LJ Match

I had assumed that this LJ Match thing that was spreading like wildfire was a program that filtered through all the interest lists of LJ users to give you links to the people who score the most interest matches with you.
I was terribly disappointed to see the questionnaire...one of my pet peeves is this a or b, true/false crap that seems untrue and vague and useless whichever way you answer. Ergh. I started it out of curiousity and then gave up in disgust. Does anyone know if what I mentioned in the first sentence exists? THAT seems quite simple and logical.

hehe. I have no problem with the general idea of "our statistical data matches congruously. we should court and possibly copulate." It's amusing, harmless and far better than "you and I are the last people in the bar, this could work".
;) BUT what I have a big problem is with HOW this 'statistical data' is compiled. If it's a questionnaire like that one, I'd be better off throwing a sock to see if I hit someone. The questions don't Mean anything to me and I could answer many ways on each. I'm already in a wonderful relationship. I'm just always open to finding kindred spirits and LJ is a great forum for that.
THIS simple tool I find much more interesting: http://www.livejournal.com/interests.bml?mode=findsim Just for curiousity's sake (don't remind me about the cat) courtesy of [livejournal.com profile] darius check it!
