OkCupid has launched a new feature called WTF. I received the press release and read the FAQ on the website. I still don’t understand what is does.

For each match question you and another user aren’t perfectly matched on, WTF will display your respective preferences, your respective answers, how well (or poorly) they matched, and a damage score that tells you mathematically just how much messing up that question hurt the match between you two.

Then I found the FAAAQ! - Frequently Asked for Answers About Questions, which explains the concept and the math behind it in more details.

We’ll see what adoption rates are like, too complicated for me, just give me more fun tests.
