Why are dimensions of compatibility important?
The dimensions of compatibility are key personality characteristics that can be used to predict compatibility and potential for long-term relationship success. These dimensions were identified through observing married couples and determining which characteristics between spouses were consistently associated with the most successful relationships. The dimensions of compatibility are grouped into Core Traits and Vital Attributes. Core Traits are defining aspects of who you are that remain largely unchanged throughout your adult life. Vital Attributes are based on learning and experience and are more likely to change based on life events and decisions you make as an adult.
