Your Facebook Status says more about your personality-See How
If you think your facebook status update says nothing about your personality, then you have to read this...
According to themirroruk, the researchers from the University of Pennsylvania and Cambridge looked at Facebook users who had downloaded a personality test app – MyPersonality.
They got permission from 70,000 users of that app to use their personliaty test results, and then to monitor their facebook status updates for two and a half years between January 2009 and November 2011.
It resulted in 15 million messages.
The study's lead author Greg Park of Pennsylvania University said that neuroticism was the hardest personality type to find through Facebook analysis. "The worst score was in neuroticism, that makes sense from what psychologisst know. Because it's internal, it's the hardest to spot from examining language".

Here’s how different words match up to different personality traits
1) Are you an extrovert or an introvert?
These are the words extroverts use:
Night, party, girls, tonight, best, thank, love!, amazing, baby, weekend
Extrovert words also included positive emotions like enthusiasm (best, stoked, pumped) and words about social activities (party, hanging, dinner with).
These are the words introverts use:
Least, probably, why, won’t, which, read computer apparently I’ve evil, actually writing death
Introverts tend to use words that show they are more focused inwards eg (i’ve , i don’t , i should ).
They’re more interested in things – especially computers. So words like "computer , book , chemistry" come up more.
And instead of just shooting out with their opinion, they’re more likely to be tentative about what they think using words like probably, suppose, apparently.
2) Are you open to new experiences?
If you’re using words like:
Something, soul, music, eyes, death, universe, world, light
You’re more likely to be open to new experiences.
Also if you’re using apostrophes right – that’s a sign you’re probably more open-minded too. Using more complicated grammar is a sign of intelligence and that tends to correlate with openness.
For the same reason more open people are more likely to use words like “of, into, by” because those show they’re making more complicated sentences. Again that’s a sign of intelligence and openness.
At the other end of the scale, words like:
Great, wait, happy family, bed L, weekend, u, baby, game ur, Friday nite
Show you’re less likely to be open to new experiences.
3) Are you conscientious?
Are you conscientious? That means you work hard and take responsibility.
People with high conscientiousness use words like:
Family, great, excited, wonderful, thank, proud, friends, blessed, beautiful, amazing
People with low conscientiousness – the ones who won’t do the washing-up and won’t remember your birthday use words like:
Wanna, fucking, like, random, song, dead, kill, stupid, pokemon, bleh, xd, creepy
4) Are you agreeable?
Okay this one may not surprise you. Agreeable or nice people tend to use words that are well agreeable.
Those are words like:
Wonderful, tomorrow, friends, family, happy, amazing love, prayer, rude, lord
Yes – it’s quite similar to the words by people who are conscientitous.
People who use words like these a lot are NOT agreeable.
Shit, fuck, fucking, kill, damn, bitch, kill, hell, ass, haters, pissed, why, bullshit, wtf
Probably didn’t need a scientist to tell you that but anyway.
5) Are you neurotic?
Neurotic people are more affected by stress than others - so people with higher neuroticism may be more anxious or depressed.
People who are neurotic tend to use words like this in their status updates:
Sick, anymore, feel, stupid, don’t, hate, want, hair, headache, myself, pissed
People who more stable and calm tend to use words like this:
Game, great, time, football, weekend, team, workout, greatest, party, success, chill
