What does Facebook think of you?


Most of us are unaware that Facebook and other internet giants collects and stores information about our daily activities. Facebook particularly collects and stores your likes, comments and post every day. This is done so as to enable Facebook to serve you relevant ads which it thinks you might like. Some researchers at the University of Cambridge have developed an easy to use online tool that can go through your profile and reveal to you what Facebook thinks of you.

By making use of your Facebook likes and comparing them to other users on the social network, it will reveal to you a near perfect look at your own personality. 

The tool code-named 'Apply Magic Sauce' begins with your gender, political view, intelligence, sexual preference and life satisfaction.



Furthermore the tool reveals to you your personality traits - like openness, how agreeable you are, being painstaking and careful, mental or personality disturbance and extroversion.

Most often times, internet users are unaware that data are collected based on their activities online. This has prompted these group of researchers to give users an in-depth look of what this social media giant perceives of them. The website or online tool stated that it will only collect your profile's likes and it will not store any of the information once complete - i think its safe to give it a try. You can visit it here.
