TellMeTwin is celebrating its launch today. The innovative new website uses self psychoanalysis and personality tests to connect users to ‘personality twins’.

From today, it is now possible to register for TellMeTwin, the website aiming to identify and connect users with their ‘twins’. Twins are people with similar interests and personality types who can be relied upon to give advice and recommendations that are actually useful.

TellMeTwin takes the results from its unique selection of personality tests, self psychoanalysis and other user-generated material, and then applies its sophisticated mathematic systems to match users with unprecedented accuracy.

From useful recommendations on food, movies and collectibles and help with major life decisions and even mundane day-to-day ones – it is hoped TellMeTwin users will make real lifelong friends.

The website also offers users the opportunity to identify and interact with their best romantic matches and their ‘evil twins’. Evil twins are in no way bad people, but rather a user’s least similar matches – polar opposite tastes, beliefs and opinions. It could provide the perfect opportunity to find out if opposites really do attract.

Icelandic entrepreneur, Einar Sigvaldason came up with the TellMeTwin idea in 2001 while studying at Berkeley University. “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.

The TellMeTwin tagline, “digging deeper” is a reference to users’ ability to find out more about themselves and others – and then actually use the information for something.

It is now possible to sign up for the website quickly and easily at www.TellMeTwin.com

A landmark new website combining psychoanalysis and personalised data filtering is to launch in the summer.

TellMeTwin is a new website made for revealing helpful and personalised information out of vast, disparate pools of Internet data.

Built on user-generated content (much like Wikipedia), TellMeTwin systematically pairs users to ‘twins’ who have similar interests.

‘Twins’ can offer interesting recommendations on everything from entertainment options – movies, music, vacation destinations – to product, health and lifestyle suggestions. ‘Twins’ can connect, for friendship or more, two people with mutual interests. On the other end of the spectrum, people can find their ‘evil twins’ – people with polar opposite characteristics and preferences.

The website is the darling of Icelandic entrepreneur, Einar Sigvaldason, who dreamt 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 describes how the website’s catchphrase “Digging deeper” is sourced from the site’s capability to find users’ exact twins out of a pool of millions through intelligent character mapping and mathematical calculations, with previously unknown depth.

Compatibility matching is attained by means of personality testing and by ranking various likes, dislikes, interests and experiences. Most rating and recommendation sites focus on one or a few categories (such as music or movies). TellMeTwin however offers users to rate and get recommendation on items from an infinite number of different domains, with the additional option to add items to the site’s database.

Sigvaldason is rightly enthusiastic to point out the site’s dedication to privacy and its promise not to reveal subscriber’s personal information unless he or she wishes it. “On TellMeTwin there is actually a delete button, unlike many other sites who own your data. Your data on TellMeTwin is and always will be your asset“, he explains.

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