If you are looking for a new way to waste countless hours on the Internet, okcupid.com is definitely a place to check out. The founders of The Spark and SparkNotes have created Okcupid, a matchmaking site that incorporates the myriad of quizzes on The Spark with a dating component.
Creating a profile takes seconds, and once you’re in the system, you’re free to answer as many relationship questions and personality quizzes as your heart desires. The creators claim to make the matches mathematically, using every answer you give to each quiz or question as a sample of your personality. You can see other people’s quiz and survey results and decide if he or she is the right person for you.
Although the website provides the time-wasting entertainment we love so much around finals time – reading the profiles of some of the other members is almost as fun as finding out where you rank in the quizzes – don’t expect the matches to bring you true love. The matching system is random at best, and you’re probably better off talking to your crush in your calculus class instead.
