The IKEA test

The Ikea Test






So over my spring break my best friend Jada and I decided to go on an IKEA date! If you don't already know, an "IKEA" is a huge Swedish furniture store/ restaurant that's stupidly popular in the hipster state that is Colorado. It's just a very nice place to hangout despite the fact that all you do is look at furniture... the food is pretty good though :)


Anyway, we were there and we saw my thespian friend there with her boyfriend after they were done looking around the store... and they were holding hands and cracking jokes and doing generally cute couple stuff. This was VERY shocking because typically couples who emerge from IKEA are either A.) Not talking to each other... B.) Straight up fighting... or C.) Being carried out on stretchers. (This is an exaggeration of course- but seriously it's ridiculous what people are like when they leave IKEA with their significant other).


THIS is how the IKEA test was born. Basically the, IKEA test is a relationship test that states "If you can safety shop in an IKEA with your significant other and still be head over heals for them after you're done shopping then you are most likely going to be a successful couple." We're not entirely sure what the psychology is behind this phenomenon... maybe the "long-terminess" of furniture or the way the store is set up to look like a little home for your future families... but either way the test works almost every time. We are the future.






THE END.
