Methodology

Five axes. One honest signal.

PsyMatch currently uses product-authored prompts inspired by dimensional personality concepts, with relationship context and explicit preferences layered in. They are not a validated battery. Below are the areas we explore and the limits we publish openly.

§ 01 — Measures

What we measure.

  • Axis O

    Openness

    Curiosity, abstract thinking, and aesthetic sensitivity. High = exploratory; low = conventional.

    Current source: product-authored prompts
  • Axis C

    Conscientiousness

    Self-discipline, organization, and goal orientation. High = methodical; low = spontaneous.

    Current source: product-authored prompts
  • Axis E

    Extraversion

    Energy from social engagement and stimulation. High = outwardly energized; low = inwardly recharging.

    Current source: product-authored prompts
  • Axis A

    Agreeableness

    Trust, warmth, and cooperative orientation. High = harmonizing; low = challenging.

    Current source: product-authored prompts
  • Axis N

    Neuroticism

    Emotional volatility under stress. High = sensitive to threat; low = even-keeled.

§ 02 — Limits

What dimensions can — and cannot — do.

01

What dimensions can do

Surface alignment around long-term direction, communication rhythm, and likely friction points before momentum is lost.

02

What dimensions can't promise

They are not destiny. They don't replace consent, chemistry, timing, or how someone actually behaves in conversation.

03

How we frame it

Compatibility is a hypothesis to test through real conversation. The dimensions improve where you start, not what happens next.

§ 03 — Pipeline

What the analysis pipeline produces.

Assessment responses feed a versioned analysis pipeline. Every output below is delivered with its own confidence and stability metadata - we show the machinery, not just the headline numbers.

01

Big Five with facets

The five axes above, each broken into facets - e.g. openness into imagination, artistic interest, and adventurousness - so a level is traceable to specific response patterns.

02

Emotional intelligence domains

Self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, and relationship management, reported alongside an overall estimate.

03

Relationship profile

Attachment style, primary and secondary love language, communication and conflict styles, plus readiness measures like emotional availability and independence need.

04

Values profile

Core values, relationship values, and life goals with importance weights - the layer that powers intention alignment in match rationale.

05

Trait confidence & stability

Each trait carries a confidence score, the number of data points behind it, and a stability measure, so thin evidence looks thin.

06

Quality indicators

Response consistency and social-desirability signals flag when answers may not be reliable; flagged analyses say so on the surface.

Outputs are derived, versioned summaries - raw questionnaire responses stay private and are never published on profiles. Trait levels shift as coverage grows; confidence drops when answers go stale or inconsistent.

§ 04 — Reading it

Your signature is a shape, not a score.

The five axes create a visual summary of the current preview. Matching looks at the broader pair context rather than letting one axis decide anything. The signature is a conversation aid, not a diagnosis or a geometric proof of compatibility.
