Scientists Found These Eye Traits To Be Indicative Of Your Personality—Which One Are You?

Scientists have recently developed a way for artificial intelligence to read your personality


Yes, with this new technology AI can detect four of the Big Five personality traits: conscientiousness, extroversion, agreeableness, and neuroticism. As of now, it can not detect the fifth trait, openness.


This development was made when the University of South Australia and the University of Stuttgart joined together to produce a study that monitored 42 participants. In the study, AI tracked and monitored the participants' eye movements and compared their observations with well-established questionnaires.


According to Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, the most important findings include the movement of the eye between fixed points, how often participants looked into specific areas of their visual field, variance in pupil diameter, and blink rate.


Here is the loose interpretation of these findings:
  • Curious: look around more
  • Open-minded: stare at abstract images for longer periods of time
  • Neurotic: blink faster
  • Open to new experiences: move their eyes from side-to-side more
  • More conscientiousness: have greater pupil size changes
  • Optimistic: spend less time looking at negative emotional things compared to people who are pessimistic


As fascinating as people find personality tests, the ultimate goal of the study is to improve human-machine interactions.


The possible applications of this new technology could be endless.




Some are skeptical.






And not everyone is sure they like its potential.

Trump Ripped After Posting Disturbing Parody Music Video About His Attack On Iran

President Donald Trump is facing harsh criticism after he shared a music video featuring the 1980 song "Bomb Iran"—a parody of The Regents song "Barbara Ann" that is best known for being covered by the Beach Boys—amid a ceasefire between Israel and Iran that could further inflame tensions in the Middle East.

The controversial parody song by Vince Vance & the Valiants plays over footage of B-2 stealth bombers, the same aircraft used to drop 14 GBU-57 bunker-buster bombs on Iranian nuclear facilities, including the Fordow enrichment plant, Natanz complex, and Isfahan site.

President Donald Trump lashed out at Zohran Mamdani after the 33-year-old democratic socialist handily defeated former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo in New York City's Democratic mayoral primary on Tuesday—only to be called out for projecting his own feelings of inadequacy onto the star candidate.

Mamdani ran a campaign centered around economic populism, arguing that the city, a global financial center, has grown unaffordable for everyday residents, citing soaring rents and grocery prices, and outlining policies aimed at reducing the cost of living.
