2. I added the YouJustGetMe application to my Facebook account. How do I log in here?
   
   You don't need to join YouJustGetMe.com when you add YouJustGetMe to your Facebook. But you do if you want the advanced features found only on our website. You will need to supply an email and password when you join YouJustGetMe.com, which may be the same as your Facebook or different. If you forget your YouJustGetMe.com password, you can have it reset and sent to you from YouJustGetMe.com without affecting your Facebook account.
3. I joined the site before I rated my own personality. How do I do that now that I'm a member?
   
   Log in and go to the Home page. Click the red "Rate yourself" link at the top. If you don't see "Rate Yourself" then you have already rated your own personality.
4. Can I rate my own personality before I join?
   Yes. You can get a free Big-Five personality analysis written by Ph.D. psychologists without even giving us your email address. Go to the "Get Started" page and click "Open+" on the Clipboard. The Clipboard is the brown bar at the top labeled "Guess myself now!" The first time you use the Clipboard, rate your own personality. After that, you'll use it to guess how others see themselves.

5. Can I rate my personality again after I save the answers?
   
   Not yet. Later we may offer to let users re-rate their personality every 6-12 months. But in theory, personalities do not change as quickly as moods or emotions. We have found that people who re-rate themselves just make themselves look good - and then everyone looks the same! Nonetheless, people do change, and if you stick with the site long enough you'll have a chance to assess yourself again.
6. Why can't I see certain people's profiles?
   
   Some people have elected to have their profiles seen only by registered YouJustGetMe members, or by friends who know their real names.
7. How can I control who can see my profile?
   
   Go to "My Account" and next to the prompt "Who can see my profile" set it to either everyone on the web, only registered YJGM members, or only those who know your real name. We invite you to choose any setting that makes you most comfortable.
8. Why can't I send a message to certain people?
   
   Our site does not allow people 18 and older to send messages to people ages 14 to 17, or vice versa. Although we welcome adult-to-adult contact and minor-to-minor contact via our site, good judgment and the Terms of Use prohibit adult-to-minor or minor-to-adult contact.
9. How do people get on the Top Scores?
   
   To become a best guesser on the "Science" page, you have to guess Random people. Random people are shown in an orange box on the "Home" page. Mostly they are chosen randomly, but sometimes they are a celebrity. The guesses you make of people that you invite to the site or select while browsing don't count toward the top scores. Then you have to get the highest summed accuracy score for the month. So guessing a lot of Featured people and guessing carefully both help you become a best guesser.
   
   Easiest to Guess people (a.k.a. "Best Clues on a Profile") were all guessed as a Random person. This way, it was unlikely the guesser knew the mystery already. Easiest to Guess people had highest average transparency score for the month. Hardest to Guess people (a.k.a. "Murkiest Clues on a Profile") had the lowest average transparency score for the month, once again, when guessed by people who found them in the Featured Person box.
10. How do you calculate personality scores and accuracy scores?
    
    Please see the Science page.
11. Who built this site?
    
    Please see the About Us page.
12. How do I change my personal information?
    
    Go to "My Account" where you can change your name, postal code, password, or newsletter delivery setting. If you want to change your email address, write to memberships@youjustgetme.com from the email account that you registered with. Write "update email to [insert new email address]" in the Subject line.
13. How do I get removed from the site?
    
    If you are a registered member, send an email from the address you registered with to memberships@youjustgetme.com with the word "terminate" in the Subject line.

    If you are not registered but wish to block invitations to join the site from members, send an email from the address you registered with to memberships@youjustgetme.com with the "block invitations" in the Subject line.
