Kitty Powers' Matchmaker Personality Questions

So hello again! I have had this blog post idea for quite some time, but I have never allowed the idea to come into fruition because I honestly could not be bothered to restart my game and I could not find the questions online anywhere (for some strange reason!), so inevitably this post has been put on the back-burner. Last night, I decided that I would find some way to accomplish this blog post, so that I can feel better about myself and move on with my life. (Yes, these are the kinds of things that keep me up at night). Anyway, I am going to explain what Kitty Powers' Matchmaker is in case you aren't familiar with the game and then I will tell you a little bit about the personality questions she asks you when you start the game. I hope you guys enjoy this blog because I think personality things are a lot of fun and interesting to think about. Not to mention, this game is unbelievably fun.


What is this game?! So I have been playing this game for roughly two or three years now I guess. Google says it released in 2014, so I guess I was a little late for the hype. The game is listed as a dating simulator, so if that's not your cup of tea then you might not enjoy the game, but I love the game because it is a combination of expansion game style with fun minigames interspersed with a cute art style. Also, you get to play a matchmaker and control other people's love lives, and you guys know I love me some control games (e.g. The Sims). If this sounds like something you would love (which I totally wouldn't blame you if you did) then you can buy the game on Steam as well as an app for Apple or Android. I am not sure if the game is available on other platforms, but I just played the app version and I didn't feel like I was missing out on anything.

The Personality Part 
When you start the game, Kitty Powers introduces herself and she, of course, introduces you to the game. As with most games, you start off creating your own avatar and you have the potential to have your avatar be featured in other peoples' games as a client, so that's where the personality questions come in. Each character game falls into a certain standard out of these five categories: activity, organization, social, tradition, and spiciness. The point of the game is to match people up with people based on where they fall into these categories. Another neat aspect of the game is that you can start to figure out how the dating sessions are going to go based on what you know about the characters' personality. I think the game labels the mini games in the dating session as dating dilemmas. 

Now, this gets us to the main point of this blog. I thought it would be interesting to answer the questions and tell you guys where I stand based on the Kitty Power's Matchmaker personality questionnaire and then you guys can also tell me where you stand as well. As a side note, I highly recommend the game as well because it is a lot of fun and highly addictive I might add. Without further ado, I will write out the questions in the order they appear in game and then I will tell you guys my answers, then at the end I will explain where I fall into these categories. 

*Disclaimer: I am not sure if these questions are the same for every game started. I assume that they are, but the game does have a lot of different questions they could ask for categorizing the different personalities, so some of the questions might be randomly generated. This is not a theory I tested. ALSO, I did not write down and answer the spiciness category questions, but I will tell you guys where I stand in the ranking, so you can probably piece together how I answered the questions anyway. ALSO, I Americanize the spelling just because it's what I am used to and it would have taken me longer to go back and make sure I spelled things properly, so I take the path of least resistance. ALSO, there are probably some typos.* 

Category 1: Activity--Active or Relaxed 
1. If you had to have a pet, would you rather...
a dog that needs lots of walks 
      OR
✔ a cat that just needs feeding
2. You have to dig a hole. Would you rather...
get a spade and start digging 
     OR
✔ pay someone else to do it
3. When meeting up with friends would you rather...
play a game in the park 
     OR
✔ have coffee in a cafe

Category 2: Organization--Methodical or Carefree
1. When it comes to pets do you...
never let them on the sofa
     OR
✔ let them sleep in bed with you
2. When at the zoo do you...
✔ make sure you see every animal
     OR
wander around aimlessly
3. When surfing the internet do you...
✔ make specific searches 
     OR
browse casually for hours 

Category 3: Social--Introvert or Extrovert
1. When at a party, do you...
✔ sit in the corner looking at your phone
     OR
mingle with everybody
2. When you're out shopping do you...
✔ like to be left to browse
     OR
like to be helped by the staff 
3. On an evening out, do you prefer...
✔ a quiet pub
     OR
a packed nightclub

Category 4: Tradition--Traditional or Experimental
1. As far as games go, would you rather...
play a board game
     OR
✔ play video games 
2. When you visit a gallery do you prefer...
✔ pretty watercolor landscapes
     OR
challenging avante-garde art
3. When buying book would you rather...
✔ look round a secondhand bookshop
    OR
download e-books onto a tablet

Category 5: Spiciness--Romantic or Spicy
I will leave these questions as a mystery (teehee)

Okay, so based on my answers to the above questions (the ones with the check marks beside them) and also, what I already know from the last category I fall into this aspect of the five categories: relaxed, methodical, introvert, traditional, and spicy. I have got to say, that seems pretty spot on to me. I might argue that I could very well cross over to active and experimental depending on the questions asked, but again, I waver so much on these terms that I could justify being placed into either category. 

Thanks for reading guys and have a great weekend!
