"PARSHIP, which uses a scientific compatibility test to match single people who are seeking a serious relationship, ...."
.....
"This scientifically proven method, based on over 40 years of scientific research by German Prof. Hugo Schmale and his team at the University of Hamburg, matches people who have a mutual balance of similarities and differences in their personalities, which is of essential importance to a harmonious relationship."
.....
"Since its launch in Germany in 2001, PARSHIP has successfully matched many thousands people, and it now operates in 14 countries of Western Europe and also in Mexico"

I remember I took the Parship's Spanish version compatibility test last Sept 2006. It contains a 24 Personality Factors Report, each factor varying from 60 to 140 points, 100 points the mean value. The compatibility/affinity between prospective mates is only a 2 integer figure like: 65PC(Compatibility Points).
(My matchlist: 8 women with affinity the highest=65PC the lowest=41PC, no one seemed to be really as compatible as a paying member will require, what I mean: I could easily reach that list of "prospective compatible women" searching by my own)

Is there any Scientific Paper PEER REVIEWED that substantiate Parship's "scientifically proven method"? Which is the weight assigned to personality traits over the whole profile?
