Posted: 7/6/2007 3:26:24 PM | | I had the same problem Moontress. Also, when they give you the positive and negative views it's always the positive assessments that apply to me. They even suggested on 2 of them I might want to see a relationship counselor! LOL Most of what they stated was me ( except for the counselor bit lol) . However, I already knew everything they said about myself. I think they should take the negative views out at the bottom. To me they use that to twist your answers. | |

Posted: 7/6/2007 3:33:23 PM | | The test got most of mine right except the part about not wanting a touchy feely mate because I do want that because that's how I am very touchy feely. | |

Posted: 7/6/2007 3:35:01 PM | There is DEFINITELY something wrong with the scoring code on the last part of the test. Far too many people, it seems, got the same counter-intuitive results...
Did ANYBODY get a "Preferred Expressions of Affection" section that indicated that they prefer VERBAL expressions of affection?
To be completely honest here: after taking the test and getting the results, I hit the "Back" button of my browser and changed answers several times to see what happened. It DID change my results, but I could not get anything nearing a indication of preference for verbal affirmations not matter what combination of answers I offered... (BTW - this can ONLY be done the first time the test is taken: once you are "out" of the test, you can't get back to it again, apparently...)
I would request that the admin take a close look at the code that performs the test scoring and see if anything is amiss. If it is, the test results should be scrubbed and everyone should be allowed to re-take...
The rest of the test seemed fairly accurate, and I like(d) the test. That last part was disturbing though... | |

Posted: 7/6/2007 3:41:20 PM | Hasn't taken the test as of yet but will do so shortly. On another important note Why doesn't POF answer emails? Be nice if POF had a real to life category like "marriage potential" don't ya think.
Thinks POF is great site but those match, compatibility and personality test by themselves from what I've read in forums are by-an-large way off what a person is looking for when doing them. Be nice if they could be all combined under one match criteria.
Anyways thanks and hope I finally get a reply about the new category marrigae with potential or something like it, sent email like in March 2007 and again in May still no answer.
Keep up the good work admin. | |

If it truly is ONE GUY who runs this whole thing (and my hat's off to him if it is), then I can't imagine that he's got time to answer the volume of emails that would have to be coming his way from the thousands of folks on this site. I sent him an email to say how impressed I was/am with the site, but he didn't read it so I deleted it after a while. It just suddenly seemed to me unrealistic to expect a reply or even to have my email read. Enough that this site is HERE and it's FREE!
I can appreciate your points about this test and tests like it. If I had one criticism in general about such tests, it would be that the questions are often poorly-worded and/or vague. For example, take a statement like "I feel loved when my partner touches me." Does that mean "I ONLY feel loved when my partner touches me" or "One of the ways I feel loved is when my partner touches me"? The difference there would certainly affect the answer you'd give, wouldn't it? | |

Posted: 7/6/2007 4:03:36 PM | I like it and yes it's honest I have noticed lol.
I took the test and well, lets just say i have issues lol. It lets us know what we should work on and what to look for. It really is a useful tool for the site and people on it.  | |

Posted: 7/6/2007 4:07:35 PM | not at all accurate for me.
For starters the questions weren't cut and dry answers. A lot of the answers depend on circumstances. For example. "do you enjoy long walks with your SO?" Yeah, I like long walks if she wants to do it or if I'm trying to bust a gut, but I'd also be cool with skipping the walk and just hanging out. It is all way too circumstantial to really say anything. My results were pretty far from the truth, but yet even the results were open to so much interpretation they didn't really say anything. | |

I second that (e)motion!!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
BTW - I thought we were going to be given a choice to have the needs assessment on our profiles or not. Ummm...did I miss something somewhere? I wouldn't mind if results of the last need assessed (affection) was accurate - but it's NOT. Ahem!

Posted: 7/6/2007 5:10:56 PM | First of all, this is a great site unlike no other. The continual improvements on this site is much appreciated. There are many helpful and useful tools available to the user, like this new relationship/needs assessment.
I took this test and the results are for the most part accurate. I feel these type of tests/assessments are valuable (perhaps not to everyone, depending on what people come to POF looking for...and that's understandable) because they help us understand ourselves and other people, moreover guide us in the right direction in whom and what we're seeking in a relationship; it takes out alot of the guesswork and time normally invested towards developing and building a committed relationship with someone---because both parties begin with a common foundation and known expectations and this foundation is derived from these tests and assessments. Perhaps this is a little too scientific, even construed as unspontaneous or too psychological to some, for others it makes perfect sense and is very useful.
I feel it should be mandatory for those who list themselves looking for DATING or LONG-TERM relationships --- have their relationship assessment available for others to view , or else what is the point...what are they trying to hide? Your profile should honestly reflect what you're looking for. People are busy; my profile lists I'm interested in "dating", so I'm not on here looking for friends --- I give my thumbs up to any test/assessment that help direct me in seeking relationships that have the word "potential" written all over it and could lead somewhere.
Forget what I said about the assessments being mandatory on profiles for dating/long-term, I take that back, remembering what was said on mine about disclosing too much information (although, this hasn't been a problem in my past relationships with guys) ...lol... making my assessment readily available would be an open book. I'm just very honest and straightup i guess, whether that should be a weakness or not i dunno --- depends? | |

