Discredited personality tests will not find you a mate
1) Research from Northwestern university - ‘The heavy emphasis on profile browsing at most dating sites has considerable downsides, and there is little reason to believe that current compatibility algorithms are especially effective”. Source1, Source 2
2) No wonder, most dating sites do not want to reveal anything about their testing methodology nor do they open themselves out for public review. Source1, Source 2
The fact remains that nobody in the world can predict if likes attract or if unlike attract. Life is much more complicated than what any personality test can reveal. Such reliance on discredited tests is akin to the reliance on complex derivatives which brought down Wall Street. They are out of touch with reality.
