness, your comfort zone is more about mod.

You might be a clotheshorse, a tech head, or a design guru, but whatever your passion, you enjoy staying on the cutting edge. So when the fashionista or hip cat in you needs to unwind, there's not a trendier spot for relaxation and inspiration than the one where you lay your head.

3 - 6 Points:
Lukewarm lover
When it comes to your man, you definitely have your moments of frustration -- who doesn't? -- but you're not in immediate danger of cheating. That said, now is the time to examine your relationship to ensure that any feelings of dissatisfaction don't lead you recklessly into the arms of another. And remember not to use your man as the scapegoat for all your woes, as many unfaithful women do. Ask yourself: Am I bored with him, or bored with life? Only you know the difference.

Free and happy
You really have got happiness down to a fine art. You've got a brilliant approach to life.

At the core of your approach is the understanding that if you're not happy, then it's down to you to sort it out. There are things you can do about it - changing the way you think, feel or the way you handle your problems. You have the confidence and self-belief never to simply accept misery as a way of life.

You believe in yourself and your ability to get through things. You're not smug, but at peace with the real you.

It could be, of course, that you aren't 100 per cent sorted in all areas of your life - work, play and love - and that's natural. Or it could be that you lack some happiness skills, such as goal setting or managing your emotions.

Alicia, the first color you chose reveals that you're feeling Self-aware today.

For centuries, colors have been known for their energizing, calming and empowering qualities. In schools of psychology, a leading color theory suggests that your color preferences can also indicate what's on your subconscious mind. From your choices, here's what we found out about you. Like other people who choose Green first, you probably have a good understanding of your personal strengths and challenges. The fact that you chose Green first also indicates that others probably see you as self-possessed and insightful about your own motivations and needs.

How rare is this color choice? 9% test takers also chose Green first, but less than 0.10% of test-takers share your exact 8-color sequence.

Find out what the other colors you chose say about

Alicia, you're a Shark!

You've got a healthy love of life and a killer instinct. Chances are you hate rules, and don't plan on getting old. You're flexible and friendly on top of being innovative and smart. In short, people respect you.

You're extroverted and love being in the spotlight. Your mantra is "work hard, play hard" — you live life to the limit.

And that's just scratching the surface!

Alicia, your heart's desire is Public Service and Education

You have a number of attributes that make you an excellent candidate for a public service or education-related career. Your life is all about helping others and making a difference, so if your current job does not allow you to make a contribution as part of a team, you're likely to be very unhappy. Your especially empathetic and good at listening to others, so others trust you to lead since they know you're dedicated to doing what's best for the whole.

If you're currently not in a public service field and are unhappy with your current situation, it's likely that you're not living your life's purpose. Until you get yourself back on track, the life you dream of may never arrive.

What exactly does this 'dream job' look like? The answer lies in the combination of visions that you have for each of your 5-second lives. If you can find a way to creatively combine the various attributes of each of your dream lifetimes into one career in this lifetime, you'll be well on your way to fulfilling your heart's desire.

Paranoid: High
Schizoid: Low
Schizotypal: Moderate
Antisocial: Moderate 
Borderline: Very High
Histrionic: Low
Narcissistic: Low
Avoidant: Moderate
Dependent: High
Obsessive-Compulsive: Moderate 



*Paranoid personality disorder is characterized by a distrust of others and a constant suspicion that people around you have sinister motives. People with this disorder tend to have excessive trust in their own knowledge and abilities and usually avoid close relationships. They search for hidden meanings in everything and read hostile intentions into the actions of others. They are quick to challenge the loyalties of friends and loved ones and often appear cold and distant. They usually shift blame to other people and tend to carry long grudges.

*People with schizoid personality disorder avoid relationships and do not show much emotion. Unlike avoidants, schizoids genuinely prefer to be alone and do not secretly wish for popularity. They tend to seek jobs that require little social contact. Their social skills are often weak and they do not show a need for attention or acceptance. They are perceived by others as humorless and distant and often are termed "loners."

*Many believe that schizotypal personality disorder represents mild schizophrenia. The disorder is characterized by odd forms of thinking and perceiving, and individuals with this disorder often seek isolation from others. They sometimes believe to have extra sensory ability or that unrelated events relate to them in some important way. They generally engage in eccentric behavior and have difficulty concentrating for long periods of time. Their speech is often over elaborate and difficult to follow.

*A common misconception is that antisocial personality disorder refers to people who have poor social skills. The opposite is often the case. Instead, antisocial personality disorder is characterized by a lack of conscience. People with this disorder are prone to criminal behavior, believing that their victims are weak and deserving of being taken advantage of. Antisocials tend to lie and steal. Often, they are careless with money and take action without thinking about consequences. They are often agressive and are much more concerned with their own needs than the needs of others.

*Borderline personality disorder is characterized by mood instability and poor self-image. People with this disorder are prone to constant mood swings and bouts of anger. Often, they will take their anger out on themselves, causing injury to their own body. Suicidal threats and actions are not uncommon. Borderlines think in very black and white terms and often form intense, conflict-ridden relationships. They are quick to anger when their expectations are not met.

*People with histrionic personality disorder are constant attention seekers. They need to be the center of attention all the time, often interrupting others in order to dominate the conversation. They use grandiose language to discribe everyday events and seek constant praise. They may dress provacatively or exaggerate illnesses in order to gain attention. Histrionics also tend to exaggerate friendships and relationships, believing that everyone loves them. They are often manipulative.

*Narcissistic personality disorder is characterized by self-centeredness. Like histrionic disorder, people with this disorder seek attention and praise. They exaggerate their achievements, expecting others to recongize them as being superior. They tend to be choosy about picking friends, since they believe that not just anyone is worthy of being their friend. Narcissists tend to make good first impressions, yet have difficulty maintaining long-lasting relationships. They are generally uninterested in the feelings of others and may take advantage of them.

*Avoidant personality disorder is characterized by extreme social anxiety. People with this disorder often feel inadequate, avoid social situations, and seek out jobs with little contact with others. Avoidants are fearful of being rejected and worry about embarassing themselves in front of others. They exaggerate the potential difficulties of new situations to rationalize avoiding them. Often, they will create fantasy worlds to substitute for the real one. Unlike schizoid personality disorder, avoidants yearn for social relations yet feel they are unable to obtain them. They are frequently depressed and have low self-confidence.

*Dependent personality disorder is characterized by a need to be taken care of. People with this disorder tend to cling to people and fear losing them. They may become suicidal when a break-up is imminent. They tend to let others make important decisions for them and often jump from relationship to relationship. Dependents often remain in abusive relationships. Over-sensitivity to disapproval is common. Dependents often feel helpless and depressed.

*Obsessive-Compulsive personality disorder is similar to obsessive-compulsive anxiety disorder. People with this disorder are overly focused on orderliness and perfection. Their need to do everything "right" often interferes with their productivity. They tend to get caught up in the details and miss the bigger picture. They set unreasonably high standards for themselves and others, and tend to be very critical of others when they do not live up to these high standards. They avoid working in teams, believing others to be too careless or incompetent. They avoid making decisions because they fear making mistakes and are rarely generous with their time or money. They often have difficulty expressing emotion.
