Scientists Found These Eye Traits To Be Indicative Of Your Personality—Which One Are You?

Scientists have recently developed a way for artificial intelligence to read your personality


Yes, with this new technology AI can detect four of the Big Five personality traits: conscientiousness, extroversion, agreeableness, and neuroticism. As of now, it can not detect the fifth trait, openness.


This development was made when the University of South Australia and the University of Stuttgart joined together to produce a study that monitored 42 participants. In the study, AI tracked and monitored the participants' eye movements and compared their observations with well-established questionnaires.


According to Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, the most important findings include the movement of the eye between fixed points, how often participants looked into specific areas of their visual field, variance in pupil diameter, and blink rate.


Here is the loose interpretation of these findings:
  • Curious: look around more
  • Open-minded: stare at abstract images for longer periods of time
  • Neurotic: blink faster
  • Open to new experiences: move their eyes from side-to-side more
  • More conscientiousness: have greater pupil size changes
  • Optimistic: spend less time looking at negative emotional things compared to people who are pessimistic


As fascinating as people find personality tests, the ultimate goal of the study is to improve human-machine interactions.


The possible applications of this new technology could be endless.




Some are skeptical.






And not everyone is sure they like its potential.

There was the borscht, pierogies, and sausage at Polish restaurant Mazurka (R.I.P.) on Rue Prince-Arthur in Montreal, Canada. The poutine I sampled across Quebec and the Maritimes. All the fresh breads, doner kebabs, schnitzel, and baked French onion soups I ate while TDY in Germany. The yakisoba, sushi, and seafood curry I had while working for the DoD in Japan.

Elon Musk Mocked For Hilariously Wrong Prediction About Matt Gaetz—And Yeah, That Did Not Age Well

After former Florida congressman Matt Gaetz dropped out of contention for President-elect Donald Trump's Attorney General post, a hilariously over the top post from billionaire Elon Musk—who is tapped to lead Trump's "Department" of Government Efficiency—resurfaced that showcases how wrong Musk was about Gaetz's future within the second Trump administration.

Gaetz was previously the subject of a Justice Department investigation into alleged sex trafficking involving a 17-year-old girl and has faced scrutiny from the House Ethics Committee over accusations of sexual misconduct. However, that inquiry effectively concluded last week when Gaetz announced his resignation from Congress.
