Are you and your partner a perfect match? Take this quiz to find out
Take this quiz to discover whether you and your partner are truly compatible. The quiz follows research revealing four in 10 confess their partner is not 'their type on paper' but say they are happy in their relationship anyway, with two thirds of couples believing 'opposites attract'.
Nine out of ten reckon their partner possesses at least one fundamental personality trait that's completely different to their own. The most frequent clashing characteristics were body temperature, with one person perpetually chilly whilst the other runs warm, and financial habits, with one being thrifty while their partner loves to splash the cash.
A representative for Tim Tam, which commissioned the research to unveil its new Sweet & Salty biscuit, said: "It is surprising to see just how many couples feel they're not totally in sync with the person they're with.
"This can come in many different forms," they continued, "from what football teams you support to what you like to eat for dinner on a Sunday night.
"Compromise is often the name of the game, whether that's in what activities you do or what you eat – so our Sweet & Salty biscuit is hopefully going to help save some arguments."
Other areas in which partners most differ included social life (35 percent), cleanliness (32 percent) and communication approaches (32 percent. ) Some participants even revealed one partner adores Christmas, whilst the other remains a complete 'Grinch'.
Just one fifth believed they shared political views with their other half. Meanwhile, 28 percent frequently disagree over food preferences.
However, a third declared they and their beloved are 'alike in all the right ways', with 66 percent stating that having differences 'keeps things interesting'.
The representative for Tim Tam, which is unveiling its limited-edition Sweet & Salty biscuit exclusively at Tesco, added: "Being with someone who sees the world differently, has different strengths, or approaches life in another way can bring fresh perspectives into a relationship.
"It encourages both partners to grow, challenge assumptions, and learn from one another. When two people are different, they often complement each other in unexpected ways.
"These contrasts can help strike a balance and create a dynamic that works uniquely for them."

These days, as you head in to do your weekly food shop you can also pick up a selection of purse-friendly, stylish pieces for all the family.

Apart from the clothing actually being affordable, it's good quality too - with many being part of schemes such as the Better Cotton Initiative.

Flatteringly flowy and cool and too nice to just be saved for holidays!" "Very comfortable to wear. May buy another one to put away for my holiday!' claimed a fifth Someone else added: "Fits perfectly. Lovely and soft, comfortable and flowy. Gorgeous pattern details. I call it my Lobster Dress."

Tesco's copycat waterproof is selling for £30 less than John Lewis – it's stylish, hooded & perfect for festival season
Tesco made a major change to F&F clothing in May BY GEORGE! Tesco's copycat waterproof is selling for £30 less than John Lewis – it's stylish, hooded & perfect for festival season Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) TESCO shoppers are racing to bag a stylish waterproof jacket that looks just like a designer version from John Lewis - but for £30 less. The hooded coat is perfect for festival season, keeping you dry without skimping on style. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 2 Tesco's take on the waterproof makes the supermarket a no-brainer for bargain hunters who still want to stay stylish in the rain Credit: Tesco Rain or shine, it's the perfect addition to your summer wardrobe - without the posh price tag. PRODUCT DETAILS This shower-resistant poncho is built for Britain's unpredictable weather – with a buttoned front and elasticated cuffs to keep you dry on the go. The longline fit adds extra coverage and style, making it the perfect throw-on for festivals, park days or last-minute dashes to the shop. It's lightweight, packs down easily, and gives major high-street vibes without the hefty price tag. With its A-line shape and floaty sleeves, this water-resistant cape doesn't just keep you dry – it looks good doing it. The popper fastenings make it easy to throw on in a downpour, and it's 100% polyester and machine washable. It comes in classic black or on-trend khaki – and it's a steal at just £17. Festival-proof, fashion-forward and budget-friendly – what's not to love? I'm a size 14 and did the best Tesco summer haul - run before new co-ord sells out HOW DOES IT COMPARE TO DESIGNERS John Lewis has a near-identical cape in navy – though it'll set you back £47. That's £30 more than Tesco's take, making the supermarket steal a no-brainer for bargain hunters who still want to stay stylish in the rain. Tesco's cape is made from polyester, while John Lewis uses nylon – but when it comes to keeping dry, both do the job. Polyester offers a lightweight, breathable feel, while nylon is known for being a touch more durable. But at a massive £30 less, Tesco's version still comes out on top for style and savings. ONLINE CHANGE Tesco made a major change to F&F clothing in May. The UK's biggest supermarket has officially re-launched the clothing brand online for the first time in seven years. Shoppers were first able to buy the F&F range on a separate site from 2009 before it was moved onto Tesco Direct in 2016. However, it was ditched in 2018. Customers could still buy items from the collection through Next until this January, until it stopped stocking the range. Tesco shoppers can now pick up F&F-branded clothes via and the supermarket's Grocery and Clubcard app. If you don't have the app you can download it for free from the Apple App Store or Google Play. The collection includes women's, men's and kids' clothing, as well as footwear and accessories. Shoppers looking to pick up F&F items online will have to pay a £3.99 home delivery fee on all orders. How has Tesco's F&F upped its game By Fabulous' Fashion Editor Clemmie Fieldsend ZARA has become a high street staple in recent years thanks to its hot-off-the-catwalk designs and affordable prices. But recently those prices have risen with the brand's popularity. However, if you are looking for high fashion inspired outfits with low price tags you needn't drag yourself to your local shops, just head to the supermarket instead. F&F has come a long way from selling a few backs of T-shirts and fluffy dressing gowns and is now a must have shopping destination for thousands. They produce good quality, long lasting and on trend clothes that puts others to shame. F&F is filled with Zara dupes and other looks inspired by our favourite shops that will set you back less than £50 - and you can get them while you pick up your dinner. I for one love F&F denim, it's durable, fits really well and has all the best silhouettes. So even if you're not looking for reasonable prices but just want good clothes, get yourself to Tesco.
