Posted: 7/6/2007 5:09:48 AM | a very good test and good results too.
but then they are an actual jusdge of your mood and circumstances at the cirrent moment in time, a snapshot, so that is to be expected.
It will however alter as your moods and circumstances change..Therefore to be a truly accurate representation of the person, it probably needs to be re-run on a regular basis.
Will there be an option for people to re-rin the test when they feel it no longer matches their current circumstance ? | |

Thanks team!

Posted: 7/6/2007 5:44:24 AM | I did the test but there was one part I must have answered the opposite of what I truely felt...I must be the most touchy feely person in the world and it says I don't like it :(
Man without hugs and kisses etc. and holding of hands I am out of there, I love PDA and being close to my partner .... sigh, so that part of the test sucked must of answered wrong....but the rest sigh is me 100 percent.

Posted: 7/6/2007 5:55:54 AM | I have to agree with Fiesty, I'm pretty touchy-feely and got a result saying the opposite. I feel the wording of the questions may throw this off as the questions ( a lot of them ) tend towards the absolute, with not much" sometimes " in there. A lot of the assessment seems to be how I perceive myself and my likes/dislikes, but in this one particular area the answer is the opposite.  | |

Posted: 7/6/2007 6:00:26 AM | My experience was the same as Fiesty's. hmmm... I am also a touchy feely person and if that isn't in the relationship, then the relationship isn't for me. Gifts are not a substitute for that.
I also agree with another poster that the result shouldn't be displayed on the profiles. While there are benefits for posting the results, there is vulnerability as well. It's the vulnerability factor that I am most concerned with. | |

Posted: 7/6/2007 6:05:55 AM | Wow, I took the test, and all the results were accurate for me......I dont think they should be posted on the profiles either. Sometimes people have a tendency to prey on the results of questions.....they like to be who the person wants them to be, even though they aren't that person at all!  | |

Posted: 7/6/2007 7:05:19 AM | What a fantastic tool!
I'm a great big fan of POF but now you have given us something really worthwhile that will tell us what we are really about. It pegged me exactly but I'd like to keep my assessment private. Maybe I'd pull it out for discussion if I got closer than a casual friendship with someone.
What I have now is an impartial confirmation of what I really think and feel. I already knew most of this stuff but it sure helps to have it in writing. It's identified exactly what I should be looking for in a partner.
One problem! When I printed out the results, the right hand side of the copy was cut off. Is that my problem or a glitch?
Thanks again! | |

Posted: 7/6/2007 7:35:04 AM | For the most part, it was completely right. All but the last one. I must have misunderstood a question here or there, beucase it told me I prefer gifts to verbal affirmations. I'm just the opposite-- I'd rather hear "I love you" or find a note on the fridge than be given gifts.
Otherwise... very good. | |

Posted: 7/6/2007 7:40:03 AM | | SRedRose, that's the same for me. The rest of the test was completely accurate, but then it said I prefer gifts??? Weird. Other than that, it was dead on! I love these kinds of tests. | |

Posted: 7/6/2007 8:08:46 AM | | the test was pretty spot on except for the last part ( same as SRedRose & SingingInLV said) Gifts are nice but I wouldn't say I prefer them over the verbal. Its the word prefer that bugs me. Gifts are just a nice surprise and in no way preferred over seeing and feeling affectionate actions from a loved one. | |

Posted: 7/6/2007 8:09:21 AM | I work in the assessment and testing industry, and I can tell that this is a poorly designed test. Why 100 questions? Why not 150? Why not 50? Why not 40? There clearly is no design to the test. 100 questions is too many questions for the average PoFfer to sift through. Especially if many questions don't measure or assess anything, which is my guess after just looking at a few of the questions.
There clearly is redundancy in the test. Get rid of unnecessary questions to make less timely (and therefore the responses will more likely be accurate).
The first thing done when planning a test is to design the construct, meaning figure out what needs to be measured. Then the test is designed to measure only what needs measuring. This test is clearly measuring unnecessary relationship qualities, and perhaps leaving off important qualities. I'll take it and afterwards provide more feedback. | |

Posted: 7/6/2007 8:10:03 AM | | I just took it and yes, it is right on. I'm just not sure whether I'm ready to share the results with others though. Perhaps we can be given the option of yes or no. | |

Posted: 7/6/2007 8:26:06 AM | | I thought it accurate for the most part - some was not entirely accurate. I agree, it should be up to the user whether it shows or not, much like the personality option. | |

Posted: 7/6/2007 8:29:39 AM | | After taking the test, I think I could have generated similar results flipping a coin. Half of the assessments were correct. Some of the assessments were totally incorrect. These psychological tests don't work for everyone, apparently. Still it's better than nothing, but I wouldn't pay much attention to anyone's particular results. Throwing darts at a dartboard would produce similar quality results. | |

Posted: 7/6/2007 8:51:27 AM | Well I took the test and overall it was quite accurate except ... guess where ... go ahead ... give a guess ... yep your right ! It stated like many others here have posted that I liked gifts better than public displays of affection . BZZZZZ WRONG
I have to wonder if they worded the questions differently in that section that maybe so many of us wouldn't be having this problem. | |

Posted: 7/6/2007 8:54:59 AM | bike_man - maybe given your experience you could offer suggestions for a better test? Just a thought.
It does seem to need some fine tuning on that last question given that thus far many of us are assessing the opposite of who we are.
Given that POF is a free site, and having taken assessments previously on paid sites - this one is certainly much more accurate overall in my opinion (except of course for that last area). | |
