The intuitionistic fuzzy set (IFS), as a generation of Zadeh's fuzzy set, can express and process uncertainty much better. Similarity measures between IFSs are used to indicate the similarity degree between the information carried by IFSs. Although several similarity measures for IFSs have been proposed in previous studies, some of them cannot satisfy the axioms of similarity, or provide counterintuitive cases. In this paper, we first review several widely used similarity measures and then propose a new similarity measures. As the consistency of two IFSs, the proposed similarity measure is defined based on the direct operation on the membership function, non-membership function, hesitation function and the upper bound of membership function of two IFS, rather than based on the distance measure or the relationship of membership and non-membership functions. It proves that the proposed similarity measure satisfies the properties of the axiomatic definition for similarity measures. Comparison between the previous similarity measures and the proposed similarity measure indicates that the proposed similarity measure does not provide any counterintuitive cases. Moreover, it is demonstrated that the proposed similarity measure is capable of discriminating difference between patterns. Experiments on medical diagnosis and cluster analysis are carried out to illustrate the applicability of the proposed similarity measure in practice.
