Gap pattern

What You See Is What You Get: When your public play style and private desires barely differ

“What You See Is What You Get” is one of SM Personal Test's gap patterns between your Public face (the play style others see) and your Hidden face (the desire you feel). It describes what happens when your public play style and private desires barely differ.

What is this pattern?

The play style you show in public and the desires you feel when you are alone point in almost the same direction. If you look like someone who would turn up with a crop, you want the crop; if a collar looks like it would suit you, you want the collar. Your kink is exactly what it looks like, so partners can read you quickly and things move fast. With no character to keep up, you are refreshingly honest about what you want. The catch: you are so easy to read that people may see your next move coming.

Tips for living with it

Having your public and hidden faces line up is a real advantage when looking for a match. Even so, stepping off your usual menu now and then, adding just one toy or role you have never tried, might uncover a spot you never knew you had, with your partner on board and a safeword in place, of course.

How it is detected

You fall into this pattern when none of the four axes switches direction between public and hidden faces, and none of the differences in strength is large enough to count as a sway. Given the measurement error, whatever difference there is stays within the range of chance.

What is your kink type?

From ordinary personality questions, we expose your Public face (the play style others see) and your Hidden face (the craving you keep to yourself) on the same axes. Holding the rope or tied up in it? Doing the teasing or begging for it? Adults only (18+), free, no sign-up, about 3 minutes for the quick test.
