As jn wonders, how did you get to receive it?
This is the match number? If so, the difference between Mass and Miss doesn’t seem like very much, only 6.5%. Also, the match numbers are overall very high, but those numbers themselves are often skewed by members answering only a limited set of questions.
Finally, there are only 35,681 women on OKC? Though it says it’s “sampled” making me wonder why it can’t simply test the entire database.

The difference between worst and best is 5%. Sounds like a good idea but the numbers are fluff at best. Great for marketing though, that’s what matters right?

do they send this out to every member? it is interesting enough that i would signup and try the site out. i think okcupid might be the one site i haven’t signed up for yet

I think its a fantastic tool to help you find compatible matches locally, not sure about the usefulness of it helping find your best match nationally or internationally.

Data visualization in general is awesome. Our prime sense is vision, why not present data in a way that takes maximum advantage of that?
