Complementary Needs Theory: Test Which Kind of Man You Match Best

1. Theoretical basis: two classic intimate relationship theories

This test is developed based on two intimate relationship theories recognized in psychology -Complementary Needs TheoryandSimilarity-Attraction Modeldeveloped. These two theories, through decades of empirical research, are the core basis for interpreting the compatibility between the sexes.

Complementary Needs Theory: people are attracted to traits they lack but that make up for their own weaknesses; two people whose personalities, needs, and abilities complement each other are more likely to build a long-term stable intimate relationship.

Similarity-Attraction Model: people with similar values, life attitudes, and core cognition are more likely to resonate and reduce conflict, which is an important basis for a lasting and harmonious relationship.

The best intimate relationship issimilar core values + complementary personality needscombined together.
