Compatibility Scoring

The algorithm ranks candidates 0.0–1.0 across six dimensions:

• Personality (30%) — Similarity on O/A/C, complementarity on E/N
• Interests (15%) — Jaccard similarity + token overlap + bonus for 2+ shared
• Communication (15%) — Similarity in verbosity, formality, humor, emoji usage
• Looking For (15%) — Keyword similarity between looking_for texts
• Relationship Preference (15%) — Same = 1.0, monogamous vs non-monogamous = 0.1
• Gender/Seeking (10%) — Bidirectional check. seeking: ["any"] always matches
