Personality and Popularity in the Speakeasy (A Study!)

[Majiffy]

I heard Reck is into dudes.

Pass it on.

[Davsto]

I heard cooldog wanks a lot

[Majiffy]

That explains so much

[RadiantCowbells]

I heard that Batman is Bruce Wayne.

[Majiffy]

Yer fuckin' it up RC

[Kublai Khan]

You guys are being glib, but there was a long time between Reck coming out on the website and Reck coming out to his parents.

I know it's a longshot that any potential damage will arise of this, but I'd like to ask Psyche to shut this down for now until we can review the IBM confidentiality stuff.

[Kublai Khan]

Or I suppose Psyche could remove himself from Speakeasy access, and therefore the only quotes he could pull would be from public postings.

[RadiantCowbells]

I give permission for mine to be done with speakeasy posts included.

I think that by /inning it should be understood that you're agreeing to this being released publicly, no?

[Psyche]

Ok how about this. Until we work this out, I won't make any more profiles using speakeasy posts. Even people who've agreed to be profiled won't have their speakeasy posts included just in case other people's sensitive info are in those posts. Therefore IBM will never be sent any more Speakeasy posts again.

[Psyche]

Everyone who was in SUPP though have already been profiled, though, so their profiles (released publicly only if they consent) will still include Speakeasy posts. Not sharing those Speakeasy-sampled profiles won't undo the information I've sent to IBM, so this exception seems okay. Future profiles that I make submissions to IBM for, though, (like McMenno's or Postie's) will only include public posts. Sorry again for my mistake.

you can use my SE posts idgaf

you can use my SE posts idgaf

[Psyche]

It's possible some of your Speakeasy posts discuss things about

other

users that they wouldn't like sent to IBM. Not using speakeasy posts anymore doesn't really hurt me much going forward, so this isn't much of a handicap.

[Kublai Khan]

I give permission for mine to be done with speakeasy posts included.

That doesn't work. You could be talking about someone else's private information in Speakeasy.

From IBM's terms-of-use:

All User Materials which you submit or provide to the Application or to IBM are non-confidential.

Ok how about this. Until we work this out, I won't make any more profiles using speakeasy posts. Even people who've agreed to be profiled won't have their speakeasy posts included just in case other people's sensitive info are in those posts. Therefore IBM will never be sent any more Speakeasy posts again.

IBM's terms-of-user:

You agree to use the Application pursuant to, and you assume all responsibility for complying with, applicable laws, regulations and policies, and will obtain or have obtained any consents, permissions, or licenses that may be needed.

Make sure you get fully informed consent that IBM is in the business of collecting information. They make no mention that they plan to delete any provided information and will likely also information for marketing purposes.

Sure, why not?
I'm curious as to what it'll give.

im using dropbox because it's better
the profiles are better, too, right?
maybe i should have ranked the traits by something different from their magnitude
makes it hard to compare with other people
of course i'm planning to add individual ranks to the spreadsheets too
and the spreadsheets are still there...

everyone who was in SUPP and consented is there now!
i made it a lot easier to do these things thanks to dropbox (no more uploading!)

Interestingly enough, using the last three pages of my blog as a model, I got the following result:

Spoiler: Results

Summary

You are guarded, somewhat compulsive and can be perceived as inconsiderate.

You are unconcerned with art: you are less concerned with artistic or creative activities than most people who participated in our surveys. You are independent: you have a strong desire to have time to yourself. And you are intermittent: you have a hard time sticking with difficult tasks for a long period of time.

Your choices are driven by a desire for well-being.

You are relatively unconcerned with tradition: you care more about making your own path than following what others have done. You consider independence to guide a large part of what you do: you like to set your own goals to decide how to best achieve them.

You are likely to

Put health at risk

You are unlikely to

Adapt to situations; Spend on health and fitness; Buy eco-friendly

Found it interesting at the very least.

[Majiffy]

Is your blog entirely about how you dislike Dominoes and prefer to eat at Little Caesars?

[Majiffy]

Maybe I'm projecting.

[Psyche]

maybe my profiles would be easier to understand if i formatted them like that...

[Psyche]

I'm not sure what the profiler is getting at with its weird underprediction of artistic interests but whatever they're doing predicts popularity so i'm happy i guess

also clearly test/retest is as weak as expected...

[RadiantCowbells]

I can't say I agree with most of the conclusions drawn.

[Psyche]

yup yup

[Psyche]

some vectors to be added to the public folder:
how "distinctive" are you?
how "likeable" are you?

[zoraster]

I think it's interesting that my lowest is Artistic Interests but my highest is Imagination.
