🧠 Scientific Personality Compatibility Calculator

A comprehensive, scientifically-grounded personality compatibility assessment tool built with HEXACO and MBTI psychological models. This application provides detailed compatibility analysis, personalized insights, and relationship recommendations based on validated personality frameworks.

✨ Key Features

🔬 Scientific Foundation

• HEXACO Model: Six-factor personality assessment (Honesty-Humility, Emotionality, Extraversion, Agreeableness, Conscientiousness, Openness)
• MBTI Integration: Complete 16-type compatibility matrix with cognitive function analysis
• Advanced Scoring: Multiple similarity metrics (Euclidean, Cosine, Manhattan, Correlation)
• Reliability Measures: Cronbach's Alpha and test-retest reliability calculations

💻 Enhanced User Experience

• Interactive Streamlit Interface: Modern, responsive web application
• Progress Tracking: Real-time completion status and session management
• Multiple Input Methods: Take assessments or use sample profiles
• Data Persistence: Export/import session data
• Mobile-Responsive: Optimized for all device sizes

📊 Comprehensive Analysis

• Detailed Compatibility Reports: Multi-dimensional analysis with actionable insights
• Visual Comparisons: Interactive radar charts and trait visualizations
• Personalized Recommendations: Relationship advice based on personality differences
• Historical Tracking: Comparison history and trend analysis

🛠️ Technical Excellence

• Modular Architecture: Clean, maintainable codebase with separation of concerns
• Error Handling: Comprehensive validation and graceful error recovery
• Type Safety: Full type hints and validation
• Comprehensive Testing: 95%+ test coverage with unit and integration tests

🚀 Quick Start

Prerequisites

• Python 3.8 or higher
• pip package manager

📖 Usage Guide

Taking the Assessment

1. Select Users: Choose to take the HEXACO test or use sample profiles
2. Complete HEXACO Questionnaire: Rate statements on a 1-5 scale for each personality trait
3. Select MBTI Types: Choose the appropriate Myers-Briggs types for both users
4. Calculate Compatibility: Get comprehensive compatibility analysis

Understanding Results

• HEXACO Similarity (70% weight): Measures trait-level compatibility
• MBTI Compatibility (30% weight): Assesses type dynamics and cognitive functions
• Overall Score: Weighted combination with detailed explanations

Compatibility Scale

• 90-100%: Exceptional compatibility with natural harmony
• 80-89%: High compatibility with strong potential
• 70-79%: Good compatibility with growth opportunities
• 60-69%: Moderate compatibility requiring effort
• 50-59%: Challenging but workable with commitment
• Below 50%: Complex dynamics requiring significant understanding

📊 Scientific Validation

HEXACO Model

Based on the six-factor model of personality (Lee & Ashton, 2004):

• Validated across multiple cultures and languages
• Strong psychometric properties (α > 0.80 for all factors)
• Predictive validity for various life outcomes

MBTI Integration

• Complete 16x16 compatibility matrix
• Cognitive function analysis (Jung's psychological types)
• Type dynamics and interaction patterns

Compatibility Algorithms

• Multiple distance metrics for robust similarity assessment
• Weighted scoring based on empirical relationship research
• Statistical significance testing and confidence intervals
