Calificación de compatibilidad de personalidad
inspired by the renowned Jung/Myers-Briggs 16 personality types. Developed over a century ago by Swiss psychiatrist Dr. Carl Jung and further refined by Isabel Briggs Myers and Katherine Briggs, this psychometric test has stood the test of time. Recognized as the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator®, it's widely used in organizational psychology.
DNA Romance utilizes this personality compatibility algorithm to predict potential connections between both singles and couples. DNA Romance's algorithms strategically assign higher compatibility scores to similar personality types, and lower scores to those that may conflict.
DNA Romance predicts "Chemistry" using DRom 1.0, an algorithm that analyses Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs) confirmed to influence relationship choice in several independent studies. Here we present just a few of the research papers we evaluated in order to develop DRom 1.0 .

*** This study investigated the influence of the Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC) genes and testosterone levels on female horse mating preferences, finding that mares demonstrated elevated interest towards MHC-dissimilar stallions during their diestrous phase (non-reproductive period), but other non-MHC linked male characteristics, possibly like physical attributes or behavioral cues, could override MHC influences during their estrous (reproductive) phase, with the context and cycle phase being pivotal in mate choice.
Sherlock JM, Sidari MJ, Harris EA, Barlow FK, Zietsch BP (2016) Probando la hipótesis de elección de pareja del orgasmo femenino: desentrañando rasgos y comportamientos. . Socioaffect Neurosci Psychol. 6:31562.
*** El estudio sugiere que las mujeres experimentan frecuencias de orgasmo variables con diferentes parejas, con aquellas que induzcan mayores tasas de orgasmo siendo percibidas como más divertidas, creativas, cálidas, fieles y con mejor olor, y también siendo más atentas a la satisfacción sexual de su pareja, apoyando parcialmente la hipótesis de elección de pareja del orgasmo femenino que lo postula como un mecanismo potencial para seleccionar parejas de alta calidad.
Kromer J, Hummel T, Pietrowski D, Giani AS, Sauter J, Ehninger G, Schmidt AH, Croy I (2016) Influencia del HLA en la pareja humana y la satisfacción sexual. Sci Rep. 6:32550.
*** The study indicates that in humans, HLA (a genetic component of the immune system) dissimilarity can influence mate selection and sexual satisfaction, potentially through the detection of olfactory cues related to genetic compatibility, similarly to mechanisms observed in other animals, promoting genetic diversity and resilience in offspring.
Wlodarski R. and Dunbar RIM. (2015) What’s in a Kiss? The Effect of Romantic Kissing on Mate Desirability . Evol Psychol. ; 12(1): 178–199.
*** This study found that perceived romantic kissing ability affects evaluations of potential mates, increasing desirability particularly for women in casual sex contexts, and while visual cues can override the impact of kissing-related information in certain mating scenarios, the influence of attractive visual information appears more potent for men than for women, alluding to the multifaceted role of kissing in human mate selection.

*** This study examines how the Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC) influences male reproductive strategies in horses. The research revealed that when stallions were exposed to females with dissimilar MHC types, they exhibited higher testosterone levels and produced a larger number of sperm per ejaculate compared to when they were exposed to MHC-similar mares, highlighting that MHC-linked signals can indeed impact male reproductive physiology.
Christakis NA and Fowler JH (2014) Amistad y selección natural. PNAS 111: 10796–10801.
*** The study demonstrates that humans tend to form friendships with individuals who have similar genotypes—akin to the level of fourth cousins—across the entire genome, and while certain genotypes are positively correlated (homophilic), others are negatively correlated (heterophilic) among friends, with particular gene sets related to olfactory and immune system playing a role in friendship formation, proposing that friends might act as "functional kin" in humans.
Laurent R and Chaix R (2012) MHC-dependent mate choice in humans: Why genomic patterns from the HapMap European American dataset support the hypothesis BioEssays. 34(4):267-276

