One of the most popular relationship trends on TikTok involves users participating in a ‘dating standards test’ to assess how many eligible matches are suitable for them.
TikTok consistently introduces new trends, including engaging quizzes and tests that attract numerous users eager to share their findings with their followers.
A particularly popular trend currently is the ‘standards test,’ a dating calculator that reveals “what percent of men/women in the United States meet your standards.” This interactive tool allows participants to choose 14 desired traits in a partner, including gender, age, height, salary, and more.
Many users have discovered their chances of meeting their ideal partner are quite limited due to having overly specific preferences, leading them to label the matchmaking service as the ‘delusion calculator.’

How to take the ‘standards test’ on TikTok
To take the standards test, simply follow these steps:
- Visit the Male/Female Standards Calculator.
- Select 14 traits you desire in a partner, such as gender, age, height, minimum income, ethnicity, religion, hair color, and more.
- After choosing your preferences, click ‘Let’s Find Out.’
- The calculator will display the percentage of partners in the US who align with your standards.
- To share your results on TikTok, take a screenshot of the page and upload the image into a new video on the app.
Keep in mind that the more selective you are with your requirements, the fewer eligible matches you will discover that meet your criteria.
Additionally, it’s important to understand that the calculator may not be entirely accurate. The website mentions: “While the Standards Calculator provides a percentage reasonably close to reality, it may not be 100% accurate. The tool is applicable only to the US population.”
This trend follows other viral relationship tests on TikTok, such as the ‘I trust my wife’ challenge, which piqued users’ curiosity about their likability.
