At Institut Marquès, we carry out a meticulous and entirely personalised matching between patients and donors, with a doctor making the selection based on the physical and psychological traits of both parties.
One of the main concerns of those people who, in order to have a baby, need to resort to treatment with egg or sperm donation is to achieve the highest degree of resemblance and affinity with the donor.
In Spain, donation is an altruistic and anonymous act; only the doctor who selects the donor knows his or her identity. Institut Marquès has its own egg and sperm bank, so we know our donors personally.
Because the allocation of donors is very important for future parents, at Institut Marquès It is the doctor himself who selects the most appropriate one for his patients. Only he can make the best decision, based on the physical characteristics of both and, from now on, also taking into account hereditary personality traits.
Thanks to a psychological test that is carried out on both patients and donors, at Institut Marquès we can perform a personality matching based on those hereditary characteristics that, in the clinical field, are known as “temperament”.
Temperament is inherited and character is modulated according to the environment and education the child receives. Together, temperament and character will build what we call personality.
At Institut Marquès, all sperm donors and egg donors respond to this psychological test. The results will be compared with those of the future mother in the case of In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) treatments with egg donation or with those of the future father in the case of Artificial Insemination or IVF treatments with sperm donation.
Donors pass several medical and psychological tests to confirm that their donation is a completely voluntary and conscious act and to rule out possible psychological pathologies. Now, for the first time, Institut Marqués has incorporated its personality test that makes it possible to know them better and also take into account their dominant temperament.
This questionnaire, developed by Institut Marquès, is based on the studies of Buss and Plomin and the Myers-Briggs test (MBTI). The results define the attitude (introversion or extroversion), the way of analyzing or perceiving the information of each one (sensory or intuitive), the way of making decisions (logical or emotional) and how one interacts with the outside world (perception or judgment).
The conclusions are obtained through 20 questions to define the strengths and 20 to define the weaknesses. In this way, each individual is classified into one of four large temperament groups: sensitive-creative, calm-practical, energetic-impatient and proactive-impulsive.
