A Loser WE'RE SORRY, BUT YOU HAVE NO PERSONALITY



Is it possible to fail a personality test from an online dating service? Apparently, it is:
Nik Bosyk considers himself a decent catch. The six-foot-four, blue-eyed voice-actor makes great calamari, likes sappy movies, and never forgets birthdays. But after a recent dating dry spell, the 25-year-old swallowed his pride and turned to the refuge of the semi-desperate: online dating. "It seemed like you were guaranteed to meet someone," he says.



He was wrong. After completing a mandatory 40-minute personality test on the match-making site eHarmony.com, Mr. Bosyk experienced the latest -- and arguably most extreme -- form of courtship humiliation: He was rejected by an online dating service.



"I was stunned," says Mr. Bosyk, who apparently failed the personality test. "Is that even possible?"
