7even MVP

7even is a mobile-first weekly matching app for Chicago students, where users sign up and complete questions from the Big 5 Personality Traits as well as the Moral Foundations Test and a Values Sorting activity. Matches are given once a week on Sunday at 7pm based on the similarities of your scores for each trait in each psychology backed test.
