Who is this woman?

Just read an article about photos posted online:

http://news.yahoo.com/s/livescience/20091109/sc_livescience/postingpicsonlinewhatyourphotossayaboutyou

Participants in the study, looking just at Facebook or webpage photos, were able to accurately describe nine of ten personality traits of the person being viewed.

I like that idea. Let's try it at home.

Looking at the following two photos, I would like you to please rate the two women in terms of these ten personality traits:

extraversion, agreeableness, conscientiousness, emotional stability, openness (open to experience), likability, self-esteem, loneliness, religiosity and political orientation.

Woman number 1:


Woman number 2:


Based on the pictures alone, woman #1 is moderately extroverted, agreeable, perhaps not highly conscientious, and has low emotional stability. However, she is quite open, moderately likable, has high self-esteem, never lonely. She is obviously strictly religious and a Republican.

Woman #2 is an introvert, albeit an agreeable one. She is very conscientious, but probably suffers from depression, so scores low on emotional stability. She is not very open, moderately likable, has moderate self-esteem, is definitely lonely, pious, and a Republican.

Both women unfortunately also appear to suffer from gastrointestinal ailments. Pity, that.

Ha ha ha. I make myself laugh.

OH, no. I think the top one looks like an Indpendent. Notice the feisty spirit!

You've given me a lot to think about, Republican.
