The James T. Callow Folklore Archive

In order to find out if we were compatible with another
person, usually a boy we liked, we used to do a test.
First you write down the name of the person you like
and your name on paper. Then under both names you draw
a line across. Under the line you write the numbers one
through five. Then under the number one you write the
number of A's in the names, under the number two you
write the number of E's and so on with I, O, and U.
Then you add the numbers and the more times you have
the same numbers next to each other the more compatible
you are.
