How accurate are love compatibility tests?

Technology

Is there a 100% accurate true love compatibility test? In all honesty, most love compatibility tests are a waste of time. Even the best ones have a low success rate.

A lot of these online tests just take advantage of people, astrology tests in particular, as distraught people find out that because they are a Leo they shouldn’t be with their Taurus partner, it’s just sad and untrue! The simple fact is that no matter what the signs or the stars say, the important thing is that you love each other.

To be fair, several online dating services have honed their love compatibility tests based on statistics collected from their hundreds of thousands of customers. Also, some of the best dating sites base their compatibility tests on the latest research on love and relationships from scientific publications. However, the love compatibility tests in “Cosmo” (not scientific literature, by the way) or the average magazine in the supermarket aisle is just as good as your average horoscope.

So what does the research say about love compatibility? Psychologists generally agree that there are 12 basic personality trains known to be genetically inherited. You are stuck with these for life and they will never change over time. The more you match with your partner on these 12 traits, the more likely you are to enjoy being together forever.

Here are some of the most important of the 12 traits: extroversion, idealism, libido, spontaneity, and intellectualism. Take a good look at your partner and yourself. Do you consistently agree at a high or low level on all of these? If so, chances are you have found your true love.