Lie HC, Simmons LH and Rhodes G (2010) Genetic dissimilarity, genetic diversity, and mate preferences in humans. Evolution and Human Behavior 31: 8–58.
*** This study explores the influence of genetic factors, particularly the major histocompatibility complex (MHC), on mate preferences in humans, discovering that males tend to prefer MHC-dissimilar females in both short-term and long-term mating contexts, while genetic diversity impacts both male and female partner preferences to enhance genetic diversity in offspring.
Lie HC, Rhodes G and Simmons LH (2010) Is genetic diversity associated with mating success in humans? Animal Behaviour 79(4):903-909.
*** This study indicates that in humans, particularly females, genetic diversity, especially within the major histocompatibility complex (MHC), is associated with greater human mating success, while no significant association was found in males.
Chaix R, Cao C, and Donnelly P (2008) Is Mate Choice in Humans MHC-Dependent? PLOS Genetics 4(9).
*** The study indicates that while European Americans show evidence of MHC-disassortative mating patterns, this pattern varies across populations, suggesting MHC's influence on mate choice can be context-dependent and potentially shaped by various factors.
Schwensow N, Fietz J, Dausmann K, Sommer S (2008) MHC-associated mating strategies and the importance of overall genetic diversity in an obligate pair-living primate . Evol Ecol. (22) 617-636
*** The study explores mate choice in the fat-tailed dwarf lemur, finding females prefer males with greater MHC-genetic diversity and lower MHC overlap as both social partners and genetic fathers, supporting genetic incompatibility, highlighting a complex interplay of "good-genes-as-heterozygosity" and "disassortative mating" hypotheses in primate mating strategies.
Wedekind C (2007) The Major Histocompatibility Complex and Perfumers’ Descriptions of Human Body Odors Evolutionary Psychology.5(2): 330-343
*** This experiment reveals a connection between the Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC) and the verbal descriptions of human body odors by professional perfumers, suggesting MHC influence on human olfactory perception and possibly, mate selection, given the MHC's critical role in immune system functioning and previously noted impact on body odor and mate choice.

*** In the context of romantic couples, the study finds that as the proportion of shared Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC) alleles increases, women’s sexual responsivity to their partners decreases and they report more extra-pair sexual partners, suggesting that MHC-dissimilarity might play a role in sexual attraction and partner selection, potentially driven by underlying genetic and reproductive strategies to enhance offspring immunocompetence by maintaining genetic diversity.
Roberts CE, Gosling LM, Carter V and Petrie M (2006) MHC-correlated odour preferences in humans and the use of oral contraceptives Proc. R. Soc. B 275, 2715–2722
*** This study investigates how oral contraceptives influence women's preferences for certain male odours, which are known to be influenced by genes in the Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC). Previous research has indicated that female preference for MHC-dissimilar male odour may function to increase offspring heterozygosity or minimize inbreeding. Interestingly, it has also been suggested that women using oral contraceptives tend to prefer the scent of MHC-similar males, which runs contrary to this logic. The study utilized a longitudinal design to test women before and after initiating contraceptive pill use. While there were no significant changes in preferences between MHC-similar and MHC-similar men during the follicular cycle phase in general, it did unearth that single women tended to prefer the odour of MHC-similar men, whereas women in relationships leaned towards the odour of MHC-dissimilar men. This latter finding aligns with established preferences in romantic contexts.

*** This paper provides a comprehensive gene map of the human MHC, a pivotal region in the vertebrate genome for infection and autoimmunity due to its essential role in both adaptive and innate immunity, highlighting its significant content related to paralogy, polymorphism, immune functionality, and its association with various diseases, providing a comprehensive view stemming from the assimilation of data from several large-scale studies.
Jacob S, McClitock MK, Zelano B and Ober C (2002) Paternally inherited HLA alleles are associated with woman’s choice of male odour . Nature Genetics, 30:175-179
*** The study found that women prefer the body odor influenced by a single variance in HLA (human MHC) allele, with a woman's capacity to distinguish and prefer certain odors notably being based on HLA alleles inherited from her father and not her mother; this suggests that paternally inherited HLA-associated odors influence odor preference and might function as social cues, even despite a milieu of potential odors derived from a variety of genetic and cultural factors.
Milinski M and Wedekind C (2001) Evidence for MHC-correlated perfume preference in humans . Behavioural Ecology 12(2):140-149
*** The study explores the relationship between HLA types (specifically HLA-A, -B, -DR) and their ratings of various scents for personal use, with certain HLA types (e.g., HLA-A2) showing consistent scent preferences. However, when it came to preferences for a partner's scent, the correlation was largely insignificant, aligning with the hypothesis that individuals select perfumes for personal use to possibly enhance or amplify their own immunogenetic revealing body odors, rather than to alter the perceived scents of their partners.
