There’s a myriad of quiz websites out there that reckon they can tell you all sorts of useless shit. Which one of the Friends crew are you? Take a quiz. When are you gonna cark it? There’s a quiz for that too, my friend.
Most are based on absolutely nothing, but others are claiming to use big data to compare your results against huge databases. That doesn’t necessarily make them more accurate, but it is interesting to see how it stacks you up against thousands of others.
The latest such example comes from US tech firm DataRobot, who have used a Stanford University study on relationships to create a quiz that aims to predict the likelihood you and your partner will stay together.
“DataRobot analyzed thousands of couples and boiled the results down to SIX questions,” says the website.
I’d argue that life and relationships are far too complicated to be condensed into six questions, but hey, that’s just me. The questions range from you and your partner’s age, education and the number of extended family members you see on average each month.
“We’re not doing anything fancy, this is letting the data speak,” director Greg Michaelson told Business Insider. “My perspective is that I’d rather know what the data says, then make an informed decision.”
At the end of the quiz, you’ll get a percentage chance of the relationship working followed by how each of your answers affected the result.
You can give it a go right bloody here.
