    "you are 22.5% smaller than you think you are"

    ... and I still don't believe it. Even though I did it twice.

    12.5% smaller than you think you are. I've lost almost a stone and am having trouble trying to dress for my new shape - I'm not sure what I'm seeing in the mirror and in my head is the truth. This was an interesting thing to see - thanks!

    Oddly Enough, I'm exactly the same as what I think I am. I guess being in this body for 4 years now I've gotten used to me...LOL

    I'm a perfect pear. Which actually was no surprise. The big surprise was I'm apparently 30% smaller than I think I am. I've lost 25lbs since the beginning of the year, so my brain obviously still hasn't caught up with what it sees in the mirror. Which explains why when I try stuff on, it's always too big.

    I was 7.5% smaller than the body I chose....
    and apparently I'm pear shaped. (I'm the first body apparently)

    Me too, which I'm still finding hard to believe to be honest.

    it takes the head a long time catching up with the body - I've been maintaining my loss for 3 years and I still catch myself in mirrors and think, wow that's actually me!

    A perception "test"... The link just takes you to a catalog page.

    Hmm ... it appears that Marisota has moved it. That's too bad.

    You could try this one: http://shopyourshape.com/calculate-your-body-shape/

    But it tells me my body shape is unavailable.

    Maybe someone else can find Marisota's link or one like it?

    removed my link to another test.. it was not even the close to the same test..sorry :(

    I went to this http://www.theupcoming.co.uk/2013/08/03/marisota-reveal-your-real-body-shape/ where the Marisota test was also linked at it took you to the online store.

    I am wondering if they did not get good results using that test for their marketing and took it down.. I remember doing the test a while ago.. I can't find another test like it.
