Study shows character assessment of Twitter profile pictures
Posted on: 30/May/2016 6:05:04 PM
A new study conducted by researchers at the University of Pennsylvania has said that your Twitter profile picture can say a lot about your personality.
Researchers used character assessment software to analyse the profile pictures of 66,000 Twitter users, and asked a further 434 people to fill in a psychological survey. The respondents were sorted in to five personality categories. These were neuroticism, agreeableness, conscientiousness, extroversion and openness to experience.
Say the researchers, neurotic people have trouble holding back their negative emotions. Participants in this category are likely to set their profile picture as something other than their face, such as a pet or building. Users who are agreeable are the most likely to be cheerful, get along with others and smile.
The profile pictures of agreeable people are one of the most likely to be colourful, and will feature the person laughing, playing with others or smiling broadly. Conscientious people are those who enjoy orderliness, planned behaviour and self-discipline. They are more likely to appear older than their years in profile pictures, and will use techniques such as wearing glasses or smarter clothes to achieve this.
Like agreeable people, even extroverts are likely to have colourful profile pictures and are always smiling. They also tend to pose with young people, or adopt other techniques to make themselves appear younger than they are. People who are open to experience are those who enjoy tackling new, exciting experiences and are not afraid to pose in an odd way. They are most likely to pose with an object and take colourless photos, looking angry or sad.
