importance of psychological traits versus socio demographic and physical characteristics varies not only with the seriousness and intended length of the desired relationship but also with gender the following table is an example that illustrates the weight assigned to the pt score relative to the pd score depending on the type of relationship and the gender of the user for example if a man specifies in step 101 that he is seeking a life partner then the pt score is weighed one and a half times the averaged pd score however if the user is a woman seeking a life partner the pt score is weighed two and a quarter times the pd score this reflects the empirical observation that for serious longer term relationships psychological traits are more important than socio demographic characteristics physical characteristics and interests and hobbies furthermore the importance of psychological traits is greater for women than for men the specific numbers used in the chart are merely examples based on empirical research and are therefore subject to change as new research is performed returning to fig1 after the paired tci is calculated the invention generates a match profile that ranks the targets according to how well they match the user step 107 all target candidates in the database that are not excluded during filtering in step 103 are included in the ranked profile according to their respective tci scores in addition to the tci score the user is also provided with a detailed breakdown for each person listed in the ranked profile this breakdown specifies how the user is or is not compatible with the target in regard to particular psychological demographic and physical traits because it is highly improbable that two people are perfectly compatible with each other the invention.
