Психологическая совместимость по профилю, важно ли это?!

Некоторые отвечают на вопросы теста, не особо задумываясь. Поэтому возможны погрешности в результатах.
-Hi! How are you?
-Hi! I'm fine. Thanks. What about you?
-I'm glad to hear that. I'm fine too. How was your weekend?
-I had a great time in the countryside. What about you?
........
(Вот как-то так!)

Надя, спасибо))).

C ТЕМИ, С КЕМ БЫЛО СОВПАДЕНИЕ ПО ТЕСТУ- БЫЛО ОТЧЕГО -ТО НЕ О ЧЕМ РАЗГОВАРИВАТЬ...

I guess some people put a lot into the psychological "test" but I don't give it much thought. I never even finished mine. There might be some valuable information to be taken from the answers but I view it only as a glimpse of the most basic compatibility level.

To your other question, I can only speak from the point of view from the USA but "How are you?" is just sort of a greeting. When first speaking with a person (friend, family, stranger...anybody) we usually say something like "Hello Mariya, my name is Tim. How are you?" or "Hi mom, how are you and dad?".

Most people just answer with a simple "I'm good, thank you" or "I'm doing fine" and move the conversation forward. It's not usually a literal question; you don't need to answer with a list of everything that is good or bad, though you can.

I hope that kind of makes sense; the phrase can be used multiple ways but if a man writes to you and says "How are you, Mariya?", just think of it as a greeting. Nadia has listed some good responses.

А у меня всё совпадает. Даже если нравится человек, а психолог советует - нет, то так оно потом и получается, верней не получается. Думаю, что всё-таки нужно учитывать, ну, так , хотя бы немножко   Конечно,при условии, что отвечали на вопросы оба осознанно и серьёзно.

Бывает такое, что человек хочет начать общение и не знает как. Поэтому он начинает с этих фраз.

Thank you, Tim!

I read an article that talked about some of the cultural differences between Russia and the USA. They mentioned that Russian people do not ask "how are you?". I thought that was interesting. It's something I never would have thought about.

Is there a common phrase/greeting that Russians use that would be similar?

Тим, у нас тоже говорят - Привет! Как дела?. И очень часто так приветсвуют. Также существуют и другие приветствия - добрый день(утро,вечер), здравствуй, привет.

Ah, perhaps I'm mistaken then.

Tim, if you ask about question that don't need an answer, we sometimes can say after greeting:
-Как твое ничего себе?
This question consists an answer in itself yet. That question means that we are sure that a person has not bad health.

Some of us rarely say:
-Ciao! ( often instead of good bye)
-Salut! (instead of hi!)

The most common greeting in Russia: здравствуйте (zdravstvuite).
Which means: I wish you good health.

Thank you all; I have learned something today!  

Hello and how are you doing!   That was a joke/\ To be honest I generally always read the profile and then make a comment usually the polite one which in my opinion is..."May I write again sometime soon if you see some interest between our two profiles?" For me I find asking to write will usually get a YEs or No answer,and that is all any man can ask. THX

Tim, I didn't finish mine either because I started to see that the questions could be interpreted several ways. I didn't finish it but many months later it was somehow "finished" without my involvement. I don't think Marina was doing this in her spar time, but I don't even look at the psychological profiling. Psychology is not an exacting science.

To all ladies! Tim is from Wyoming! Typical greeting there is, "Howdy there, Cowboy!" ))))))) Tim, did I tell you my son just graduated from Marine training and Military Police Academy? He says the Navy is attached to the Marines. Shall I smack him for you!? ))))))) Hope things are well with you, brother.
