Users answer questions about their preferences and habits. The test asks about things like handling stress or weekend plans. Facebook Dating uses these answers to find people who might get along well. It adds another layer to how matches are suggested.

This tool is optional. People can choose to take the test. Their answers help the system find potential partners with similar outlooks. It focuses on long-term compatibility. The goal is deeper relationships.

“We see people want meaningful connections,” said a Facebook Dating spokesperson. “Matching personalities helps with that. It gives users another way to find someone right for them.”

The feature is rolling out globally. Existing users will see the option in their Dating profile settings. New users can take the test during setup. Facebook Dating profiles already include photos, interests, and events. The personality test adds another dimension. Results are private and only used for matching within Facebook Dating. They are not shared on the main Facebook app or with friends.
