Tips and tricks: How to tell if a member joined eHarmony after August 2006

Today’s eHarmony trick lets you find out if your match is recent or not. We later found that this trick isn’t an “if and only if”, so it’s not foolproof, but it’s accurate enough to tell whether the person that you’ve nudged or to whom you’ve sent initial communication is a fresh member.

As you know, if bread is not fresh, it’s probably stale and dry. :)

On your match’s page, click “Personality Profile” beside the photo area, if the following new window appears, your match took the test after August 2006

Personality profile after 1 September 2006

This report is from the new 250-item compatibility test. Note the green “Personality profile” text and that it appears on a new window. For matches who took the old 436+-item test, eH displays the following:

There you go. Happy New Year everyone!

    People with the new display may actually be fresher – the first match that I got was in mid-September and had the old screen.

    Is the new questionnaire just shorter (did they simply eliminate questions) or is it a new set of questions altogether? Does anyone have this new set of questions – I’d be curious to see how it differs from the original.

    I’m somewhat disappointed that they’ve shortened the questionnaire; I think that the longer version would tend to be a bit more accurate, as well as weed out the less than serious.
