Abstract
A system for matching users in response to user selections from sets of sensory stimuli. The system provides a first sensory stimulus set to a user including a plurality of stimuli and stores an identifier that identifies the user's response to the stimulus. The system then generates a user data string that includes an identifier for each of the sensory stimuli selected by the user in each of the plurality of sensory stimulus sets and sums the number of sensory stimuli selected by a selected user and another user to provide a match value. The match value is compared to a predetermined threshold value.
