Smart Matrimony's personality questionnaire has been created in cooperation with the Professor Emeritus of Psychology (PhD) at Pennsylvania State University. It is loosely based on the Five Factor Model theory of personality traits established on the psychological model developed by McCrae and Costa (1992), as well as other well-known personality theories . Your responses are collated, analysed and compared to responses of other users allowing us to develop a deeper understanding of your personality. We combine this analysis with your ideal partner criteria to provide you with matches. We believe this matching process leads to deeper levels of compatibility and more meaningful relationships.

You can update your matching parameters from the 'Ideal Partner' section of your Profile page.

We take a combination of your preferences (age, height, location etc.) and your personality assessment to match you with others based on both your preferences as well as your respective personalities.

Smart Matrimony will never ask you for your password. Always keep this safe.

Meeting someone online that you like can be very exciting! However one should also take certain precautions when interacting with others online. Take your time to get to know the person. This allows you to assess their authenticity. Be particularly vigilant if someone is asking for your personal information. If someone wants to communicate with you outside of Smart Matrimony providing an email address can be a good first step as it can validate the authenticity of the individual. It may be wise to create a separate email account used for this type of interaction. Be particularly wary of users who are impatient and demand your phone number very quickly. Most of all, never provide any kind of financial information to other users. The question to ask yourself in all your online interactions is ... if this person asked me this in real life how would I respond?

We recommend you communicate with users via Smart Matrimony until you have gotten to know them and have developed a certain amount of trust. This way you can be sure that any inappropriate behaviour can be flagged and investigated. Always take your time in getting to know someone first and assessing their authenticity before providing any personal information. Be particularly vigilant of those who ask for such information very quickly and those who ask for any kind of financial information.

Smart Matrimony reviews every profile before it is approved and only paid members can communicate with you. You can also look out for indicators such as if someone asks for your personal contact details very soon after you first start talking. If someone is 22 and claims to be a surgeon ... is that realistic? Always be wary of people asking for money ... this is a sure indicator of a scam and you should cease communication and notify Smart Matrimony immediately.

If another member is asking for money this is a strong indicator of a scam. Cease communication immediately and report the user using the 'Report' button on the profile page. You can also inform Smart Matrimony via the 'Contact Us' page.

Smart Matrimony reviews and approves all profiles and we have a robust process of monitoring activity for any inappropriate content or behaviour. However, we need your help to regulate the Smart Matrimony community of which you are a part. If you see or experience any such content/behavior please report it immediately using the 'Report' button on the Profile Page. You can also inform Smart Matrimony via the 'Contact Us' page.

You can upgrade to a paid membership by selecting 'Upgrade' from your Home page.

Your paid membership cannot be cancelled during the duration of the paid membership period. You can delete your profile during this time however the membership will continue. Your paid membership will automatically expire in line with the original duration of your paid membership. Free membership can be cancelled at any time by deleting your profile from your 'Account' page. Please refer to the Terms and Conditions for details.

Gold membership allows you to benefit from 1-2-1 matchmaking. You will first be assigned a matchmaker who will spend time with you to learn more about you. Your matchmaker will then search across our network to find you a suitable match. In order to provide you with the best service, and to maximise the chances of success, our team needs an adequate amount of time to work with you to find you the best possible match.
