The compatibility test up close

How the compatibility test works

Published and updated:

40 questions, 6 sections. Your answers are matched with expectations in both directions; one-sided compatibility is not enough.

LifestyleFamilyValuesCultural fitHobbiesExpectations

Two-way comparison

Your traits are compared with their expectations, and their traits with yours. One-sided compatibility is never enough.

Section-weighted scoring

Each section contributes differently to the total: values and family weigh more than hobbies. The result becomes a single compatibility percentage.

The compatibility breakdown screen

On every profile you see not just the total percentage, but a section-by-section breakdown: where you strongly align and what you should talk about.

Which sections does the test have?

The compatibility test has 40 questions across six sections. Each section is scored separately and then merged into a single compatibility percentage. Below you can see how many questions each section holds, its weight in the scoring and real example questions from the test.

Lifestyle

6 questions · weight 1.5

The concrete habits of daily life: smoking and alcohol, pace of life, how chores are divided, pets. These are the things two people notice in the first week of sharing a home.

Example questions

  • Do you smoke?
  • How should household chores be divided?

Family

10 questions · weight 3

Wanting children, how many, previous marriage status, relations with parents and the timing of the wedding. This is the second largest section of the test.

Example questions

  • Do you want to have children?
  • When would you like to get married?

Values

11 questions · weight 3

Faith, money, honesty, how you react in an argument and whether you apologise. This section measures the differences that stay invisible at first but wear a marriage down over the years.

Example questions

  • How important are religious values to you?
  • How should spending decisions be made in marriage?

Cultural fit

4 questions · weight 2.5

The section specific to international marriage: adapting to another culture, the shared language at home, handling a difference in faith and willingness to move to another country.

Example questions

  • How would you approach a shared language with your spouse?
  • Would you relocate to another city or country for your spouse?

Hobbies

5 questions · weight 1

Free time, cooking, travel, cultural events and the ideal weekend. On its own this section decides nothing, so it carries the lowest weight.

Example questions

  • How much do you enjoy travelling?
  • What is your ideal weekend?

Expectations

4 questions · weight 2

The explicit demands about life after the wedding: where you will live, what you could never accept in a spouse and whether your spouse will work. It is a short section, but not a light one in the scoring.

Example questions

  • Where do you dream of living after marriage?
  • How do you feel about your spouse working after marriage?

Which section affects the compatibility percentage most?

Not every question weighs the same. A question's points are multiplied by the weight of its section. The weights are:

The logic is simple: a disagreement about children or about money will not carry a marriage, while a difference in weekend preferences is something two people grow into. That is why a single question from values or family weighs as much as three questions about hobbies.

Weight raises not only the points you earn but also the ceiling for that question. Agreeing inside a heavy section lifts the percentage clearly, and disagreeing lowers it just as clearly.

How are two members' answers compared?

The comparison never runs in one direction. On every shared question three measurements are made: your answer against theirs, your partner expectation against their answer, and their expectation against your answer.

Matching your own answers is worth the most: up to 2 points per question. Each direction of expectation adds another point. In 25 of the 40 questions you can also mark what you expect from a partner; in the remaining 15 only your own answer is measured.

In scale questions a neighbouring option earns half the points. On the smoking question the distance between sometimes and never is not treated as the distance between never and regularly. In categorical questions, where the order of options carries no meaning, only an identical answer scores.

If an expectation you marked explicitly does not fit the other side's answer at all, that direction scores nothing and an extra penalty is subtracted from the total. The penalty equals half the section weight, so a broken expectation inside values or family pulls the score down the hardest. Your own answer points are kept: a couple who think alike do not lose the whole question over one mismatched expectation.

If two members have answered fewer than 10 questions in common, no percentage is shown at all. A noisy number built from a handful of answers is not presented as a reliable score.

How should the compatibility percentage be read?

The result lands between 25 and 100. Even zero overlap shows 25, and a perfect match gives 100. The conversion is linear: the percentage mirrors exactly the share of the ceiling you earned, with no extra curve applied.

Scores of 78 and above are grouped in the top block of your discover page, while lower ones appear under a separate heading but are never hidden. The threshold only orders the list; it removes nobody.

On a profile page the total percentage is shown next to a section by section breakdown. If a high total hides a low family section, that is where the conversation should start. The percentage is not a decision, it is a list of things to talk about.

How long does the test take and can answers be changed later?

The test has 40 questions. In each one you pick a single option, and in the 25 questions that carry expectations you make a second choice as well. You do not have to finish in one sitting: every answer is saved the moment you pick it, so closing the page still leaves you where you stopped.

Answers are never locked. If you later answer the same question differently, the old record is updated and your compatibility percentages are recalculated from the new answer. When your mind changes you do not have to retake the test, only that one question needs updating.

Some questions are skipped entirely depending on your answers. A member who does not want children and has none is never shown the question about religious upbringing. That is why you may see fewer than 40 questions.

Frequently asked questions

How many questions does the compatibility test have?

The test has 40 questions across six sections: lifestyle, family, values, cultural fit, hobbies and expectations. Values is the largest section, while cultural fit and expectations are the shortest.

Which section has the biggest effect on the compatibility percentage?

Values and family carry the highest weight, cultural fit comes next and hobbies carry the lowest. The full list of weights is printed on this page and matches the values used in the scoring itself.

What is the lowest possible compatibility percentage?

The lowest is 25 and the highest is 100. Even a pair with nothing in common shows 25, because that is the floor of the scale, not a hidden sign of compatibility.

Can I change my answers later?

Yes. You can give any question a new answer at any time: the old answer is updated and your compatibility percentages are recalculated. You never need to retake the test.

What does a partner expectation mean?

In some questions you also mark what you expect from a spouse alongside your own answer: this choice is open in 25 of the 40 questions. The expectation works both ways: yours is checked against their answer and theirs against yours.

Why is there no compatibility percentage on some profiles?

A percentage can only be computed when two members have answered at least 10 of the same questions. If the other side has not progressed far enough through the test, no score is shown.

Does a high compatibility percentage guarantee the right person?

No. The percentage shows how much two sets of answers overlap; it does not measure character, chemistry or intent. The score tells you where to start the conversation, it does not decide for you.
