Your Online Profile Actually Tells a Lot About You

Posted by timothy on from the explains-my-dating-life dept.

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."

    I can tell you as an employer, we scan all the popular "social networking" sites before looking at someone as a possible employee. You kids out there who think it is cute to have suggestive crap on your site be forewarned...employers look at these sites too, not just the 18-30 year old hotties you are trying to seduce.
