| FEATURE: POF Relationship Assessment Test
Posted: 7/5/2007 10:44:58 PM | We have a new 100 question Assessment. No other site on the web has anything like this. When you take the assessment it will tell you what questions you should ask other users if you want to enter into a relationship with them. The Assessment also gives customized guidence. Give it a shot.

A shortened summary of the test will be put on your profile. You can take it off as before. Preview the summary if to see if you want it up. Sexuality is left out, as well as all over valued and under valued items.
The perferred method of expression has been updated slightly. To make it more clear, as people were getting hung up on some of the wording.

Posted: 7/5/2007 10:53:37 PM | It sounds like a helpful tool I'm just wondering if this is something that will show up on your profile like the personality assessment? Or...is it something strictly for the user him/herself to use? Will there be matches like the personality test too? | |

Posted: 7/5/2007 11:36:11 PM | I think you should add it to the profile.
the evaluation , for a change , have nailed it right on the head.
And the bottom line comments.. great.
I should cut and paste them onto my profile.
hmm. ..? | |

Posted: 7/5/2007 11:36:49 PM | I took the test and I've got to say it is very insightful and even points out some things about myself that I wasnt fully aware of. I admit I probably wont be asking anybody the questions the assessment recommends, I think they are pretty corny to ask somebody, and maybe more than a little difficult to answer. but they do provide a guide to key points you can focus on and listen for in a persons conversation. I give it two thumbs up for making me feel one step closer to ruling the world. | |

Posted: 7/5/2007 11:48:54 PM | | Well I just finished the test, and like the others that you have posted the results are dead on. I cut and pasted it for future reference into a word document. What a nice touch. Bravo! | |

Posted: 7/6/2007 12:02:26 AM | I highly enjoyed reading the results of this test. The test gives good insight into who we are as ppl, where were heading and good advice on relationships tailored to us.
I'd love to see ppl who I would be best suited to. This test seems to have the most important self information compared to the other tests available to pof members.
I liked that this test gives questions to ask potential mates, provides information as to relationship readiness.
Cool stuff, we have the potential to learn more about other fishies readiness and needs for a best relationship start.
 ya rock & that's why POF is #1 | |

Posted: 7/6/2007 12:12:12 AM | i tried the test just now. i will need time to absorb and i am tired. however, my off the cuff response is that to date i have found the meyers briggs descriptions to be very helpful to me in assessing my relationships. however, i have also tested at different points in time with different results. so, go figure.
with this test, i found the interpretations to ranging from one extreme possiblity to the other to mean to me that they were not sufficiently refined. i also think that an age adjustment variable might show slightly different interpretations.
i do tend to over analyze. thus in responding to some of the questions, i was not sure that i was truly understanding. if i can remember correctly, for example, one of the questions assessed one's reactions to his/her partner's going out "socially" w/o the significant other. well, for me if it was dancing and partying with both sexes, i would have one reaction versus another if it was with the guys or a business related dinner or community function. i would not be thrilled if my significant other was partying away with a bunch of strange women, but he does have women friends from his past that i know he is not attracted to, so that would not bother me if they had a focused activity together where there was no reason for me to be there.
he works on his own as an electrician, but if he were in a social work environment or some sort of group, i would not worry about him becoming involved w/o me. that is unless he had no time for me, then i would begin to worry. so again, not sure how to interpret some of the questions and in so not being able to do so, the responses as to whether i was at one extreme or the other of the analysis, led me to conclude that the question and the answer was not of any significance in the wishy woshy result.
still, i did like some of the different questions throughout and would be just as "happy" with a list of such questions for me to pick and chose as i saw fit. would not even need to take the test in order to find such questions useful.
my question is whether you are trying to utilize the results for purposes other than for use on pof? writing a book? publishing results in a professional journal, etc.? | |

Posted: 7/6/2007 12:14:49 AM | | I thought it was all fairly accurate, except for the under/over value bits. Of all the reasons (positive and negative) given for over/under valuing things, none of them really fit with me. | |

Posted: 7/6/2007 12:27:43 AM | For the most part, it was very accurate for me. (I suppose it was accurate as to how I see myself.) Not sure about adding it to the profile, there is already so much stuff on our profiles. They are getting cluttery.
(There were typos in the results I noticed, not sure if that matters to anyone or not!!) | |

Posted: 7/6/2007 12:48:36 AM | It looks very well done and thought out... I'm going to re read it now.
Thanks for all the effort in organising for the professionals to make it, and putting it on the site etc... | |

Posted: 7/6/2007 1:01:30 AM | Interesting questionnaire. Seems accurate. I'd support a top 3 questions on a profile, as it might help to direct better matches.

Out of the various modes of expressing affection, you scored as someone who responds least to Physical Touch. Bottom line: 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.
now I must have done something very wrong as that is the complete opposite to me.....
but I can see what bluezzz is saying.... does help us understand a person better and see just how compatable we would be | |

Posted: 7/6/2007 1:24:54 AM | | i took the test, there is something wrong with it, because the results were completely wrong, questions i said i did not agree with at all and wasen't like me, the results said i enjoyed and usually did... not right at all, everything i read was wrong... | |

Posted: 7/6/2007 1:25:23 AM | Very Good!
All areas I've already covered with my Sweetie (,over time), so I'd say the suggested questions are bang-on.
I would suggest leaving the "Top 3 Questions" off anyones' profile who's "Not Single/Not Looking", though! | |

Posted: 7/6/2007 2:18:17 AM | | Just took the assessment, for the most part it was pretty much on target EXCEPT the last section on preferred expressions of affection, which was off the map inaccurate. Otherwise, interesting and useful. | |

Posted: 7/6/2007 3:20:22 AM | | I looked over this and the first thing I noticed was that my answers are very different since meeting my special someone here and relating to him compared with what they would have been before. Meeting someone you really click with can completely change your idea of relationships, so I'm not sure how useful this test really is. Before I met him I definitely needed space and time alone and really had a very negative view of relationships and did not want to be in one again. Now that I've found him, all that has changed. | |

Posted: 7/6/2007 3:20:49 AM | This was a really interesting exercise and the results were pretty accurate for me in most instances.
I really like the key questions that were generated.
GOOD WORK !!!! | |

Posted: 7/6/2007 3:52:45 AM | I'd have a huge problem with the Admin here adding any sort of prompting questions others should ask us when viewing our profile. Sadly, like many other things: astrological signs, quickie M-B "results" and various other things used to assess another are too often over used and misinterpreted by those applying them. IF the results of something like this are not completely optional whether they're shared with others then it would seem intrusive to me. If I choose to take the assessment only for curiosity sake and would rather it NOT be made available to others that should be strickly my choice.
On other sites I've seen "conversation starters" that could be selected by the profile holder but that was voluntary. It's great you're experimenting with such things but they should always be viewalble or known to others ONLY if it's a desire of us here as individuals.
Thanks for the site----it's mostly great as is though!! | |

Posted: 7/6/2007 4:30:26 AM | I like relationship quiz options. I know some other site has them too but I do not know the name. It helps people in self discovery and more to do those quiz options.

Posted: 7/6/2007 4:32:06 AM | | I took the test and it is pretty accurate for me, but I also agree that it should be the decision of the profile member whether or not to have it viewed on their profile. | |
