I was dissatisfied with the compatibility of the matches I have been getting and decided to re-take the questionnaire at last.

A lot of the personality traits I look for in a partner were missing in my matches. I am hoping that this will fix this issue. The CSR told me that it has been 1.5 years since I replied all the questions, and maybe what I am looking for has changed in the mean time.

My fingers are crossed that this will help bring matches which are better suited to my personality.

I thought I would share this earth shattering important piece of information with you all

Good luck! I'll be very interested to hear your experience. Did you read your personality report? Does it sound different than the old one?

I forgot all about that I should have made a copy of the old one. I just finished the questions .....They were somewhat different then the least ones if my memory serveds me right.

I found it, thanks, and commented on it about my experience taking the test. I am hoping that I will get better matches, people seem to be positive about that.

EH just offered me a really good deal for another 3 months. Regarding EH, I have said "Never, ever again!" but if I decide to take them up on their offer, I will definitely retake the questionnaire. It has been about 1.5 years for me, too. I have never found the vast majority of my matches to be great matches. And, I know I had printed out the personality profile and stashed it somewhere, so that would be an interesting comparison. Perhaps I'll retake the questionnaire, see how the profile compares, and then if I see significant changes, I may take EH up on their offer.

Good luck! I haven't been on any dates yet, which will be the real test. But so far I've been noticing that the matches feel closer to what I would have expected to receive based on my personality. It's also interesting because in my first month of using it last time around I wasn't really excited about my matches and thought my response rate seemed pitiful. Now it's the exact opposite. I'm really pleased with the kinds of matches I've received and the response rate. I wish I had written down the #'s last time to compare. But overall it feels like I am connecting better with my matches.

But like I said, it will be curious to see how this plays out on dates. One of the things I struggle with is that while I think the questionnaire has good intentions it is still open to user error. I also know I struggled with some of the questions and it didn't always seem straight forward to answer.
