The www.parship.ie site uses a 83-step questionnaire created by a team of scientists which studies the attitudes and lifestyle habits of online members.
The service is already helping 2.4 million male and female subscribers aged 28-55 years old in Britain, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Netherlands, Belgium, Italy, Spain, France, Sweden and Denmark.
The patented psychometric compatibility test for matching couples was created by German psychologist Prof Hugo Schmale and a team of scientists and psychologists from Hamburg University.
It is believed there are up to 755,000 Irish singles seeking long-term relationships.
Parship director Tony Blin-Stoyle said: "On most dating sites, people use a six-year-old photo and a glib description of being fun and attractive. This provides little or no insight as to what the real person is like.Parship.ie takes the pot luck out of looking for love online and ensures that its members are only matched with people who are genuinely right for them."
The psychometric test developed by Parship is similar to the personality profiles that many large companies now use to screen potential employees.
Parship's dating and relationship expert, Dr Victoria Lukats added:
"The test evaluates the characteristics, values and interests which determine the dynamics of a relationship.
"When an individual is matched with someone who has the right balance of similar and complementary characteristics, the outcome is more likely to lead to a lasting relationship."
