James, nice retort. Fernando is good at stirring the pot, that’s for sure.

Fernando, if you need me to help you package and offer your test to dating sites I’d be happy to help, but posting math in the comments is probably not the best way to promote your ideas.

Ralph, James didn’t write that test, AFAIK he worked there for a while but it’s not his resume headliner. I’ve been talking with him on and off for years and he’s one of the good guys, maybe you two should talk.

Alex, I would start a site right now if I had access to:

- Dr. Houran and Alfredo and Ralph to advise on matching systems. Plus a few frustrated people from eHarmony.
- $20 million, at least.
- A few key executives from Match and eharmony.
- Marketing people from SinglesNet and True.
- Markus from PlentyofFish as a consultant ;-)
- a large partnership with newspapers and print media.
- Other secret ingredients.

I read the TCT “true compatibility test” (Qualitative and Quantitative Factors in Defining Romantic Compatibility) that Dr James work on back in 2003 when he served as the Chief Psychology Officer for True.com.

I liked the report of only 27 questions to 1101 married individuals, including 112 couples.

eHarmony cut the personality test of 435 questions for 235 (not to sure about the exact # of qts)
A big cut there.
Same bad results…………….
