#2 To prevent abuse, we need to ensure that
everyone taking the 8^8 test is a human
and not a bot. Click on all of the icons
below that represent animals.
Good one.
Don't get me wrong, it's a cute idea, although I have to say that I'm not sure I'd get along with someone who thinks exactly as I do.
Edit: I've passed the spam test and started the "test" - most of the answers are "none of the above" or "any one of these 4". The usual frustrating experience. I mean:

And then the site is so slow it only shows me 5 of 7 images, the other two failing to load. Good one.

Yeah, I can't seem to pass the spam test either.

Looks like you found eachother.

#5Took quite a while due to the site crashing several times, but I finished it.
I think of it as an interesting experiment - even if nothing ends up coming from it.
My largest concern is there are about 3 questions where I was torn between two answers. I'm thinking I should create email addresses to "cover every base" by alternating my answers on those 3 questions in every permutation. On the other hand, I would feel a bit bad for using up some of the "freebies" that legitimate people might miss out on and have to pay the small fee.

>8^8 should be thought of less as a scientific black box, but as a friend who claims to know someone you'll hit it off with, and wants the two of you to get together. It might be wrong, but it could very well be right.

And if there are always 3 animals (like on mine), then one out of every 35 (= 7 choose 3) bots will get through it anyway. Even if each picture is uniformly and independently an animal or non-animal, one out of every 128 bots will get through. If bots are a problem, maybe use a stronger captcha.
It sounds like a neat idea but it's taking too long to load for me to check it out. I'll try again later.

#7On too many of the questions there were multiple choices which seemed equally true thus my results would be largely arbitrary.
Re: 8^8 – Find another you
#89,945 people have taken the test according to the stats at the bottom, and the site's painfully slow. Definitely needs some performance tweaking.

I had the same feeling. I went through the 8 questions. If someone else answered as I did, I feel like it would be completely random chance. There wasn't anything personally identifying about the questions at all. This reminded me of

If you're vague enough, everyone is self-centred enough to believe that you're talking about them.
I would expect the distribution of the answers to be close to uniform too.

#10Ummm, I like other people precisely because they aren't me. My soulmate is not a duplicate of me. They are a compliment.
At best, 8^8 might expose someone who ends up making a lot of the same decisions as me. Boring!
