Apparently, people can tell a lot about you based on what your share via Facebook posts. A California-based start-up 'Five' can do so with its nifty personality analyzing generator.
The generator, which is essentially an interactive infographic, "examines the linguistic content of Facebook wall posts, pulling key words to make strikingly accurate estimates about individual personalities."
To see what your Facebook posts say about you, all you have to do is log into Five's site with your Facebook account information. It then breaks down your personality into five categories (Openness, Extraversion, Agreeableness, Neuroticism and Conscientiousness) and rates you with a score ranging from 0-100% for each one. Upon getting your results, it will compare you to the personalities of iconic public figures like Bill Gates and Steve Jobs and even to some of your friends.
