Meet the Patels on PBS Presents a Love Quiz!

December 20, 2016 by Independent Lens in Test Your Knowledge

Keeping with the “looking for love” theme of the documentary Meet the Patels, we present you with a fun quiz that will tell you where you will most likely find true love! Even if you’re already “taken,” we think you’ll still enjoy taking this quiz. Results are meticulously formulated and yet.. may not be scientifically accurate.

Notes on the Quiz:

More insight on the animal choices: Did you know that red pandas are solitary animals that prefer hanging out on their own except when looking to mate? Leopards are similar; they’re pretty self-sufficient, including as hunters.  Orcas like to travel with their families. Dolphins famously are good to their friends (and even to humans!) And, hey, purebred dogs and horses continue their lineage with the help of “matchmakers” (okay, breeders).

On the subject of famous people you aspire to be or relate to, did you know that Lionel Messi met the love of his life when they were both kids? Several years older, she’s the cousin of one of his best friends and he fell for her the first moment he saw her. Allison Janney has been happily single for many years. Awkwafina has kept her longtime boyfriend private, but has written and spoken about the travails of dating (including this advice video). Modern Family star Jesse Tyler Ferguson and his lawyer boyfriend, Justin Mikita, used a video supporting marriage equality to announce their engagement in 2012. In the clip for the foundation Tie the Knot, Jesse said, “It’s true, I popped the big Q.” And Justin replied, “I said yes!” They married in July 2013 [via PopSugar].  Meanwhile, there’s a documentary about how Michelle Obama met President Barack Obama. Marvelous singer Celine Dion first was introduced to her future (and now sadly late) husband and manager René Angélil through Celine’s brother, who’d sent Angélil a demo tape (she was 12 and he was 38 at the time, but love knows no bounds!) Justin Timberlake met his wife actress Jessica Biel through mutual friends.

The point is, whatever your quiz results may be, people meet their romantic matches in all sorts of ways. If you have a partner, how did you meet? Let us know in the comments below!
