Soul2Match, FindYourFaceMate and Digital Physiognomy

Several times I had reviewed Soul2Match, FindYourFaceMate, "FaceReader from Profiler1: Personality Traits analysis based on facial features." and other dating sites with biometric software which analyzes facial features and bone structure, helping to detect levels of soulmate love and friendship like the Digital Physiognomy software. 

Soul2Match, FaceReader and FindYourFaceMate are SCAMS, HOAXES

 The paper "Recognition of Psychological Characteristics from Face" is also useless for the Online Dating Industry.

Do you want to know why?

Here are the answers:

1) 
Profiling by music preferences to assess personality
video preferences to assess personality
color preferences to assess personality
bookmarks preferences to assess personality
handwriting analysis to assess personality
purchases and buying trends from credit cards to assess personality

facial features to assess personality
and other methods like them add distortion to the measurement.

ALL indirect methods, ADD a lot of DISTORTION to the measurement.
The best way to assess personality of daters is using a normative instrument.

2) Read "Generalization in mate choice copying in humans"

-----------------

Please remember:

The 3 milestone discoveries of the 2001 - 2010 decade for Theories of Romantic Relationships Development are:
I) Several studies showing contraceptive pills users make different mate choices, on average, compared to non-users. "Only short-term but not long-term partner preferences tend to vary with the menstrual cycle"
II) People often report partner preferences that are not compatible with their choices in real life. (Behavioural recommender systems or other system that learns your preferences are useless)
III) What is important in attracting people to one another may not be important in making couples happy. Compatibility is all about a high level on personality similarity between prospective mates for long term mating with commitment.

Also there is a similarity trilogy between genetic, mate choice and personality based recommender systems.

WorldWide, there are over 5,000 -five thousand- online dating sites
but no one is using the 16PF5 to assess personality of its members!
but no one calculates similarity with a quantized pattern comparison method!
but no one can show Compatibility Distribution Curves to each and every of its members!
but no one is scientifically proven!

The Online Dating Industry needs a very powerful algorithm like the "Teller Ulam design". In this case 100 times more powerful than actual matching algorithms.

Breaking "the online dating sound barrier" is to achieve at least:
3 most compatible persons in a 100,000 persons database.
12 most compatible persons in a 1,000,000 persons database.
48 most compatible persons in a 10,000,000 persons database.
100 times better than Compatibility Matching Algorithms used by actual online dating sites!

The only way to achieve that is:
- using the 16PF5 normative personality test, available in different languages to assess personality of members, or a proprietary test with exactly the same traits of the 16PF5. The ensemble of the 16PF5 is: 10E16, big number as All World Population is nearly 7.0 * 10E9 (estimated OCT 2011)
- expressing compatibility with eight decimals, like The pattern 6.7.6.8.9.6.7.7.8.7.2.5.8.7.3.4 is 92.55033557%  +/- 0.00000001% similar to the pattern 7.7.6.8.8.7.6.5.8.7.4.5.7.7.3.4
Using a quantized pattern comparison method (part of pattern recognition by cross-correlation) to calculate similarity between prospective mates.

That is the only way to revolutionize the Online Dating Industry.

All other proposals are .............. NOISE and perform as placebo!

 

Energy Profiling HOAX

"Personology is the 'science' of exposing an individual's personality based on one's facial structure."

I would love to see a paper showing the correlations of facial features with the traits of their own personality model!!!

Personology is like handwriting analysis, music - films/movies/video - bookmarks - colors preferences or graphic quizzes to assess personality traits, ALL indirect methods, ADD a lot of DISTORTION to the measurement.
The best way to assess personality of daters is using a normative instrument.

In previous posts I had written about
Soul2Match
Find You FaceMate
and
"FaceReader from Profiler1: Personality Traits analysis based on facial features."

Here is another HOAX: Energy Profiling

Energy Profiling claims are:
"Energy Profiling is a unique profiling system that not only assesses personality traits, but also your behavior, thought and feeling processes, body language and physical characteristics to reveal the true you.
.........................
Energy Profiling is a simple system that categorizes people into one of four groups. This simple reference system speaks volumes once you understand your Type. Carol’s system has four types: Type 1, Type 2, Type 3, and Type 4."

I would love to see any peer_reviewed Scientifc Paper by Academics from different Universities showing the above can be true!

I remember I had contactred the author of Energy Profiling 2 years ago because she claimed
"If I were single I would use Energy Profiling to give me the added insight I would want when I met someone to know if they were my 'type.'
If you are single have some fun using Energy Profiling as an added tool to help you meet the person that is the right “type” for you! "


Read what I had written about "victims of human experimentation ?"

Remember:
ThomasKnowsPleople is an adapted ipsative DISC personality model.
PerfectMatch is an adapted ipsative MBTI personality model.
Chemistry is a proprietary ipsative Explorer, Builder, Negotiator, Director personality model.
eHarmony, eCift/Parship, Be2, MeeticAffinity/DatingDirectAffinity/MatchAffinity use the normative Big5 personality model.
Worldwide, no one dating site uses the 16PF5 normative personality test.

Breaking "the online dating sound barrier" is to achieve far better precision than searching on one's own or mutual filtering.

Actual Online Dating sites are fully intoxicated with different versions of the FFI five factor inventory / Big5 or other proprietary models instead (like Chemistry or PerfectMatch), to measure personality traits, and all of those tests are more simplified versions than the 16PF5 normative personality test.

Breaking "the online dating sound barrier" is to achieve at least:
3 most compatible persons in a 100,000 persons database.
12 most compatible persons in a 1,000,000 persons database.
48 most compatible persons in a 10,000,000 persons database.
100 times better than Compatibility Matching Algorithms used by actual online dating sites!

The only way to achieve that is:
- using the 16PF5 normative personality test, available in different languages to assess personality of members, or a proprietary test with exactly the same traits of the 16PF5. The ensemble of the 16PF5 is: 10E16, big number as All World Population is nearly 6.7 * 10E9

Using a quantized pattern comparison method (part of pattern recognition by cross-correlation) to calculate similarity between prospective mates.

That is the only way to revolutionize the Online Dating Industry.
