Online ‘twin’ helps with life choices

TellMeTwinA new website which enables users to find people who think like them and use their profile to help make daily decisions is soon to be unveiled.

TellMeTwin.com allows users to analyse and record their personality through personality tests and by rating various likes, dislikes, interests and experiences. The data is then mathematically matched with ‘twins’ who share similar interests.

By matching personalities, twins can be used to recommend things that users will probably like or dislike, such as what movie to see or what music to buy, or even to discuss medical treatments for shared illnesses. The TellMeTwin algorithms can also figure out best romantic matches.

TellMeTwin is scheduled for global launch this summer but is currently offering users a chance to take part in its Beta testing phase.

The website is the dreamchild of Icelandic entrepreneur, Einar Sigvaldason, who thought up the concept whilst getting his MBA at Berkeley in 2001.

“I founded TellMeTwin because I wanted movie and song recommendations from someone who I can trust to think like me”, said Sigvaldason. “I’ve also always loved self-psychoanalysis. I felt there was a need for an online application; not just personality tests but also a way to rate my likes, dislikes and life experience in order to map myself more deeply than before.”

Sigvaldason said the site’s catchphrase “Digging deeper” is derived from the site´s capability of finding users’ exact twins out of a pool of millions through intelligent character mapping and mathematical calculations, with previously unknown depth.

Sigvaldason also emphasised the site´s respect for personal details and its promise not to reveal subscriber’s personal information unless he or she expressly wishes it.

“On TellMeTwin there is actually a delete button, unlike many other sites who own your data. Your data is and always will be your asset“, he explained.
