Computer Algorithm tries to figure out who are you.

Based on what you like, etc.

I'm 26.
75% masculine
I'm 51% likely to be NOT in a relationship.  16% married, 33% in a relationship.
20% chance of being gay.
Education: Art, Journalism, Psychology, Business, Biology, Engineering, IT...
Personality: Everything 30-40%, except agreeableness: 28%
Political:
Liberal - 38%
Conservative - 34%
Libertarian - 12%
Uninvolved - 15%

Religion:
None - 41%
Other Christian - 34%
Catholic - 18%

Life satisfaction - 50%

Intelligence - 52%

Ummmm...  I think someone's algorithm needs help.

The researchers made the subjects take a MyPersonality survey to create a baseline, then asked friends and relatives to judge them with a similar survey. The results were surprising -- the computer model could judge someone better than a friend or roommate by analyzing just 70 likes, and do better than a parent or sibling with 150 likes. The average number of likes per user in the study was 227, enough for the computer to evaluate someone better than almost anyone, with one exception: their spouses.

Yes, I agree with your assessment that percentage is too low.

Sorry, it looks like you don’t have a sufficient number of Facebook Likes for us to generate an accurate enough prediction!


Since I don't like many things they should have guessed emo.

Unless emo isn't really what they want us to think it is.

I'm:
-28
-52% Masculine
-2% chance of being gay
-45% chance of not being in a relationship
-27% chance of being in a relationship
-28% chance of being married
(Should I point out right now that my FB account actually says I'm married, and I know I've referenced my wife by the word "wife" within the past few months?)
-Personality is all over the map from 23% (extravert) to 52% (Conscientiousness)
-Education it just has no idea and basically picked everything equally.
-46% Conservative, 28% Liberal, 11% Libertarian (I have a post from November that says "Vote Libertarian"...), 15% Uninvolved
-30% No religion, 24% Catholic, 39% Other Christian, and small bits of Mormon, Lutheran, Jewish
-38% life satisfaction
-72% Intelligence

It just goes by "likes" so I believe this is not only a shitty algorithm,  but it's trying to predict who a person is based on the wrong thing. It's like trying to predict who someone is based on gifts they receive rather than on items they actually buy.
