PARSHIP’s compatibility matching genuinely can help single men and women find their way to a real relationship: nearly 40% of PARSHIP’s Premium Members report that they have found someone special through the service. The matching process is based on more than 30 years of academic research into relationships. Its centrepiece, the PARSHIP compatibility test, gauges some 30 different aspects of each member’s personality; each of these traits is key to his or her behaviour in a relationship.
