You are ready to select your mate for life and have determined that physical attractiveness, intelligence, and personality are key factors in selecting a satisfactory mate. Your pairwise comparison matrix for these objectives is shown in the file P16_27.xlsx. Three people (Chris, Jamie, and Pat) are begging to be your mate. (This problem attempts to be gender-neutral.)

Your view of these people’s attractiveness, intelligence, and personality is given in the pairwise comparison matrices also shown in this file.

a. Who should you choose as your lifetime mate?

b. Evaluate all pairwise comparison matrices for consistency.
