The thinking behind a better introduction.
Psychometric compatibility is the direction and the leading matching signal. Credibility also means being precise about what exists today: the current preview and MindSync banks are product-authored compatibility prompts, not a validated battery or a clinical assessment.
Psychometrics lead, shaped by reciprocal preferences and hard safety boundaries.
Compatibility should work for both people, not rank one as more desirable.
Shared ground, likely friction, and uncertainty should be explained plainly.
Timing, consent, chemistry, and how someone shows up still matter.
What we use now. What must come next.
Stronger psychometric claims belong after the assessment, scoring, consent, privacy, retention, and shadow-validation gates are complete. Until then, the product should say exactly what the evidence supports.
- CURRENT
Product-authored compatibility prompts
The preview and MindSync banks explore personality, values, lifestyle, communication, and relationship context. They are useful profile inputs, not a validated psychometric battery.
Shown honestly in the product today - NEXT
Versioned personality assessment
The next psychometric layer is being designed as an immutable, scored instrument with explicit versioning, retake rules, consent, and no client-side scoring authority.
Must pass scoring, privacy, and lifecycle gates before launch - ALWAYS
Preferences and hard constraints
Relationship intentions, dealbreakers, distance, consent, safety, and reciprocal preferences remain separate from psychometric inference and cannot be silently overridden.
User agency is not a model output - OUTPUT
Qualitative compatibility
Public matching should describe shared ground, possible friction, evidence breadth, and uncertainty. A score must never be presented as destiny.
Explanation before precision
Six peer-reviewed studies and our IPIP-facet approach, with how each is encoded into questions that actually score.
