Failed.
I knew I would, I'm not religious for starters and I checked the highest number for "liberal", they probably don't like that there :wink:

I went there once just to see what all the hoopla was about. I saw how long the questionnaire was and left. Never bothered to try it again.

Probably a good thing too. I'm sure I would have failed and gone on a homicidal rampage afterward. :roll:

I have never tried eharmony and I don't have to worry about passing the test because I am already married.

They are not as successful as they make themselves out to be. Have a look at this article.

Quote:
The "20 Million Members" Paradox

eHarmony claims over 20 million members on their homepage, and their CEO, Greg Waldorf, reiterates that number regularly in interviews. If your goal is to find someone special, 20 million people is a lot of options—roughly a quarter of all singles in the U.S. This sounds awesome until you realize that most of these people can’t reply, because only paying customers are allowed to message.

So I assume most of you know eHarmony is a online dating service. ...and if you don't, you do now. Well, today out of nothing better to do... I took the the personality matching test and got this..



Not able to match you at this time....

eHarmony is based upon a complex matching system developed through extensive research with married couples. One of the requirements for successful matching is that participants fall within certain defined profiles. If we find that we will not be able to match a user using these profiles, we feel it is only fair to inform them early in the process.

We are so convinced of the importance of creating compatible matches to help people establish happy, lasting relationships that we sometimes choose not to provide service rather than risk an uncertain match.

Unfortunately, we are not able to make our profiles work for you. Our matching model could not accurately predict with whom you would be best matched. This occurs for about 20% of potential users, so 1 in 5 people simply will not benefit from our service. We hope that you understand, and we regret our inability to provide service for you at this time.
You can still receive your free Personality Profile by clicking here.


------

I had a feeling I would end up with such based on the quetsions and how I anwered them (honestly). I've deemed it is because I’m a emotionality unstable depressed, short tempered non sociable single woman. (or so the answers likely say) I looked it up and it tells me they don't accept depressed people...whcih I'm not, but that is the only catagory I fit.


So has anyone else taken and failed the test? I am curious to see what other aspies would get. I'm more amused about the whole thing than anything though.


I didn't even know that was possible :(
I guess it must be legit, considering Eharmony is a money making enterprise. At least they don't lead people on with false hope and promises. I wonder if the same thing would happen to me?

Did you localize your search? Maybe if you went national you would find a match?

Thanks, Fuzzy! If I were thinking about joining one of those sites, that link would make me think twice. I am cynical about dating services, anyway.

I never paid for dating sites nor ever joined them. Where I used to be, it was a free site and then they started to change it and limit it for free membership. Then you could only send ten PMs a day and it was more limited. Then met my husband and I canceled my membership and last time I heard, you were only allowed to send one PM a day now.

Those matchmaker sites are more scam than anything else. Even if you met someone with similar interests, there is no guarantee it will result in a long-term relationship.

I had two matches in the entire continent, One in NY and the other in TX, both were nothing like me at all so it is a waste of time.

They are unable to match me either...

You are best described as:
Nice site LOL (im being sarcastic)..
this is what it said about me, it really sounds horrid

"CONSISTENTLY TAKING CARE OF YOURSELF


Words that describe you:
•Uncompromising
•Frank
•Astute
•Critical
•Empirical
•Tough
•Discerning
•Sceptical
•Shrewd "

Negative Reactions Others May Have Toward You
Your emphasis on personal independence and personal responsibility may seem to lack in compassion to some people. Undoubtedly you have encountered people who feel this way toward you. And some may find you to be rather selfish. You do stay focused on your own life, take responsibility for your own problems, and are not always moved by situations in which some people think some action is required. That is part of you and your basic beliefs about life. And some people will inevitably want you to be different, but that is simply not who you are.


Positive Responses Others May Have Toward You
You're true to your beliefs and you hold yourself to the same expectations as you do with others. You are critical and tough with yourself, which gives you a consistency when you are critical and tough with others. And even when others don't agree with you, people are likely to admire your frankness. You say what you believe, even if what you believe runs counter to the motives and beliefs of others.

And you keep reminding people of two things that few people can argue with, even if they don't believe in them with your single-mindedness. Personal independence and personal responsibility matter to most people, and even the very compassionate admit that sometimes their hearts get in the way of what their heads know, which is to say that people should take care of themselves whenever they are able to do so. You remind people of this, in the honest way you live your own life and in the ways in which you respond, and don't respond, to other people

................

Does this have an Aspie sound to it all
