Personality Tests - a Reliable Tool for Online Dating?
Filed in archive Business by Mark Brooks on January 5, 2005

PRWEB -- Jan 1 -- The online dating industry is experiencing a new
wave of growth by offering personality tests. Have you questioned the
reliability of these tests? Many online personals tests are based on
the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator. The professionally administered
test-retest reliability of MBTI is 0.75 (only 3 out of every 4 tests
are reliable). Since matching involves tests from two people, retest
reliability is 0.75 x 0.75 = 56%. Reliability of online self-assessment
would be even lower, less than 50%. The test-retest reliability of Compatti.com's compatibility assessment tool, which is based on biorhythms and astrology, is nearly 100%. PRWEB



Mark Brooks: I'll be writing an article on the top personality test based online personals sites for One 2 One magazine for their Valentines issue. eHarmony, Match, Tickle, True and PerfectMatch seem to be the category leaders.
