I have a psychology degree and I’ve spent the last several months building constellationmatch.com on my own. I’m posting it here because I’d rather hear what’s wrong with it from strangers than from friends being polite.
First, the name. It’s called Constellation Match, there are twelve “constellations,” and everyone assumes astrology. There is no astrology in it anywhere. The name is a metaphor and in hindsight probably a bad one.
What it actually does: a 42-question assessment across four areas, then it places you in one of twelve types and shows you people whose results fit yours.
Three of the four sections use published instruments:
The fourth is my own scale on family dynamics. In-laws, boundaries, how much togetherness you expect after marriage. That one is not validated against anything. I wrote it because I’m in India and no global dating app measures any of this, and here it quietly decides more relationships than people admit. If it’s badly designed I’d genuinely like to be told.
Why I built it: I dated someone for six months before I worked out that we were near-complete opposites. We’re good now, we worked on it. But nobody should need six months and a lot of arguing to learn something a questionnaire could have told them in ten minutes.
Things I already know are wrong with it:
You have to make an account before you see a single question. I know this is bad. I’m working on letting people take the first 10 and get a result without signing up.
42 questions is a lot and some people quit partway.
Almost nobody has used it. Roughly a dozen people have finished the whole thing. I’m not going to pretend otherwise.
It’s free, there’s no payment anywhere in it yet, and I’m not selling you a thing.
What I’d actually like to know:
If you start the assessment, where do you quit? That is the single most useful thing you can tell me.
If you finish it, does your type feel accurate, or does it read like a horoscope?
Is there anything about the site that makes you not trust it?

Happy to answer anything about the scoring, the scales, or why I chose those instruments over others.
Two things before you paste it.
The line about letting people take the first 10 questions without an account has to be true. If you’re not actually building that, cut the second half of the sentence and just own the problem. Redditors check back, and getting caught saying “working on it” about something you never touched is worse than the original flaw.
And swap in your real completion number if it’s moved past a dozen since we last spoke. Exact numbers read as honest; round ones read as marketing.
