In addition to status, comment link share, etc. on Facebook, another work that is done on a large scale is “Like”; If you like a content on a social network, it is very common to like it. But this simple fact can reveal extraordinary information about you.

A team of researchers from Cambridge University and Microsoft Research recently published a research paper on the likes and personality reflections of Facebook users. Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences The report highlights an analysis of data from the public wiki “My Personality” (Facebook application). According to the results, it is possible to get a fair idea about your personality from a few Facebook likes, which advertisers can use in marketing their products.

Even after keeping the Facebook profile information “private”, the “likes” given to the content of users’ pages, posts, images, etc. are being displayed as “public”. While showing the page suggestion, you must have noticed that if some of your Facebook friends like the page before, then by selecting some IDs, their profile picture and name are displayed.

Thinking naturally, it is understood that when we see a page or post related to the subject that we are usually interested in, we “like” it, status and comment on them. And in this way, if you use Facebook for a while, the amount of like-comment-status increases and the list of likes and dislikes starts appearing in your respective timeline.

So if you want to reveal / hide your personality, keep an eye on the activities like, comment, post etc. on Facebook!
