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.

I will never, ever understand why blowing all your money in the moment and screwing over your own future is more exciting or hip than a future of potentially being rich! I can see how the danger and fear of losing everything could be exhilarating to some people but that sounds pretty self destructive to me. I get that it has something to do with living in the moment, but if you have a decent amount of wealth and know that sometime soon it will all be gone, you mustn't just value the now more than the future, you must value it hundreds of thousands of times more!
In some ways I suppose the present is more valuable than the future. After all if you spend your whole life looking forward, you never really appreciate the raw experience itself. But hundreds of thousands of times more valuable? Even when you factor in that, depending on your age, the future may consist of many, many more present moments and you're comparing those against just the current one? Yeah these people are either really, really fucking stupid or they have a desperate urge to destroy themselves.
Sorry to hear what happened to you, and to her. I hope your own future brings you something better.

Money ain't all it's cracked up to be. It don't buy happiness, just surcease of misery and worries. Once you achieve that level, it's just a game to see how much more you can make. Not a particularly fun game to me though.

Beyond a certain level, yeah. It's a bit like what I was saying about always looking to the future and never fully enjoying the present, if you're always chasing more money and never enjoying what you could do with it. Below that level though, it sure is useful for paying for stuff you need.

Yup. It's necessary to a point but only diminishingly desirable from there on up. My earning capability is way, way above where my "Meh, I'm going fishing." point is, for example. I can live with no serious complaints at somewhere around $30-40K/yr but I prefer a bit more than that for shiny new toys purposes and savings. Beyond that, I'd rather spend time enjoying what I already have than acquire more shit that I'm not going to have time to properly enjoy.
