Twitter Psych.

AS you all probably know by now, I’m very active on twitter.

If you want to follow me, go on over to www.twitter.com/digitaldarragh

I heard about something today that caught my attention briefly. It’s called Twitter Psych. It examines the words you use in tweets and generates a psych profile of what you talk about most. Now, take it with a rather large pinch of sault but it’s some fun.

Visit the site your self at http://www.tweetpsych.com

Here is the analysis that it generated for me. Scary isn’t it? I dwell on the past,I don’t talk about sex half enough, I’ll have to fix that… I’m a control freek, with no regard for money, I’m overly negative and I dwel on morbid thoughts. Oh, I almost forgot, I’m imotive too! but hay, it’s all good. I’m highly analitical and quantitative, I like relaxing and being entertained, My thought processes are at a high level and my conseptual thinking is logical or something crazy like that. Jesus, I’m screwed up aren’t I?
