What does your profile photo say about you?
According to a new research survey, your social media profile picture can reveal a lot about your personality.
THE profile picture is often the first thing people see about our social media pages, and experts believe the photos can tell a lot about the user’s personality.
A study at the University of Pennsylvania, which analysed 60 000 social media users’ photos and asked 429 people to fill out a personality questionnaire, has made the following conclusions.
If the profile picture is a close-up of the user’s face it means that he or she is conscientious, organised and self disciplined.
