The links between bloggers' personalities and their use of words

You’ve probably heard these before:
You are what you eat/ what you read/ what you study.

Now here is a new one: You are what you blog!

According to Tal Yarkon, who analysed 694 blogs for the purposes of a research on personality and blog word usage, ‘you can tell a person's personality from the words they use’.

‘Some commentators have suggested that the internet allows people to present idealised versions of themselves to the world. Contrary to that idea, Yarkoni found that bloggers' choice of words consistently related to their personality type just as has been found in past offline research.’
