I put some information up on a personals site today.
This one is free and supposedly uses the quantative values of tests to determine possible personality matches.
I guess I did it because I wanted to be extra-special humiliated, 'cause that's what I get.
A "match", for this site, is someone whose quiz answers to 75% of the ~2300 possible questions, are identical to yours. And I can buy into that. It makes sense on some level.
So I spent a large part of my day dicking around on this site, answering these questions, and once I'd done several hundred I clicked "View Matches". I chose to look "anywhere in the world" and "any age".
I had 3 matches above 80% who are straight females (the top result is 82%). I checked. Two of the three are married. The other one hasn't logged in since February. I had 76 total matches. #8 is the first one that is a 75% match, as are 9 - 76.
Checking the bi-females, I do better: 119 matches. For extra-humiliation, I find that their search only displays a random 100 results at a time, suggesting that a person NORMALLY gets more than 100 results. Sadly, the first bi-female on my list is a 77% match, and more than that, 4/5s of the entries I look at in THAT department seem to be women looking for another woman to go along with the man they already have (that kind of crap is why gay people generally can't stand bisexuals, if anyone was wondering).
So... just to satisfy my morbid curiousity, I check compatibility with the gay women: 393 results, but compatibility? The top one is 95%, the lowest result on the second page, #20, is 86%.
I don't know what any of that proves, but it makes me feel like I'm doomed somehow.
The site is okcupid.com if anyone cares or has suggestions for making me a less boring profile.
