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
