TweetPsych. Neat Idea

I tried out TweetPsych. It is an interesting idea but I’m not sure what the results below based on my tweets mean. It is good to see twitter analysis that goes beyond managing followers.

Cognitive Content

  1. Present tense
  2. Self reference
  3. Similes
  4. Senses
  5. Future tense
  6. Positive emotions
  7. Negative emotions
  8. Media, entertainment & celebrities
  9. Insight

Primordial, Conceptual and Emotional Content

  1. Abstract thought
  2. Visual sensations
  3. Affection
  4. Cold sensations
  5. Constructive behaviors
  6. Oral fixation
  7. Concreteness
  8. Moral imperative
  9. Order
  10. Anxiety

TweetPsych uses two linguistic analysis algorithms (RID and LIWC) to build a psychological profile of a person based on the content of their tweets.
