Yahoo Personals profile setup review

Yahoo Personals Site Navigation Review

Yahoo Personals design and site navigation is easy to understand and to browse. There are not difficult browsing schemes, many text links and a lot of multicolored buttons. Photos loading is fast due the powerful Yahoo servers so you should wait 20-30 second while photo is loading. Maybe Yahoo Personals design is has a bit single-color background but it does not confuse users. All needed buttons are on profile page and it easy to use all services.

All members have save search option so it is easy to repeat search by the selected criterias (like distance from your location, keyword search and personals name search).

Relationship Types and Activities at Yahoo Personals

Yahoo personals offers basic relationship types as all other dating sites do. You can search by these criterias: woman seeking man, man seeking woman, woman seeking woman and man seeking man. One Yahoo Personals distinctive feature is their dating help sections. All members can read dating tips made by famous psychologists, dating advices, different stories about online dating experience and much more.

The key feauture of Yahoo! Personals is their FREE Personality and Love Style Test! It deserve a few words separately. Here is quote from Yahoo! Personals what they say about their tests:

"The Yahoo! Personality & Love Style Test and Report were designed by weAttract.com, Inc. and developed in collaboration with Yahoo! Personals. It draws on decades of social science research, as well as studies by its primary inventors, Drs. Mark Thompson and Glenn Hutchinson, and a panel of national academic experts and advisors. The final development stage of the Test and Report was based upon studies with over 100,000 adult Internet users.

In this test, you'll find not only well-established methods, such as tests involving descriptive words and phrases, but also new and innovative approaches developed by weAttract.com. Dr. Thompson recalls the impetus of the test 15 years ago: "I did a study using videotapes of people describing themselves and discovered...sort of by accident...that it was a great way to assess personality." In the test, you will rate your similarity to interviews like these, in addition to photographs, cartoons, and sketches. "Words don't always capture who we are," notes Dr. Hutchinson. "When it comes to admitting to our quirks and shortcomings, it's often easier to relate to an image or say it with a little humor in a cartoon."

"Unlike the questionnaires popular on other sites, the Yahoo Personals! Test is totally customized for you. It uses "smart algorithms" to learn from the choices you make and then presents tailored follow-up questions to get a clear portrait of your personality. This approach makes it more than 30 minutes worth of questions into a 10-minute customized test. "

When we have finished this test we were nicely amazed with results. 85-90% were about ourselves. Usually online tests are close only at 50-70% with reality but after completing yahoo personals tests we were shocked with results. Another important advantage is that you can read test results and search for personals which match your personality type. You know who you are and whom you seeking for - this unique matchmaking system is very interesting comparing with other matchmaking sites systems when you don't the criterias how matchmaking system finds matches for you. To complete Yahoo Personality profile it's enough to have Yahoo ID (Yahoo Personals is not necessary).
