Abstract: We show some similarities/parallels between mass assignment theory and intuitionistic fuzzy set theory. Mass assignment theory is well known tool for dealing with both probabilistic and fuzzy uncertainties. On the other hand intuitionistic fuzzy set theory is an extension of fuzzy set theory which makes it possible to describe imprecise information. Next, we propose a new measure of similarity for both theories. The proposed measure takes into account not only a pure distance between elements but answers the questions if the considered elements/objects are more similar or more dissimilar. It is shown that even if a distance between objects is small, it can happen that the objects are completely dissimilar.
Keywords: Fuzzy sets, Intuitionistic fuzzy sets, Mass assignment theory, Similarity measures.
