Your Online Profile Actually Tells a Lot About You

An anonymous reader writes "Despite all the media reports that your Facebook profile is giving the wrong impression, a psychological study shows people really can understand your personality from your online profile. Turns out you're not giving the wrong impression with your profile; you're giving the right impression to the wrong people. You can actually learn more about someone's Agreeableness from their online profile than from a first date."

    In other words, no job for you in my security department!

    I'm dead serious about this. Anyone who is spilling his personal info on Facebook or similar sites will not work for me in any sensitive area. If they are careless about their personal information, I will not trust them to keep any company secrets either. They just don't think of the ramifications of their actions, and I don't want anyone like that in any security job.