Posted: 7/6/2007 5:13:02 PM | Well I just finished the Assessment and two questions that I answered, "Not at all like Me" apparently were read incorrectly as "Very much like me" as the results read that I over valued knowing my partners co workers which I had answered not at all like me cause I have never wondered about co workers and the other question was "it would bother me if my partner went out with his friends", again, I had answered not at all like me, cause that doesn't bother me.
So can I take the test again, I'll just click twice on "Not at all like me." lols | |

Posted: 7/6/2007 5:19:12 PM | I think it was a good idea, mine was pretty accurate, now if we had someone to find our match it would be right on...
way to go POF,,, | |

Posted: 7/6/2007 5:21:53 PM | What a crock of shite..
now we need a test to know who we are and what we want.
Not only is it ethnocentic to some totalising conecption
of what it means to be human,
such tests dismiss specific soci-cultural behaviour
and dating patterns in relation to different cultures ... | |

Posted: 7/6/2007 5:25:09 PM | I took the test and it is pretty accurate, but for one thing it said "You need someone who is not overly touchy-feely – such as frequent tickles, constantly holding hands, public hugs and kisses or light touches as s/he passes by." OPP's not me. I do need someone that loves to touch and be touch, dont know what I did wrong. But the rest is ME. LOL.  | |

Posted: 7/6/2007 5:27:40 PM | | No more tests for me since they cannot be retaken. Firefox and "Remove it Permanently" completely removes the link so I do no have to see it! (Highly recommended!) | |

Posted: 7/6/2007 5:43:17 PM | | I believe it should be up to each POF individual to decide whether or not it should be posted or not. They are fun to take... | |

Posted: 7/6/2007 5:43:36 PM | Reading many of the posts regarding this "test", it appears that the "affection preference part" of the assessment is the section that possibly has a glitch... Mine says that I respond the LEAST to verbal communication of affection with a preference toward action, but the "Bottom line" says: I need someone that does not express affection verbally. In reality, I DO respond to the verbal, but PREFER the action (show me). I think the wording is just off, as people are not so "black and white"...we are many shades of gray!
I didn't take it too seriously, but mine was pretty accurate. | |

Posted: 7/6/2007 6:15:46 PM | | I have taken the test three times and now and it does not acknowledge that I have taken. Every time that I take it and click on submit it goes back to login. And Yes I checked my cookies and they are enabled. As for the test itself I liked it. I can see it being very useful . | |

Posted: 7/6/2007 6:24:24 PM | Hey man, thanx for reply.
I understand what you said about the largeness of POF just thot since they went to the trouble to make a category for everyone else from seeking no-one to anyone and anything, at least put one category that stands above the rest.
Long-term is very subjective depending on the person. And as I took this Relationship Assessment I realized its has its limitations too. The overall test gives the impression they trying to give a positive and negative assessment however you answer a particular question. One question about communicating says great things about being that way while at the same time says I might be over-powering lol which is furtherest from the truth. All the questions from each segement seem to have this double view or result.
Maybe I shouldn't have answered all the questions .... as someone mentioned many were repititious, just a twist in wording.
For the most part thinks this latest test was good, are we being tested? and if they receive more input this is an upsale for POF in the least. | |

Posted: 7/6/2007 7:43:05 PM | | Fo the most part it was pretty accurate but on a couple things it said I was the opposite of how I answered. Eg. it says I'm not a touchy feely kind of person at all and Im a very touchy feely person so that made me mad. If it was more accurate I would show it on my profile . It was fun to take though I must admit. | |

Posted: 7/6/2007 8:16:36 PM | | LOVED this test! Bang on accurate for me. I do agree with other posters that I had a few quirks but they all fell on the "positives" side of the scale and reading those positives, I was quite in agreement that these items were captured because they represent who I am!! | |
