54 � 77 = Low attraction, probably won�t last.
78 � 101 = Average level of attraction, will need considerable tolerance and work!
102 � 125 = Healthy level of attraction, will need some nurturing.
126 � 150 = Very high attraction, good selection and a real keeper!

Note on comparing degree of mutual attraction: A difference of more than 25 points in total scores between you and your partner could signal serious lack of mutual attraction.
