There are a lot of quizzes on the Internet that aim to analyze your relationship. They want to tell you how compatible you are with your boyfriend, and they want to tell you how good of a boyfriend or girlfriend you have. Some quizzes will even try and show you signs that your boyfriend or girlfriend is cheating on you. But these types of quizzes can cause nothing but problems in your relationship and should be avoided at all costs.

Below I will outline 4 major reasons why you should avoid these quizzes when you are in a relationship.

They Make You Paranoid

You might not realize it when you take the quize, but they can actually make you paranoid about your relationship. The biggest problem with these types of quizzes is that they can ask questions that will cause you to question the motives and actions of your significant other as well as your relationshiip. And unfortunately, many of these quizzes make these assertions without any proof. The real danger here is that you may start to believe that your relationship isn't as good as it could be simply because of bad advice from an online quiz.

They're Not Specific Enough

These types of quizzes are not detailed enough to give you the advice you really need. They usually ask broad questions that don't indicate a positive or negative outcome for the user. And their generalizations could hurt your views of your relationship, and for no good reason.

Relationships are Unique

It is important to understand that each and every relationship is unique. The connection that you have with your boyfriend or girlfriend is a completely different connection than you have with anyone else. Relationships are unique, and should be viewed and analyzed as such. So when you rely on a quiz that is full of generalizations to analyze your relationship and how good it is, you rely on something that is not taking your unique relationship and connection into account. Remember, your relationship is too unique to be thrown in with simple relationship generalizations.

It Lowers Your Trust

Many people find that online relationship quizzes actually lowers their trust in their significant other which causes problems that wern't there to begin with. For example if you start to see quizzes that talk about cheating boyfriends or girlfriends, you may begin to question the loyalty in your own relationship. And suddenly, problems that never existed to begin with start to surface. You should trust that you understand your boyfriend or girlfriend, and that they are being open and honest with you. If you truly believe that your boyfriend or girlfriend is faithful and loyal, you will find little to no need for these types of quizzes or tests.

You may turn to boyfriend/girlfriend quizzes for advice for your relationship. These quizzes should actually be the last place that you would look for relationship advice. It is ok to be confused about your relationship; simply talk to family and friends about your relationship and how you feel about your significant other. The words of advice and encouragement that they can provide will be more thoughtful, personalized, and realistic than any advice you would receive from these types of quizzes.
