Apply Magic Sauce

[Z Buck McFate]

And why is it giving everyone else cool things like sexual orientation and relationship status guesses, but all I got was age?

At first, I didn't notice the tabs across the top of the infographic stuff. I was wondering why I wasn't getting the same information as others too. But once I clicked on the "all sources" tab, then I was getting all the information.

And it's maybe worth noting that different tabs give different answer. For example, just the "facebook posts" tab suggests I'm 30 years old, but the tab including all sources suggests 40 years old.

One of the weird things about this test is that it guessed I'm more feminine than the average female. Usually I come across to people as being on the more masculine side. *Especially* online. I wonder what their criteria for this is.

I don't know much about the big five (or what my results would be on a more comprehensive test), but these sound alright to me:

Openness to experience describes a dimension of personality that distinguishes imaginative, creative people from down-to-earth, conventional people.

Your digital footprint suggests that you are far more intellectually curious and sensitive to beauty than most. You might say that your beliefs are individualistic and frequently drift towards the unconventional, and that you enjoy your imagination and the exciting places it takes you!
Conscientiousness concerns the way in which we control, regulate, and direct our impulses.

Your digital footprint suggests that you are spontaneous and fun. You like to do unexpected things that make life that bit more interesting. You might say that you aren’t completely unreliable, but you’ve been known to slip up on occasion.
Extraversion is marked by pronounced engagement with the external world, versus being comfortable with your own company.

Your digital footprint suggests that you are quiet and somewhat withdrawn. It describes you as someone who doesn’t need lots of other people around to have fun, and can sometimes find that people are tiring.
Agreeableness reflects individual differences in concern with cooperation and social harmony.

Your digital footprint suggests that you get along well with others, especially once they have proved themselves to be trustworthy. You seem to have a healthy scepticism about others’ motives, but that doesn’t stop you from considering others to be basically honest and decent.
Neuroticism refers to the tendency to experience negative emotions.

Your digital footprint suggests that you are calm and emotionally stable. You come across as someone who is rarely bothered by things, and when they do get you down the feeling does not persist for very long.

also the fact that i liked chick-fil-a seems to be really confusing the system.

Facebook was the only source I had. I don't have a twitter or anything.

You're an IT guy, right? Are you not paranoid about logging in with your Facebook or Twitter account through some obscure website, that will undoubtedly scrape all your info and maybe your password too?

Whenever a third party site asks me to log in with my Facebook, I tell them to fuck right off - even big, "legit" sites. I either create a new account unique to their website, or never use them.

I'm paranoid about a lot of things but not my twitter or facebook account. I use a password manager which includes different complex passwords on every site I access. I use multifactor authentication on any important accounts (like my account here, mail account, my bank, brokerage, etc.). I worry about malware getting on my laptop and do my best to keep up to date patches at all time and have a user account vs. and admin account whenever i use my personal laptop and am surfing the web. I rarely use my work laptop for personal stuff of surfing the web. We have a WordPress installation on here and I update it constantly for new patches. We have application firewalls set up on the site and have continuous monitoring through a variety of means for bots that do screen scraping, detecting malware, anomalous activity, file changes, etc.

So, yeah, I'm paranoid about security but try to focus on those things that are important. Do I trust facebook? No. Probably my biggest worry there is them getting hacked and someone getting my email address and password and using it somewhere else. That's why it's important to use a different password on every site you use. I don't usually use Facebook authentication but I would for a low risk site - like if I'm browsing real estate or something.

There is no perfect security but you do the best you can.

Facebook was the only source I entered too - but there are still different tabs: facebook likes, facebook posts, and then both combined.
