I am going to go out on a limb here and say I think it might not be such a bad idea to ask these questions (but with a few caveats). Think about it this way: these types of questions are going to come up anyway in the course of a relationship and it's your choice whether you want to deal with them now or later. That said, what you do when you get the answers to these questions is the real question. For example, I wonder how one should process the answer to this question " 10) Do we like and respect each other’s friends? ". What if the answer is no? Are you willing to overlook this? If you are, aren't you then putting an unfair burden on the other person to retreat from his/her friends? Is it healthy for the relationship if you end up separating your partner from their friends? I guess the writer assumes the people asking these questions are mature enough to handle differences and devise a way of dealing with them. If they are not, there can be quite a funny side to it. For example what if the answer to some questions is yes and others is no? Do you then assign a weight to each questions and get a weighted average to determine compatibility ...he he he But a nice read regardless.
