Frequently asked questions
How is the compatibility percentage calculated?+
We count matching answers across all eight questions, with schedule and training style weighted 2x because mismatched timing or style is a dealbreaker. Maximum weight is 10, so a perfect match is 10/10 = 100 percent.
What does the 8-character code actually encode?+
Each character is the index (0-3) of your answer to one question, in order. So 12031203 means you picked option 1 for question 1, option 2 for question 2, and so on. The code is lossless. Two people with the same code answered every question identically.
Can I share my code on social?+
Yes. Hit the download button after completing the quiz. You get a 1080x1350 card sized for Instagram and Twitter, with your code, your match score if you compared, and a Zealova watermark.
What does a low score actually mean?+
It means you train differently. That is not bad, but it does mean you will struggle to share sessions productively. A powerlifter and a CrossFitter can both be excellent training partners, just not for each other. Find someone whose plan looks like yours.
