Finally the perfect dating algorithm? Of course NOT, Big Five test is OBSOLETE.

TERRIBLE BIG DISTORTION!!!

The Big Five normative personality test is obsolete, it has been proven as an incomplete and incorrect model of personality.

The HEXACO (a.k.a. Big Six) is another oversimplification. 

Online Dating sites have very big databases, in the range of 20,000,000 (twenty million) profiles, so the Big Five model or the HEXACO model are not enough for predictive purposes. That is why I suggest the 16PF5 test instead and another method to calculate similarity.

High precision in matching algorithms is precisely the key to open the door and leave the infancy of compatibility testing.
Without offering the NORMATIVE 16PF5 (or similar test measuring exactly the 16 personality factors) for serious dating, it will be impossible to innovate and revolutionize the Online Dating Industry.

The Online Dating Industry does not need a 10% improvement, a 50% improvement or a 100% improvement. It does need "a 100 times better improvement"

All other proposals are NOISE and perform as placebo 
 

His / Her face may be swollen due to subclinical hypothyroidism

Images/photos used in the samples do not take into account:
* Normally cycling women versus women using hormonal contraceptive methods.
"Ovulatory cycle and changes in face width: How women can tell when other females are ovulating using clues in their face - and how they may then try to hide their partners from the 'threat' of these fertile ladies (Women's attractiveness changes with estradiol and progesterone across the ovulatory cycle)"
* Her face may be swollen by a pregnancy.
* His / Her face may be swollen due to subclinical hypothyroidism.
* Persons with facial surgery or even worse Photoshopped / altered / retouched images (nose, lips, eyebrows) can introduce bias in the algorithm.

Also from the original research:
(208) Facial images. We obtained facial images from public profiles posted on a U.S. dating
(209) website. We recorded 130,741 images of 36,630 men and 170,360 images of 38,593 women
(210) between the ages of 18 and 40, who reported their location as the U.S. Gay and heterosexual
(211) people were represented in equal numbers. Their sexual orientation was established based on the
(212) gender of the partners that they were looking for (according to their profiles).

"Gay and heterosexual people were represented in equal numbers. "

Perhaps it is a flaw. Gay people are OVERrepresented in the sample.
Perhaps Gay people should be less than 10% in the sample.

If in real world heterosexual people are 90% of any REAL / REPRESENTATIVE sample of any real population, and 10% are only Gay and Bisexual, it will be easy to any algorithm to achieve 90% precision detecting heterosexual people!
It only needs to say all of them are heterosexual people and it will fail for a 10%,  i.e. 90% precision !
