Privacy first. Mathematical calculation on biological cycles of 23, 28 and 33 days.

How the compatibility test works

The test calculates permanent compatibility between two people starting from the difference between their birth dates, across three biorhythms: physical, emotional and intellectual. The calculation returns three percentages from 0 to 100, one for each biorhythm, and an overall result obtained as their simple arithmetic mean. These values remain constant over time. The relationship type selected personalises the interpretation of the results without changing the calculation or the percentages. The test is instant and needs no registration: two birth dates and the type of relationship are enough.

With Premium you can go deeper through the “Biorhythm Comparison” feature, which lets you observe how each person’s three biorhythms move on a specific date or over a period. The six cycles change position over time, while permanent compatibility stays the same.

The three biorhythms of permanent compatibility

23 days

Physical

Physical energy, vitality, strength, endurance, initiative and rhythm in shared activities.

28 days

Emotional

Sensitivity, affection, empathy, emotional reactions, mutual understanding and harmony in feelings.

33 days

Intellectual

Thought, reasoning, ideas, communication, mental rapport and the ability to make shared decisions.

How to read the result

The profile matters more than the average

The overall percentage gives a summary of permanent compatibility, but it does not tell the whole story. Two couples can get the same average and show very different combinations across the three biorhythms: physical, emotional and intellectual. It is reading the individual values that helps you understand how the result is made up.

A high score

Indicates a greater degree of correspondence between the two people’s cycles, according to the biorhythm model. A high value in one of the three biorhythms means greater compatibility in that specific dimension, without necessarily guaranteeing a good understanding in the relationship.

A low score

Indicates a lower degree of correspondence between the two people’s cycles in the dimension considered. It is not a negative judgement and does not determine incompatibility in real life, but it highlights a difference within the calculation model.

The calculation and its interpretation

Not all couple compatibility tests use the same method. To grasp what they mean, it is important to tell the different approaches apart, understand how the results are produced and what interpretation can be given to the values obtained.

What we do here

Compatibility is calculated

At byourit, the compatibility calculation starts from the difference between two people’s birth dates and the three biorhythmic cycles of 23, 28 and 33 days. The result includes three permanent compatibility percentages (physical, emotional and intellectual) and an overall percentage obtained as their simple arithmetic mean. These values remain constant over time. The Biorhythm Comparison feature, instead, lets you observe how the positions of the two people’s six cycles change day after day, without altering their permanent compatibility. The percentages express the values predicted by the biorhythm model, not direct measurements of people’s physical, emotional or intellectual condition or of the quality of their relationship.

A different premise

Starts from the position of the planets at birth. It needs the exact hour, it shifts with the tradition you follow, and it works if you believe in it. A legitimate choice, but a different one. The full comparison.

What changes and what stays constant

Compatibility between two people is permanent. The three percentages (physical, emotional and intellectual) derive from the difference between their birth dates and stay constant over time, as does their overall average. Age, stress, habits and personal circumstances can affect daily life and the relationship, but they do not change the compatibility values predicted by the biorhythm model. The Premium Biorhythm Comparison feature instead lets you observe, on a specific date or over a given period, how each person’s three biorhythms move: six cycles in all. Their positions change as the days go by, while the permanent compatibility percentages stay unchanged. Repeating the permanent compatibility test between the same two people therefore returns the same values. To see how their biorhythms look at different moments, you can use Biorhythm Comparison, without confusing this time-based analysis with the permanent compatibility result.

Frequently asked questions

Do we need the time of birth?
No. To calculate permanent compatibility with byourit, the birth dates of the two people are enough. The time and place of birth are not needed.
What is the permanent compatibility calculation based on?
The calculation starts from the difference in days between the two birth dates and relates it to the three biorhythmic cycles of 23, 28 and 33 days. The result includes three permanent compatibility percentages (physical, emotional and intellectual) and an overall percentage obtained as their simple arithmetic mean. The percentages stay constant over time and do not change with the relationship type selected.
What counts as a good score?
In the biorhythm model, a higher percentage indicates greater correspondence between the cycles considered, while a lower percentage indicates less. There is, however, no threshold that tells you whether a relationship is good or bad. To understand the result it also helps to look at the three percentages separately: two couples can have the same overall average but very different physical, emotional and intellectual combinations.
Is the test free? Do I need to sign up?
Yes. With byourit you can see the overall permanent compatibility percentage for free and receive a first interpretation adapted to the type of relationship. No registration, account or email address is needed. Premium features let you go deeper into the results and access additional analyses.
Is the test only for romantic couples?
No. You can calculate permanent compatibility between friends, family members, colleagues and acquaintances too. Choosing the relationship type personalises the interpretation of the results, without changing the three percentages or their overall average.
Does permanent compatibility change over time?
No. Permanent compatibility is calculated from the difference between the birth dates and stays unchanged over time. The Premium Biorhythm Comparison feature instead lets you observe each person’s three biorhythms, so six cycles in all, on a specific date or over a period. The positions of the cycles change as the days go by, but they do not change the permanent compatibility percentages.
Does a low score mean we should break up?
No. A low percentage indicates less correspondence between the cycles according to the biorhythm model, not an incompatibility proven in real life. The quality of a relationship depends on many factors, including communication, respect, trust, shared values and personal experiences. The result can offer food for thought, but it does not determine the value of a relationship or the decisions of the people involved.

What to expect from the result

byourit calculates permanent compatibility between two people through three biorhythms: physical, emotional and intellectual. The overall result is the simple arithmetic mean of the three percentages and stays constant over time. The free version lets you see the overall compatibility and receive a first interpretation adapted to the selected type of relationship. With Premium you can explore the three dimensions of permanent compatibility in depth and use the Biorhythm Comparison feature, which lets you observe how the six cycles of the two people move on a specific date or over a period. The interpretations offer food for reflection; they do not directly measure relationship quality or predict its outcome. Some Premium content may be produced with the support of artificial intelligence, as described in the privacy policy.
