Re/code:
Information computation and visualization from a new company called Five uses academic word lists corresponding with psychologists’ established notion of the “big five” personality traits: extraversion, agreeableness, conscientiousness, neuroticism and openness. Based on the volume of words used from the lists, each person is assigned a warped pentagon that’s shaped around their own personal leanings.
The people at Five are hoping you’ll be freaked out by how well they can describe you.
First of all, it’s based just on Facebook, not “the internet”. And the results didn’t freak me out at all. How about you?
Let’s see, according the the “analysis” I am “SOLITARY, COMPASSIONATE, INVENTIVE, EFFICIENT & SENSITIVE. Suuure. Why not. Considering how few posts I have made and I have been a member since god knows when. It’s probably not that accurate. Maybe as a psychic who does good cold readings. Eh. No freak out here.
Before taking this test, I’m going to predict that they assume I’m cold, analytical, and pretentious.
No particular reason.
