personality test which not only measures your personal likes, dislikes and attitudes; but also the
personality you like in a date. When the following questionnaire is completed by you and we
receive it, the information is placed in the Computer Memory File. The computer then matches
the qualifications of every member of the opposite sex and selects the five or more best matches
for you.”
