How Minduo works

Four steps that replace surface-level swiping with real psychological compatibility — grounded in 10 validated clinical domains.

The process

Four steps. One honest picture.

Each step is designed to surface what actually predicts long-term compatibility — not what looks good on a profile.

01
🧠 Take the assessment
80 carefully sequenced questions across 10 clinical domains. Takes 15–20 minutes. You can pause and resume anytime. Each question is drawn from validated psychological instruments — not quizzes designed to feel good.

The research behind it

Built on decades of science

Minduo's framework draws from three major research traditions.

📎
Attachment Theory
Bowlby and Ainsworth's foundational work on how early bonding shapes adult relationship patterns — now one of the most replicated frameworks in developmental psychology.
🏛️
Gottman Research
Four decades of couples research identifying the predictors of relationship success and failure — including the Four Horsemen, emotional bids, and the role of friendship in long-term partnerships.
🧬
Emotion Regulation Science
Research into how people process, manage, and co-regulate emotions — and how dysregulation patterns create recurring conflict cycles across relationships.
