One thing the personality project certainly does is suggest how power social media can be in participant recruitment! Interesting stuff to think on in terms of the results as well.

Subject: Automated image rhetoric and user characteristics assessment
Another research project further down the page refers to research identifying computer assessment of personality is better than friends and family. This has implications in terms of understanding users and their behaviours and preferences.

Again this leads to hard questions. What are the implications for design practices, design education and design research? How fast do these parts of the design field have to change to avoid being left behind or overtaken by other fields poaching into design business?
Best wishes,
Terry
