Has anybody attempted to type a Facebook profile according to the kind of shit the user posts?

These posts can include anything from memes to rumors to politics to selfies to personal updates. I'm not talking about typing via the selfies themselves, just the people who constantly post selfies, e.g., James Franco.

Here are various examples from my FB wall this morning.

[MENTION=13589]Mal12345[/MENTION] I think the things people post can give some insight to their types, some more than others. Based on your examples, I would have guessed either INFP or INTP.

I tried that thing and it actually turned out to be pretty accurate. I was surprised.

I only post on facebook when I'm extremely political and angry, so my 'friends' tend to get the wrong impression :blush:

Tried it. Not as accurate for me. :thinking:

ASSERTIVE • RESTLESS • ANALYTICAL • EFFICIENT • CONSISTENT

I guess all of them but efficient are true...but they're not the first qualities I would say about myself.

87% Extroversion - reasonable
25% Agreeableness - totally wrong
56% Conscientiousness - too much
83% Neuroticism - too much
46% openness - possibly. i'm more 50/50 or 60/40 in favor of openness.

that's funny. here's mine.

inventive • friendly • sensitive • efficient • reserved
87% Openness
46% Extroversion
69% Agreeableness
62% Neuroticism
55% Conscientiousness

here's what it says about openness. i like it. :D

[h=2]Openness[/h] Appreciation for art, emotion, adventure, unusual ideas, curiosity, and variety of experience. Openness reflects the degree of intellectual curiosity, creativity and a preference for novelty and variety a person has. It is also described as the extent to which a person is imaginative or independent, and depicts a personal preference for a variety of activities over a strict routine

Interesting.

I got:

INVENTIVE • EASY GOING • ANALYTICAL • RESERVED • SENSITIVE

45% Extroversion
87% Openness
41% Agreeableness
32% Conscientiousness
52% Neuroticism

The key words I rather like because they are quite broad and capture me more entirely (plus they're kinda flattering :D ). The big 5 are a just a little off as I normally get lower on Extroversion and higher on Agreeableness, but overall pretty accurate.

Here's mine:

Solitary - inventive - spontaneous - restless - friendly

83% Openness
13% Extroversion
73% Agreeableness
79% Neuroticism
18% Conscientiousness

Interestingly hardly anyone I know or the suggested famous people have the same as mine, in fact just one. Is not a source of snowflake specialness though, as it seems to imply people of my nature rarely succeed. Although I doubt I'd accept it even if it did.

What are you comparing this to with regards to it's inaccuracy?

I don't understand your answer, but maybe I wasn't clear, I was just curious about what you found about it's results to be inaccurate for yourself. Is it just a sense of identity, or knowing oneself differently?

Although I understand that people have different levels of awareness, I do wonder how people can actually measure that beyond just abstract concepts of what a self is. Or memory of specific reactions, which is very fallible.

Like I said, the words do fit (minus efficiency, since I can't even remember the last time I was concerned with what was efficient), they're just not the most prominent qualities I see in myself.

Using the definitions of agreeableness/neuroticism/etc, I gauged how much I see those qualities in myself.

Actually going back to this little tool, it's interesting, but after having looked at some friends I know quite well and going off my understanding of the big 5 definitions....it's not particularly accurate for many of them.

But then again it was inaccurate for me, it put me at 13% extraversion for example which so far makes me the least outgoing of my friends and that just isn't true and I doubt anyone else would say it was either; very few people think I'm introverted and if I experience myself as introverted it's more brought on by social-anxiety and a lifestyle that involves being at home a large amount of the time.

It could be that there aren't enough posts for an accurate reading though, I don't really post much on facebooks, it would probably give a better average from more posts. Although I don't know how it organises the information, possibly key words?

My understanding could be incorrect of course, but the big 5 are explained quite comprehensively.

*Edit* Looking through their descriptions of the big 5 factors, they give examples of words associated with the section.

Now I'm in disagreement with some of their words used but I can see now how the results might be skewed, I don't often post on facebook that I'm going out anywhere because I don't really see why it's anyone else's business nor why anyone would be interested, which a lot of the variations for their correlations with extraversion use.
