This paper analyzes the counterintuitive behaviors of adopted twelve distance-based similarity measures between intuitionistic fuzzy sets. Among these distance-based similarity measures, the largest number of components of the distance in the similarity measure is four. We propose six general counterintuitive test problems to analyze their counterintuitive behaviors. The results indicate that all the distance-based similarity measures have some counterintuitive test problems. Furthermore, for the largest number of components of the distance-based similarity measure, four types of counterintuitive examples exist. Therefore, the counterintuitive behaviors are inevitable for the distance-based similarity measures between intuitionistic fuzzy sets.
