Background Research
Romantic Compatibility™ is a proprietary system created by Neal Cabage, the founder of eRomance®,
who holds a degree in Psychology from the University of Washington. It is based on a significant history of Psychological research.
Jungian Types Research
Carl Jung
was the first modern Psychologist to attempt to qualify personality with his work called
Personality Types.
Katherine Briggs
and her daughter
Isabel Myers
later mechanized Jungian Personality Types by creating a personality test (MBTI) that would assign one of 16 possible personality types, based on the combination of 4 attributes. Later revisions of this Personality Types work would be done by
David Keirsey
as well as the recent
Socionics
movement.
Lexical Hypothesis Research
Concurrent to the work being done on the Personality Types research,
Gordon Allport
began work on the
Lexical Hypothesis
and later
Raymond Cattell
with his
16 Personality Factors
would lay the foundation for the eventual development of the
Big Five personality
test (also know as OCEAN).
While the Jungian-based work of
Myers-Briggs®,
and Kiersey tried to qualify personality as one of 16 personality types, the Big Five personality traits looked at the quality of personality on 5 personality traits such as openness and agreeableness.
New Approach To Compatibility
Romantic Compatibility™ is built in part on the observation of similarities between these two parallel tracks of personality research, but also upon bridging perceived gaps when attempting to apply these existing methodologies specifically to predicting compatibility for a romantic relationship. The result is a tool that is easy to use and based on a solid history of scientific research, but also one that is optimized for the specific use of predicting romantic compatibility between to people.
