If you're talking about playing games, then I agree. But I do think there are ways to tell.

I had no idea what I wanted in a partner until I met beest. I never tested him. 22 years together.

I don't think we know what we really want. I didn't until J came and made me feel good in a certain way. No not that way. Although she does.

Not everything can be quantified and qualified. I think it is a symptom of our society and culture today, everything can be quantified, reduced, decide upon and controlled. I agree with the others here that this testing for a relationship is not my style. Been married to Mrs. Joe for 18+ years now. Would not have missed it for the world. I wold say that the test is ongoing. Heck it's not even a test, it's more like a course. Yea, the course is still in session.

Anyone mentioned that what you want or believe is important at this particular moment in your life may/may not be relevant in 10, 20, 30 years? As you age your perspective, wants, needs... all change as do theirs. For example. the physical characteristics which may be important when 20-ish will be FAR LESS of a factor as one ages. Whereas the emotional, spiritual and ethical traits will be far more important.

So, you're not hung up on appearance as long as they have the kind of legs you like.

I've found some success with the Political Compass, but I recognize it's not for everyone.
