The compatibility score shows how closely your answers align with someone else's. A higher score means your answers are more similar.

We use a proprietary algorithm informed by psychological research. It considers multiple factors from both people's answers and preferences to calculate compatibility.

You can only see answers to questions you have answered yourself. From those, a rotating selection of the other person's public answers is available to everyone. A Premium subscription lets you see more of the public answers they have chosen to share.

The more questions you answer, the more shared answers YayOrNay can compare with other people. This creates richer compatibility results and helps you find people with similar values, interests and views, making it more likely that you will get along.

Compatibility scores are not fixed. They update regularly as either person answers more questions or changes their preferences.

YayOrNay needs enough questions that both of you have answered to calculate a compatibility score. Answering more questions increases the chance that there will be enough overlap to compare your answers.

No. Dream Mode is optional. It lets you say when you would prefer someone who answers differently from you. For example, if you do not enjoy driving but would prefer someone who does, you can set that as your Dream answer so compatibility reflects what you are looking for.

Each score shows how prominent a trait appears in your personality based on your answers. A score closer to 100 means the trait appears more strongly, while a score closer to 0 means it appears less strongly. It is not a grade, and there is no ideal score.

The gold marker shows the median score for YayOrNay users on that trait. This is the middle position, with about half of users scoring below it and half above it. It helps you compare your score with a typical user position, not a target.

Your Personality Assessment is based on your answers. Answering new questions or changing previous answers can update your assessment and trait scores.

No. You cannot edit a trait score directly. If a score feels completely wrong, review your answers and make sure they reflect your current values and opinions. Each score is an estimate based on your answers and psychological research, and it may change as your answers change.

No. Your full assessment is private unless you choose to share it yourself.
