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."
It says you're the kind of person that has a Facebook profile.
So you've figured out from my facebook page that I'm an antisocial loser with no social skills. HOLY CRAP; are you some sort of detective?
An analysis of your posting history shows too many "Informative" mods and not enough "Funny". I'm looking for someone a little less serious-minded, someone who's not afraid to risk a "Troll" mod in the spirit of adventure.
Repton.
They say that only an experienced wizard can do the tengu shuffle.
That is why on the NYT registration page I am a 16 year old female attorney from Afghanistan named Osama Bin Laden. Honest!
My rights don't need management.
what if i actually like obscure and popular music, and have bad taste, you insentitive clod!
Snowden and Manning are heroes.
It's really surprising just how much we disconnect ourselves from our many social inhibitions when communicating over the internet versus when we're actually interacting with others in public

God invented whiskey so the Irish would not rule the world.
I think she wants to have sex with me.
That's a design flaw in your parser-it should know to recognize "-" as the preface to a new dependent clause.
My sig is ADD+sparkles, so I'd be surprised if it didn't make people go cross eyed.

I shudder to think where you work.
If you can read this, I forgot to post anonymously.
I shudder to think where you work, at 10PM, on a Sunday.
How can I believe you when you tell me what I don't want to hear?
That just tells me you're a pathological liar with a fetish for far-west Asian teens and extreme hatred of the US government.
And you also read the NY Times.
Calling someone a "hater" only means you can not rationally rebut their argument.
I'll bite: You are a pasty teenage boy with an unconscious sexual desire for your mother.
You desire a lower slashdot id because you believe that will give you more status, but you haven't one because you spend your time posting to male dominated, english language forums and surfing porn.

Your philosophy on life is a cross between an advertisement for a breakfast cereal and a science fiction space opera.
You believe trolls are a higher form of evolution.
You can actually learn more about someone's Agreeableness from their online profile than from a first date.
A statement only Slashdot readers could believe.
Property is theft.
That's funny. I don't even have a Facebook profile. It's a rather lame thing to have. I prefer to do my 'social networking' in the real world.

"OMG, you typoed a 5 letter word that I know how to spell! You must be more stupid than me!!!" lameness. It's not even pedantry, it's being a worthless loser and knowing it. Nothing more.
Everyone knows it's "typod". It's 5 letters, not 6. Dumbass.
Ah, this is going to be one to tell my grandkids in The Sims. How they will laugh and admire me :)
which is totally what she said
Well, perhaps it's because you're a woman, and you *did* say 'string-drop'. Which gets me all flustered and confused.
Religion is what happens when nature strikes and groupthink goes wrong.
