ashleyisachild and jonpin I found the personality quiz at http://devel.okcupid.com/. Now...
For each type, you'll notice, there is a list of "avoid"s and a list of "consider"s. Pinyam[0] noted that while DBLDf (Ashley's type) had RBLDm (his type) listed as a consider, the reverse was not true. Naturally you can guess what I did in response to that. I went to every single type, and drew a giant directed graph of all the considers. I ignored the avoids, though I might take account for those later. I also couldn't figure out what the h parameter does, so I left it out and ignored it. Note that I did not actually draw all the connections coming out of RGSMf, I just specially marked it, along with DBLDm and DBLDf.
Anyway I found that while only 8 out of the 32 types did not have any pairs (ie A consider B, B consider A), very few of the actual considers themselves ran both ways. Another thing I noticed was that, excepting RGSMf, no aGbcd type considers any wBxyz type. While I did not draw the avoids, I did notice there exist A and B st A considers B, B avoids A. Hm. Also it should be noted, if you haven't noticed yet, that the quiz is completely symmetric around sexual orientation, so I left that dimension off as it wouldn't have added anything to included. (Given that the quiz includes an option for bisexual, you would think there would be a way to display both at once, but I could find none.) Alternatively, you can think of it as abcdm and abcdf always have the same considered-bys. (And avoided-bys, but, of course, that was not recorded.)
Anyway, after I finally finished drawing the thing with all its horribly crossing arrows, I looked through it for all consider-pairs. They are:
DGLMm/DGLMm, DGLMm/DGLMf, DGLMf/DGLMf, DGLDm/DGLDm, RGLMm/RGLMm, RGLMm/RGLMf, RGLMf/RGLMf, RGLMm/RGLDm, RGLMm/RGLDf, RGLMf/RGLDm, RGLMf/RGLDf, DGSMf/DGSMf, DGSMm/DGSMm, DGSMm/DGSMf, DGSMf/DGSDf, DGSDm/RGSMf, DBSMf/DBSMf, DBSMm/DBSMm, DBSMm/DBSMf, DBLMf/DBLMf, RBSMm/RBSMm, RBSMf/RBSMf, RBSMm/RBSMf, RBSDm/RBSDm, RBLMm/RBLMm, RBLMf/RBLMf, RBLMm/RBLMf, RGSMf/RGLMf, RGSMf/DBSDf, RGSMf/RBSMf, RGSMf/DBSDm, RGSMf/RBSDf, RGSMf/RGSMf
There are 33 pairs. 17, a bare majority, are self-pairs; note that this also means that 17 out of the 32 types self-pair. Of the 15 remaining pairs, 6 are with RGSMf. (Of course RGSMf really has 7 pairs because it also self-pairs.)
The following 8 types do not pair:
DGLDf RGSMm RGSDm RGSDf DBLMm DBLDf RBLDm RBLDf
ADDENDUM: Of the 15 non self-pairs, 5 are between abcdm and abcdf. That leaves just 4 pairs of two actually different types where neither type is RGSMf. Also, I'll note here that, for whatever reason, RGSDm and RGSDf have no considers, though they do have considered-bys. Every type has at least one considered-by; the only 2 types with only 1 are DBLDm and DBLDf (it would be 2, but those also happen to be the two types not considered by RGSMf).
Do I have too much free time or what?

...and I really *will* do the avoids, too... *g*
ADDENDUM (yes another one): Wow, I totally forgot to mention that I took the SAT today... it was easy, as always... maybe a few mistakes on the verbal...

Date: 2004-01-24 02:24 pm (UTC)Also, how did you figure out all these consider pairs??
What did you get on the quiz, btw?
no subject
Date: 2004-01-24 02:29 pm (UTC)From my graph. Once I had made the graph, I looked at each type, and checked to see if it paired. If you're asking how I made the graph, it was by going through every type. I don't know what the h parameter does, though, like I said, so it's *possible* I may have missed something.
I got RGLDm.
