TellMeTwin.com is a brand new website developed in Iceland which allows users to build up a bank of personality ‘twins’ from all over the world.
Tell Me Twin uses a sophisticated range of personality tests and online self psychoanalysis (the rating of likes & dislikes), and then compares results using a rigid and ingenious set of mathematical formulae to suggest other users with the closest personalities.
Not only are the tests and self psychoanalysis fun, but finding new friends, new ideas, new recommendations and advice is also fun – and may prove to be useful in more practical ways too.
In addition to finding users’ closest personality ‘twins’, it is also possible to find best romantic links, and even to get chatting with ‘evil twins’: users with polar opposite interests and personalities.
Tell Me Twin is scheduled for full launch in the summer, but is already signing up users for its in-house Beta testing stage. Apply to take part at www.TellMeTwin.com
