EHarmony.com will then create a detailed personality profile based on all information you have entered which will be made available to any members who you are potentially matched with. You will be required to submit scores from 1-7 based on your agreement with statements and questions, such as whether you stand up for yourself, if you love to help others, and whether you get angry easily, to name but a small few of the huge number you will be required to score.
