Step 2: Take the personality test

In order to find like-minded matches, we need to know more about what you think and how you feel. The personality test is a fundamental part of our successful matchmaking method as it gives us an in-depth understanding of your attributes and personality.

The personality test is based on McCrae and Costa’s renowned ‘Five Factor Model’. Based on psychological theory of personality, the test evaluates you across five domains: openness, conscientiousness, extraversion, agreeableness, and neuroticism. It is central to our matchmaking process, and based on these results, the smart profiling can send you 3-7 compatible matches daily. The questions are not difficult, however, put the time aside to answer honestly and in a relaxed manner. Taking the personality test will help us to identify compatible singles, and is one of the principal ways we stand out from our competitors. How does EliteSingles work for you? Now you know!

Step 3: Complete your online profile

Once you have completed the personality test, it’s time to add the personal details to your profile. Complete the personal information on your profile accurately, and double-check it for any mistakes. Our top tip is to approach this process with a positive attitude, as this will come across when your matches visit your profile.

Selecting your photographs is an important step in setting up an engaging profile. Your profile photographs act as your first impression online, and so it is worth putting some thought into your selection. On your EliteSingles account, you can upload photos in the following formats: JPG, GIF, PNG or MBP, but ensure that your photograph does not exceed 9.7 MB in size. Choose an image that is taken in a good lighting, and preferably one in which you feel comfortable. The best photographs for your profile are images which include only you, as a group of people may be confusing to your potential matches. And lastly, show your face clearly – your potential matches want to see the real you on your profile!

Step 4: Receive profile suggestions

At the heart of how to use EliteSingles successfully is the matchmaking process itself. The matching starts with the personality test, which is used to identify suitable profiles. Beyond looking at the levels of various personality attributes in the personality test, EliteSingles’ smart profiling also looks at what is important to you in terms of lifestyle, location, and relationship goals.

Evaluating your unique details and using an algorithm to compare compatibility, the matchmaking process selects and sends you profiles who match with your preferences. We aim to send you 3-7 personalized profile suggestions daily; however, you can also use our ‘Have you met…’ feature to actively search out additional profile matches for yourself.
