Test your personality based on Facebook likes

YouAreWhatYouLike.com is a one-click personality test, developed by David Stillwell of Nottingham University and Michal Kosinski of Cambridge University in the UK.

All you have to do is connect the site to Facebook, and it will scan your likes, and calculate your personality. It’s really easy, so why not give it a try?

The results are based on research done on data collected from Facebook personality testing. The idea is that people with different personalities like different things. The researcher have found, for example, that people who like ‘deviantart.com’ are generally liberal, while people who like NASCAR are more traditional.

According to my own results, liking lots of 80s Schwarzenegger movies will make you calm, relaxed, liberal and artistic! As they say, the test is not 100% accurate.

YouAreWhatYouLike.com claims the test is revolutionary as it’s hard to fake, because observing your past behavior through ‘likes’ is more accurate than traditional testing. However, this assumes that people don’t try to misrepresent themselves on Facebook.

Are your likes on Facebook all honest? Do you agree with the results of YouAreWhatYouLike.com?
