I think you are making assumptions that might be hard justify:
-people have the self-knowledge to answer this question effectively
-people are not gaming the answer to seem appealing
-people can accurately identify their preferences about what type of communication style works for them
Don’t mean to sound like a downer—I’m glad some people take this seriously. I think trying to produce questions like these is a good idea, I’m trying to point out some potential flaws to help.
I appreciate the help. These assumptions can be problematic, but they are problems for all online dating, not my specific question. In my experience, OkCupid question responses are not always accurate, but they are more than accurate enough to be useful.
