DAILYMAIL.CO.UK - Oct 19 - Over the past year a number of online dating sites have
launched psychometric testing to identify compatible partners.
Psychometric testing scientifically analyses how you interpret
situations, the way that you make decisions and react to problems to
create a personality type on a much deeper, psychological level than
have previously been used in dating. 'Psychometric assessment allows us
to take the pool of all potential partners, narrow it down and
introduce only those you're highly compatible with,' says Dr Gian
Gonzaga, a senior research scientist at eharmony.co.uk. Developed
in the early 20th century by scientists, these tests were used to
recruit spies by the British during World War II and were then later
taken up by the CIA. In the Sixties, Professor Raymond Cattell
invented questionnaires that
looked at a range of personality traits in the workplace. The Civil
Service still uses the system today both in recruiting and to help its
managers find the best way to mange their staff according to their
psychometric profiles. FULL ARTICLE @ DAILYMAIL.CO.UK
