The 8 Dimensions of Compatibility
Real compatibility goes beyond hobbies and interests. CHISPA matches you across 8 fundamental dimensions of human experience—from how you process emotions to how you find meaning in life.
Based on dimensional literacy research, these 8 dimensions represent the core aspects of compatibility that create lasting, meaningful relationships. When you align across these dimensions, everything else falls into place.
Physical
How you relate to your body, health, and physical activity. This dimension covers everything from fitness habits to health values to physical affection styles. When partners align physically, they support each other's wellbeing naturally.
Match on things like:
- Exercise and movement preferences (gym, yoga, sports, hiking)
- Health and wellness priorities
- Sleep schedules and habits
- Physical affection and touch language
- Lifestyle habits (diet, alcohol, substances)
- Approach to body and health
Energetic
Your energy levels, social battery, and pace of life. Some people are high-energy extroverts who thrive on constant stimulation. Others need quiet and solitude to recharge. Mismatched energy is exhausting—matched energy feels effortless.
