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.

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.
