Several months ago I was reading a blog that mentioned a site that allows you to create your own online dating matching quiz which you may then post on your blogs, websites, and social networking pages. It is generated by the answers you give to the basic quiz.

I thought this sounded interesting, so I took it. However, there are a few things I discovered after I took it:

• It is part of a free ‘dating/hookup’ site. You can take the test independently, but it is part of the site, which offers a plethora of staff and user created quizzes.
• The site is very representative of the people in the world around us. It is very ‘open’ which means that some of the questions in the quiz are very ‘open’ as well. If you are easily offended, do not take the quiz.
• If you take the quiz, you have the option to just skip (not answer) any questions you don’t like or don’t want to answer. You will not be ‘penalized’ or given a ‘sorry, you must answer all the questions’ prompt.
• If I recall correctly, the quiz seemed to go on forever.

In hindsight, this is how I think it is set up:

• As it is part of the site, your results are also used on the site. I may have had to set up a basic profile for the quiz – I cannot remember and I have auto login so it wont let me see it from a non-member view.

• The site uses this quiz for its own matching, too. Because of this, you have to answer a set number of questions before it is statistically determined that you can get adequate matching results.

• You can take the quiz in chunks as you have time – you don’t have to do it all at once.

• At some point you will have generated your own ‘Match Me’ quiz and be given code to use in your blogs, websites, and social networking pages. Others who click on these links will be given the quiz generated for YOU in order to see how well they match up with YOU.

If you would like to create your own online dating matching quiz, you may do so here: Ok Cupid Match Me Quiz

If you want to see what a completed quiz looks like, you may take my quiz here: Dani’s Ok Cupid Match Me Quiz

*NOTE: The quiz is free, and I don’t get anything for you creating your own quiz or taking mine. I listed mine only so you could see what a completed one looks like before committing to creating your own - which, as stated in the blog post, could be a bit time-consuming.
Today’s Question is for those who checked out/took one or both quizzes: What do you think of the quiz(zes)? Pros/cons and likes/dislikes. Please indicate about which quiz you are commenting.
