watson personality analysis - twitter

[Jeanne Boyarsky]

IBM has a personality analysis based on text - or your twitter feed. It asks for OAuth permission to access your twitter account to read tweets from your timeline and see who you follow. I was surprised at how accurate it was. Anyway, cool thing to share.

Summary

You are skeptical and shrewd.

You are unconcerned with art: you are less concerned with artistic or creative activities than most people who participated in our surveys. You are reserved: you are a private person and don't let many people in. And you are self-focused: you are more concerned with taking care of yourself than taking time for others.

You are motivated to seek out experiences that provide a strong feeling of prestige.

You are relatively unconcerned with taking pleasure in life: you prefer activities with a purpose greater than just personal enjoyment. You consider achieving success to guide a large part of what you do: you seek out opportunities to improve yourself and demonstrate that you are a capable person.

I'm not convinced. After the first few sentences, it just went downhill. But, that ought to be true for any INTJ.

I have never used or even been to Twitter. I don't like programs that do this though. Data mining is evil. JMO.

By the way Jeanne, did I tell you you look lovely tonight? :^)

Data mining is beautiful. It reveals so much about ourselves. Otherwise, it's a false sense of security through obscurity.
