The Potential for Compatibility (PFC) indicates how well your two personalities blend….how closely the two of you are on the same overall mental-emotional wavelength.  The PFC score for two people is identical regardless of whether you're viewing their profile or they're viewing yours.

Even though it is very possible, it does not necessarily show how much the two of you have in common. For example, you may have a high PFC score and have completely different tastes in pizza toppings, radio stations, political views, etc.  However, the higher your PFC score, the better your two unique personalities will find peace and harmony with each other’s likes and dislikes.  Without needing to change anything about yourselves in order to become that way, your two personalities are naturally, comfortable "old shoes" with each other.  The more peace and harmony in the relationship, the more likely you'll be happy together if a long-term romantic relationship were to develop.

The PFC scores of your closest relationships of any kind (whether romantic or not) will tend to be noticably higher than the PFC scores of relationships where the bond between you and the other person isn't so close.

Most relationships and married couples fall into a PFC range somewhere between -20 to +45 (with most of these falling between -10 and +35).  The average PFC for any two random strangers is about +5 to +8.  Over 50% of relationships and marriages don't last for the long-term and, in retrospect, were "never meant to be" from the beginning. This is why you want as high a Potential for Compatibility score with someone as possible. 

Each person must be the judge of what they feel constitutes a "high" PFC score.  For example, the value PersonA feels is an typical, mid-range PFC score for themselves might be considered by PersonB to be rather high compared to the ones PersonB is used to seeing for themself.

For the average person, only about 1 in 100 people will score above 80 PFC .  This is probably a good score to hold as the relative minimum jumping off point when seeking someone who might be your true soul mate.  For some people, there will be no birth dates within their desired age range of partners who will score as high as 80 PFC. 

If you're sincere about seeking your most compatible person (i.e. "soul mate"), we advise you to look for those who have a PFC within the top 10% of your 10 Year Average Grid (created using the Soulmate Predictor software).

Strife

The Strife value is the most important number in knowing whether you and the profile owner have any possibility of long-term compatibiilty and happiness together. It shows whether the profile owner's personality will have any HIGH natural friction with you in a close, intimate relationship.

The profile owner may have Strife with you, or you may have Strifewith them, or you may have Strife with each other...but hopefully, you won''t have any Strife at all.

Don't even think about a relationship if either you have a Strife factor!  Eventually, your relationship will be filled with "strife."  However long it takes for the new to wear off the relationship is how long it will take to see the effects of the Strife factor(s).  There will be tears -- and depending on the personalities of the individuals involved -- there could be the possibility of violence.  The majority of married couples (and other relationships) who never stop fighting very likely have at least one Strife factor between them. 

It's not impossible that you and over 51% of the members in this Database may have a Strife factor with each other.  This is merely reflecting your compatibility with the population of the world at large.  Some rare individuals will have a Strife factor with quite a bit fewer than 50% of other members.

Because you have no possiblity of long-term compatibilty with them, anyone having a Strife factor with you will not appear in your My Top 100 list...and you will not apperar in theirs  This ensures this list contains only members having any possibility of long-term compatibility with you (even if that possibility is very small, i.e. a very low PFC score).

People having an unknown birth time will appear in your My Top 100 list with their PFC score in red.  Due to their unknown birth time it can't be known for certain that you and they do not have a Strife factor between yourselves.

Love
This is the natural magnetic attraction the profile owner feels for you.  This is sort of the "emotional glue" of a relationship and and indicates how "attractive and appealing" the profile owner's personality will appear to you after the new wears off the relationship. 

A high number here might lead you to experience a "love at first encounter" reaction to their personality (even if you have never met in person). 

A value as low as zero or 1 does not mean that your relationship won't be extremely happy....but the higher your Love factor, the more "best friends forever" bond there will be to get you through the rough spots which occur in any relationship.

Friendship
This is like a weaker version of the Love factor.   The more Friendship factors you have, the closer and lasting friendship you will have (even if the relationship doesn’t work out).  It's unusual to see any match-up with out any Friendship factors.

Friction
This is the weaker version of Strife and it would be rare to see any relationship without any Friction factors at all. Unless the value is excessively high, there’s  no cause for concern.  It's unusual to see any match-up with out any Friction factors.

Amount overall chemistry I feel with profile owner
Will the profile owner’s personality have a beneficial or unbeneficial affect on your personality?

Amount overall chemistry profile owner feels with me
Will the your personality have a beneficial or unbeneficial affect on the profile owner’s personality?

The closer in value the Amount overall chemistry I feel with profile owner and Amount overall chemistry profile owner feels with me, the more closely matched the relationship (since you two are so closely on the same wavelength).  If one person has a much larger value (say, twice the amount of the chemistry) they will bring noticeably more positive values to the relationship. 

It's not unusual to see couples with what seems to be very high Amount overall chemistry values who also have a low Potential for Compatibility score....and it's not unusual to see high PFC scores even though the Amount overall chemistry values don't appear to be very high.

Who you should be looking for (in order)
1.  Those people having the highest PFC scores, and then... 
2.  Those with the highest Love factors
3.  Those with the highest Friendship factors
4.  Those with the lowest Friction factors
It's a given you want to avoid anyone with any amount of Stife.

Why seek those with high PFC scores over those with high Love factors?  Because you can have all the attraction for each other in the world (i.e. Love)...but if you aren't on the overall same general wavelength (i.e. PFC) then the relationship won't be long-term.

If you meet someone with a PFC score of approximately 80 or higher (and who doesn't have any Strife with you) you will instantly notice the pleasant difference in how smoothly your relationship flows compared to a relationship with someone within the -20 to 45 range.  Be prepared to be wowed when you meet anyone with a score that high!

NOTE:  No two people have the same "ruler scale" of personality compatibilty and therefore, the value of "80" mentioned above might be at the very upper limit of some people's ruler-scale (i.e. "peaked out" in amount of compatibility possible with ANY person)....while the value of "80" might only be relatively low on another person's ruler-scale.

The subject of ruler-scales is covered more in depth in the Soulmate Predictor software's help files..  A fully functioning copy of the the Soulmate Predictor software can be downloaded for free.
