NAME

Acme::Affinity - Compute the affinity between two people

VERSION

version 0.0114

SYNOPSIS

use Acme::Affinity;

# Please see the documentation for the contents of these values
my %arguments = (questions => [], importance => {}, me => [], you => []);

my $affinity = Acme::Affinity->new(%arguments);

my $score = $affinity->score;

DESCRIPTION

An Acme::Affinity object computes the relationship affinity between two people based on a common list of questions, answers and their weighted importance.

ATTRIBUTES

questions

This is a list of hash references with question keys and answer array references.

Example:

[
  { 'how messy are you' => [ 'very messy', 'average', 'very organized' ] },
  { 'do you like to be the center of attention' => [ 'yes', 'no' ] },
]

importance

This is a hash reference with importance level keys and weight values.

Default:

{
  'irrelevant'         => 0,
  'a little important' => 1,
  'somewhat important' => 10,
  'very important'     => 50,
  'mandatory'          => 250,
}

me

This is an array reference triple of question responses, desired responses and importance levels of person A for each of the given questions.

Example:

#   Person A           Person B           Importance
[ [ 'very organized',  'very organized',  'very important' ],
  [ 'no',              'no',              'a little important' ], ]

So person A ("me") considers him or herself to be "very organized", desires a "very organized" person, and this is "very important" to them.

Person A also does not need to be the "center of attention", desires the same type of person, but this is only "a little important."

you

This is an array reference triple of question responses, desired responses and importance levels of person B for each of the given questions.

Example:

#   Person B           Person A    Importance
[ [ 'very organized',  'average',  'a little important' ],
  [ 'yes',             'no',       'somewhat important' ], ]

Person B considers him or herself to be "very organized", but only desires someone who is "average", and this is only "a little important" to them.

Person B likes to be the "center of attention", desires someone who does not, and this is "somewhat important."

METHODS

new

my $affinity = Acme::Affinity->new(
  questions  => \@questions,
