from the window-of-the-soul dept.

Arthur T Knackerbracket has found the following story:

It's often been said that the eyes are the window to the soul, revealing what we think and how we feel. Now, new research reveals that your eyes may also be an indicator of your personality type, simply by the way they move.

Developed by the University of South Australia in partnership with the University of Stuttgart, Flinders University and the Max Planck Institute for Informatics in Germany, the research uses state-of-the-art machine-learning algorithms to demonstrate a link between personality and eye movements.

Findings show that people's eye movements reveal whether they are sociable, conscientious or curious, with the algorithm software reliably recognising four of the Big Five personality traits: neuroticism, extroversion, agreeableness, and conscientiousness.

Researchers tracked the eye movements of 42 participants as they undertook everyday tasks around a university campus, and subsequently assessed their personality traits using well-established questionnaires.

UniSA's Dr Tobias Loetscher says the study provides new links between previously under-investigated eye movements and personality traits and delivers important insights for emerging fields of social signal processing and social robotics.

    To me, it wasn't no joke. Tore me up to see this go down. Wasn't a thing I could do about it.

    Not only did she mean a lot to me, I sure wanted to build on what her dad started and I was going to devote the rest of my life to it, so we could pass it to our kids in turn.

    Her dad had the business skills to maintain it, and I have the technical skills to turn that into a wonderful retreat for people to come home to. I was hoping her dad's business skills would rub off on her, but, I suppose trying to build and maintain a really beautiful oasis for us as well as others to live was simply not exciting. Her family had worked for generations to acquire this, and the whole thing was gone in less than ten years, and she looked like one of those Hollywood "has been" stories, now on Government assistance. With most of the fruits of her family's labor left in Vegas.
