So, if you have a series of existing identikit, it is likely that you are not alone.

For research, social psychologists at the University of Toronto used data from an ongoing German study on families and romantic relationships and then compared the personalities of current and past partners to 332 people.

Each answered questions about his personality traits related to friendliness, consciousness, extroversion, neuroticism, openness to the experience and how they behaved in relationships, allowing researchers to assess the similarity between a participant's current partner and his ex.

The results revealed "a significant degree of distinctive partner similarity, suggesting that there might indeed be a unique type of person with which each individual would end up".

Seeming to suggest that we do not really tend to move away from the box type when it comes to looking for a new partner.

Either that, or we really do not learn our lesson.

"The degree of consistency from one relationship to the other suggests that people can actually have a" guy, "says study coauthor, Geoff MacDonald, a professor in the department of psychology at the University of Toronto. University of Toronto.

"And although our data does not indicate why people's partners display similar personalities, it should be noted that we found a similarity of partner that exceeds that of oneself."

Why do we choose the same type of person over and over again?

Although the results can not explain precisely why we do this, researchers have formulated some theories.

To begin, they point out that previous research has revealed that we tend to turn to people who look like us.

It therefore seems logical that our partners are very similar, because they look like us.

But after considering this in their research, the results revealed that a person's current and past partners were similar to each other, in a way that was not alike.

Another possible explanation might be that we can only really go to the people around us physically. It follows that these people will probably have similarities in terms of potential from a similar region, and so on.

But before you tell yourself that you are still in the future, because of your tendency to be with the same type of person over and over again, the researchers believe that their findings could actually offer ways to maintain healthy relationships and happy couples.

"In every relationship, people learn strategies to work with their partner's personality," says Park.

"If your new partner's personality is similar to that of your ex-partner, transferring the skills you've learned could be an effective way to start a new relationship on a good foundation."

On the other hand, you might find negative ways of managing your partner's personality, which could be transferred to your next couple relationship.

The researchers therefore believe that more research is needed to determine how much an ex-like person is an advantage and how inconvenient this might be.

"So, if you find that you are having the same relationship after relationship problems, you may want to think about how the attractiveness of the same personality traits in a partner contributes to the consistency of your problems," says Main author Yoobin Park.
