Chemistry Review

Chemistry.com is one of the few sites with interesting algorithm and features. Its main attraction is the in-depth personality test during sign up process.

The test is similar to the Myers-Briggs personality test where you will fall under 4 personality types: The Builder, Negotiator, Explorer or Director, and indicated by a primary and secondary type. (Example: Primary type: Negotiator, Secondary Type: Explorer.) Other personality and habit-related questions are added when you complete your profile. The personality test was developed by Dr. Helen Fisher, an anthropologist who's been researching relationships for more than 30 years.

With over 518,000 visits monthly, it’s not as large as its other competition but definitely makes one of the few interesting dating sites out there where members can look for a deeper and fulfilling relationships, many of them looking for marriage. The site matches you with compatible members based on personality test results.

Although the members may be less diverse, it still caters to members from around the world and open to interracial as well as local dating making it a worthy candidate of the top international dating sites on our list. This Editor's review of Chemistry is an analysis of their website, ratings and any complaints noted.

Review of the Process at Chemistry

• Signup

The signup is simple with a neat and friendly site interface.

• After providing your username choice and password, you’ll need to answer an in-depth personality test.
• After that, the test result will be displayed which can also be accessed through clicking the “My Profile” window.

• Your wall will show a stream of compatible members you can either like or skip, as well as newly registered members near your area.
• Searching for compatible members will look like this:

• There’s a “Matches” feature where you can see who matches your personality. A list of five will be presented and to view other profiles, an option of whether you like the match or not before proceeding to see next profile is presented.
• When you click on a match’s profile, a description of how and why you both could be a great match is available for you to view.

• But messaging (receiving and viewing messages), chatting, and sending flirts will require an upgrade.
