Some of the people I was over 90% with are people I know I wouldn't be compatible with. Some of the people with low compatibility scores for me are people I know I'd be compatible with.
Brian, this (and your response to mine) make me think of affirmations. You know how back in the seventies the big thing was to say nice things to yourself about yourself so that you'd eventually reach that point? They worked -- to some extent. It was a big challenge for some people, but eventually they tended to work.
But what works much better than to say nice things is to say not-so-nice things. Those are much easier to internalize and believe. Every time someone says something like, "I'm not compatible with anyone," or something similar, it's an affirmation. It makes it much easier to believe next time.
