Can not understand how eDarling Turkish version is popular in Spain!



What is really happening?
Or is Alexa wrong?

Please also remember:
Normative tests can not simply be translated, because they need the norm for that test, and that norm is actualized each and every time Census Figures are released and the cost of constructing the right norm is in the range of USD100,000 per language and norm.

All normative tests like Big Five, HEXACO, 16PF5 or similar like 15FQ+ to assess/measure personality should be used with the correct norm.
e.g:
* English for the United Kingdom and the Norm for the United Kingdom (sample of individuals with the same demographic characteristics of the United Kingdom).
* English for Ireland and the Norm for Ireland (sample of individuals with the same demographic characteristics of Ireland).
* English for Australia and the Norm for Australia (sample of individuals with the same demographic characteristics of Australia).
* English for New Zealand and the Norm for New Zealand (sample of individuals with the same demographic characteristics of New Zealand)
* English for Canada and the Norm for Canada (sample of individuals with the same demographic characteristics of Canada).
* English for South Africa and the Norm for South Africa (sample of individuals with the same demographic characteristics of South Africa).
* English for United States and the Norm for United States (sample of individuals with the same demographic characteristics of United States)

To clarify better that situation (a comparison with drivers):
Suppose you are citizen of country "A" where speed limit is 70 mph and the population drives at 65 mph average with 2 mph standard deviation (some persons always surpass the speed limit) in a normal distribution,
and you are tested driving at 67 mph so you are OVER the average in 1 standard deviation, you are at 84.1344% over the whole population.
You will score 8 or 9 in a sten scale depending on how it was constructed.
You will be seen as VERY HIGH in that scale.

If you drive in country "B" where speed limit is 75 mph and the population drives at
71 mph average with 2 mph standard deviation (some persons always surpass the speed limit) in a normal distribution,
and you are tested  again driving at 67 mph,  you are UNDER the average in 2 standard deviation, you are at 02.2751% under the whole population.
You will score 1 in a sten scale.
You will be seen as VERY LOW in that scale.

Also the Big Five normative test that had been proven/revealed as an incomplete and incorrect model to assess/measure personality of persons.
The Big Five normative test had been replaced by HEXACO or Big Six test.
