The ads are all over the site, but there’s very little information on it:

The eHarmony Premium Personality Profile is an expanded version of our standard Personality Profile. Based on state-of-the-art psychological research, it provides you with an in-depth analysis of 15 critical aspects of your personality and allows you to:

• Discover your best qualities and areas of improvement
• Learn how aspects of your personality directly impact your personal and professional relationships
• Empower yourself with a deep understanding of what makes you who you are

That’s it. No guarantees, no refunds, no samples, no acrobatics, no light show. 15 (web)pages of goodness for a low price of $19.95.

You also get a nice yellow icon.

= you Paid for a PPP

Scott says,

Finally met someone who paid for the expanded personality profile.

How do I know?

Because it sticks an icon on the “About me” page when you buy it.

Basically, tagging yourself as a sad, desperate person. Good going, eHarmony…

Hahaha. This is what Scott is saying; here’s how it looks like:

I don’t know, Scott. If someone wants to spend $20 to “discover your best qualities and areas of improvement”, “learn how aspects of yada-yada” and yada-yada, I say, good for her. People spend more on fortune tellers for less gain.

It used to cost $9.95 when eHarmony introduced it six months ago.

I bet people are curious though — what does the expanded profile look like?

Fifteen Page Premium Personality Profile Provided for Perusal

It so happens that I have an actual Premium Personality Profile hanging around here. It’s not a sample, it’s from an actual person who paid money to get a PPP. Here it is, converted to PDF, for anyone who cares to see.

Each link is a PDF between 71 to 82 kilobytes. You will need Acrobat Reader to read them.

I know they are weird headings, but what can we do? I mean they could have stuck with either nouns or adjectives. I looked up “Information Processor” in Wikipedia and got a laugh.

Did anybody here buy a PPP?

Tell us in the comments — take charge and offer a good word.
