You are very sociable and outgoing; at a holiday party, you approach a quiet young woman standing alone in the corner. To break the ice, you discuss a number of “safe” topics: what the winter will be like, what new television shows are worth watching, and what books you’ve been reading lately. You both see eye-to-eye on a lot. After the conversation, you like the young woman. Based on a large number of social-psychological experiments, why is that so?
a.   You are an extrovert, she is an introvert, and opposites attract.
b.   We tend to be attracted to people who hold similar attitudes.
c.   We tend to like people who agree on minor points, but disagree on major points.
d.   Because you agreed on so much, the functional distance between you was low.
