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.
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.
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.
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.

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.

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.
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
Personality
Emotional range
84%
Self-consciousness 93%
Fiery 80%
Melancholy 76%
Susceptible to stress 71%
Impulsiveness 64%
Prone to worry 63%
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...
