Ever wonder why iPhone users often seem to have the same personality, or why you could never understand an Android fan?

UK researchers finally developed a test that could predict what kind of cellphone a user is likely to have, and here are the conclusions:

A comparison of both Android and iPhone users revealed that iPhone users are more likely to be:

        Younger
        More than twice as likely to be women
        More likely to see their phone as a status object
        More extraverted
        Less concerned about owning devices favoured by most people

In contrast, Android users were more likely to be:

        Male
        Older
        More honest
        More agreeable
        Less likely to break rules for personal gain
        Less interested in wealth and status

The full article is paywalled but an abstract is avilable.

Now if only there was a way to separate correlation and causation...
