| Background |
When you are young, forming romantic relations is often effortless and Spontaneous. As you get older, dating gets harder. Your friends seem to be paired up, the world can seem to be full of couples and you seem to meet fewer potential partners. What was once effortless and spontaneous can seem daunting. |
| What the test measures |
The DSQ assesses attitudes towards romantic relationships, personality characteristics that affect your dating behaviour and specific sets of skills that will help you be more successful in forming romantic relationships. |
| Theory behind the test |
Research indicates that there are four groups of critical success factors in dating: romantic ideals; personality traits such as extraversion and empathy; conversational skills; and, specific skill sets such as finding dates, asking for a date, flirting and sexual intimacy. |
