Computers are Better Judges of Personality Than Friends and Family
Computers can judge personality traits far more precisely than ever believed, according to newly published research.
In fact, they might do so better than one’s friends and colleagues. The study, published Jan. 12 and conducted jointly by researchers at Stanford University and the University of Cambridge, compares the ability of computers and people to make accurate judgments about our personalities. People’s judgments were based on their familiarity with the judged individual, while the computer used digital signals – Facebook “likes.”
