This Visual DNA thing was a little startling. Not by itself, but because of something that happened after I put up my last post.
My best friend (who by the way is someone who has always liked the EXACT same things as me) followed the link, and discovered that he had different answers from mine to almost all the questions. Except the one about what grosses you out most.
I'm not going to go into deep analysis of why this is, and whether this means that our friendship is doomed, but one small thought did strike me -
Hating the same things is probably more important in a relationship than loving the same things - Like a type 1 error versus a type 2 error. What think?

interesting it is indeed :) i tried it myself and got a completely different set of preferences myself! but quite true :)
i dont think it really matters if likes and dislikes are different between two close friends.. bcoz we tend to be quite tolerant abt wht our friends do or like to do :) and not like to do :D
yeah...
im different from you on every count. have put my results on my blog.. with due credit of course! :)
Its interesting...but not to the point of dumping your best friend!!!.. Its Visual and you pick what hits your eyes first.. not sure, if that's the way to do it, without thinking too hard, or spend a couple of mins on the pics, allow your brain to absorb it and decide...
If one had a bad day at work, would the choices be different. May be, may be not...
having said that... its fairly a good indicator of what I'm. Thanks.
Type I or Type II errors. Can you have a decision model that minimises both.... Or do you believe in optimisation approaches....
Interesting justification.
Don't completely agree. with your best friend you might spend a lot of time talking about things you hate and therefore might connect on that note, but unless you spend time doing things that both of you like, you would not be best friends.
Having said that - common tastes on visual DNA may not be the best way of assessing whether you like the same things.
